Rat bite fever: fever, arthritis, and rash in a 4-year-old boy.

Rat bite fever is a rare but potentially fatal Gram-negative infection that predominantly affects populations with exposure to rats, notably children. The clinical presentation is nonspecific and requires a high threshold of suspicion to elicit a history of rat exposure. We report here a case of a child whose diagnosis was made retrospectively but with good outcome.

Моделирование гемоглобина в лихорадке денге и геморрагической лихорадке денге с использованием биоэлектрического импульса.

В настоящем документе описывается модель прогнозирования гемоглобина (Hb) с использованием биоэлектрического анализа импульса (BIA) у пациентов денге в больнице " Университи Кебангсаан Малайзия " (HUKM). Измерения биоэлектрического импульса были проведены на 83 пациентах (47 мужчин и 36 женщин) серологически подтвержденной лихорадкой денге (DF) и геморрагической лихорадкой денге (DHF) во время их госпитализации. Предсказующее уравнение для Hb было составлено с использованием многовариантного анализа. Мы изучили все параметры BIA, симптомы пациентов и демографические данные. В этой ра

This paper describes a model for predicting hemoglobin (Hb) by using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in dengue patients in the Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM). Bioelectrical impedance measurements were conducted on 83 (47 males and 36 females) serologically confirmed dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) patients during t…

Fever and rash in a 3-year-old girl: Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

Initial symptoms of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), a tick-borne illness caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, are nonspecific and include headache, gastrointestinal disturbances, malaise, and myalgias, followed by fever and rash. The classic triad of fever, rash, and history of tick exposure is uncommon at presentation. Clinical manifestations of RMSF range from virtually asymptomatic to severe. Because of the potentially fatal outcome of RMSF, presumptive clinical diagnosis and empiric antimicrobial therapy can be critical. We present the case of a 3-year-old girl from New York State who pre…

Эпидемиология лихорадки Ласса в Гане: исследование вспышки лихорадки Ласса в Гане в 2023 году.

Вспышка вирусных заболеваний по-прежнему является одной из основных проблем здравоохранения с учетом ее воздействия на жизнь и источники средств к существованию. Исторические данные свидетельствуют о том, что лихорадка Ласса эндемична в ряде западноафриканских стран, причем в других странах региона имеют место спорадические случаи. В феврале 2023 года Гана зарегистрировала вторую вспышку лихорадки Ласса после 2011 года. Цель настоящего исследования состояла в том, чтобы задокументировать эпидемиологию недавней вспышки эпидемии в Гане. МЕТОДЫ: В исследовании использовались данные из формуляров

BACKGROUND: Viral disease outbreak remains a key public health concern given its impact on life and livelihood. Historical data suggests Lassa fever is endemic in several West African countries with sporadic cases occurring elsewhere in the region. In February 2023, Ghana recorded its second outbreak of Lassa fever following that of 2011. The present study s…

[A Case of Dengue Fever Presenting with Fever and Atypical Skin Rash and A Literature Review].

The Dengue virus (DENV) is an arthropod-borne flavivirus that causes Dengue fever. While it is frequently seen in tropical and subtropical regions such as the Americas, Southeast Asia, Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Pacific countries, it has been observed to spread to wider geographical areas in recent years. Dengue fever is currently the most widespread mosquito-borne infection worldwide. In our country, the reported cases are imported cases with a history of travel to these regions. However, factors such as the presence of Aedes mosquitoes in our geography, global climate chan…

Role of T cells, cytokines and antibody in dengue fever and dengue haemorrhagic fever.

Dengue infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. There is no vaccine for dengue and also there are no anti-viral drugs to treat the infection. Some patients, typically those experiencing a secondary infection with a different dengue serotype, may progress from an acute febrile disease to the more severe forms of disease, dengue haemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. Here we discuss the significant immunopathological component to severe disease and how T cells, cytokines and cross-reactive antibody combine to contribute…

Bichat guidelines for the clinical management of Q fever and bioterrorism-related Q fever.

Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by Coxiella burnetii. Its interest as a potential biological weapon stems from the fact that an aerosol of very few organisms could infect humans. Another route of transmission of C. burnetii could be through adding it to the food supply. Nevertheless, C. burnetii is considered to be one of the less suitable candidate agents for use in a bioterrorist attack; the incubation is long, many infections are inapparent and the mortality is low. In the case of an intentional release of C. burnetii by a terrorist, clinical presentation would be similar to naturally …
