Proliferation of the lymphoid system should arouse suspicion of a potentially serious illness. We present a 4.5-year-old boy who developed fever, vomiting, diarrhea, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphocytosis, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and increased liver enzymes. Lymph node and bone marrow
Headache with neurologic deficits and cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytosis is a benign condition with a transient ischemic attack-like presentation. We present a case of a 22-year-old man with episodes of right-sided weakness, global dysphasia, and right-sided homonymous hemianopsia associated with
A case of acute infectious lymphocytosis in a 6 1/2-year-old Black girl is described. The presenting symptoms were headache, vomiting and abdominal pain. The peripheral haematological values showed marked lymphocytosis with absence of atypical lymphocytes. The bone marrow and the thrombocyte count
A rare case of primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) is reported with its clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features. A 20-year-old girl presented with headache, projectile vomiting, unsteadiness of gait and urgency of micturition. She had left seventh nerve upper motor
The clinical presentations of laboratory-confirmed Bordetella pertussis infection in Chang Gung Children's Hospital during 1997 and 2001 were analyzed. Of the 46 cases, 25 (54.3%) were male. The patients ages ranged from 24 days to 37 years, with a mean and median of 4.3 years and 10.5 years,
METHODS
A 6-month-old spayed female Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier and 8-month-old spayed female Shih Tzu were referred because of complications related to inadvertent ureteral ligation and transection during recent ovariohysterectomy.

The Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier had a 2-day history of
We studied 45 cases of adult and adolescent pertussis. The diagnosis of pertussis was made by two criteria. 1) 4-fold increase in antibody against B. pertussis with paired sera (A group: 15 cases). 2) Titer of anti PT antibody above 100 EU/ml (B group: 30 cases). Paroxysmal cough was 100% in A and B
Acellular pertussis vaccines have been used for mass immunization of children in Japan since the fall of 1981, but until recently they have not been evaluated in the United States. We report a trial with a DTP vaccine containing an acellular pertussis component in 36 four to six year old children
This is the first study in children from the United States that evaluates the immunogenicity of and adverse reactions to the Connaught/Biken two-component acellular pertussis vaccine compared with whole-cell pertussis vaccine when given as a primary immunization series at 2, 4, and 6 months of age.
An acellular pertussis-component diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (AC-DTP) vaccine was compared with a currently licensed, whole-cell pertussis-component DTP (WC-DTP) vaccine for reactogenicity and immunogenicity when given as the fourth DTP immunization in sixty 18- to 24-month-old children. Reactions

Whooping cough-like respiratory tract infections (WCLRTI) caused by factors other than the Bordetella pertussis are available. Clinical picture is difficult to differentiate between the B. pertussis and viral respiratory infections.Eighty-five patients with This paper reports a one-month-old female with a one-week history of low grade fever and rhinorrhea, and one day of intermittent cough and cyanosis. The signs and symptoms are typical for pertussis in an infant less than six months old. The incidence of pertussis in the neonate and infant appears to
