A man with acute Q fever developed hyponatraemia associated with inappropriate secretion of anti-diuretic hormone. The pyrexial illness lasted for 9 weeks and failed to respond to tetracycline, erythromycin and intravenous lincomycin. Subsequently seroconversion indicated chronic Q fever.
A 64-year-old man presented with protracted fever, hyponatremia, and mononeuritis multiplex. Inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion was established. The absence of pulmonary infiltrates precluded any lung biopsy. Autopsy revealed malignant angioendotheliomatosis involving multiple organs
The effect of acceleration and hyperthermia on the antidiuretic hormone secretion (ADH) was investigated in rats both separately and simultaneously. The two conditions of stress elicited a rise in plasma ADH concentration in proportion to their intensity. Concomitant exposure to the two factors
A 51-year-old man with serologically confirmed Rocky Mountain spotted fever was believed to have inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion. He was observed for four days in the hospital until the correct diagnosis was made. During this period, he progressively became more hyponatremic,
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a potentially fatal systemic disease in children caused by a tick- borne virus. Many different clinical and laboratory findings are seen in CCHF. We report here an atypical presentation of CCHF with hyponatremia. CCHF with electrolyte imbalance is not
A basal value of antidiuretic activity (ADA) of the plasma was determined in 79 HFRS patients and stimulated activity using the insulin tolerance test in 24 persons. A decrease in the plasma ADA was observed in the acute period of disease. The insulin tolerance test did not cause a statistically
delta-Aminolevulinic acid dehydratase deficiency porphyria (ALAD porphyria, ADP) with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) in a 69-year-old woman is reported. The patient was admitted to our hospital complaining of slight cough with low-grade fever, and treated with
To find the incidence, markers and nature of complications of typhoid fever, we studied 102 children with cultures positive for Salmonella typhi in a cross-sectional study, prospectively, over a period of almost 5 years. All isolates were sensitive to commonly used antibiotics. One third of these
Fever is common in postoperative neurosurgical patients. When fever is present, thermoregulatory responses regulate body temperature within a range that appears to have an upper limit. Endogenous substances, such as arginine vasopressin (AVP), modulate the thermoregulatory response during fever and
Arginine vasopressin (AVP), synthesized in hypothalamic neurons, is transported in axons either to the pituitary for release into the circulation or to different brain areas. In our previous experiments we documented central antipyretic AVP pathways from the hypothalamus to the ventrolateral septal
