The incidence of congenital toxoplasmosis in Israel is largely unknown, as is the impact of this condition on the neurological diseases of childhood. We examined the association between toxoplasmosis and three neurological disorders: epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and nerve deafness. Ninety-five children
OBJECTIVE
To describe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and septic shock in a cat with disseminated toxoplasmosis.
METHODS
A 2-year-old neutered male domestic shorthair cat was presented for acute respiratory distress. At the time of presentation it had been receiving cyclosporine for
Between December 1981 and May 1991, 44 infants and children with congenital toxoplasmosis were referred to our study group. A uniform approach to evaluation and therapy was developed and is described herein along with the clinical characteristics of these infants and children. In addition, case
Approximately two billion people worldwide are chronically infected with T. gondii and yet with largely unknown consequences. On the other hand, several authors reported an association between migraine and patent foramen ovale (PFO), and different types of headaches, including migraine, may be
Dapsone is a common medication that is utilized in the treatment of dermatological conditions, pneumocystis pneumonia, and toxoplasmosis. Methemoglobinemia is a known but rare complication of dapsone therapy that can result in cyanosis. We present a case of a patient on dapsone therapy who developed
BACKGROUND
Neonatal blueberry muffin lesions are rare cutaneous eruptions, presenting as transient, non-blanching, red-violaceous papules, mostly localized in the trunk, head and neck, attributable to a marked dermal hematopoietic activity. Congenital infections of the TORCH complex (toxoplasmosis,
Localized, myocardial toxoplasmosis contributed to the death of a female ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) 1 week after the delivery of 4 stillborn offspring with disseminated toxoplasmosis; the diagnosis was obtained by histopathology and immunohistochemistry in all 5 lemurs. Varying degrees of
There is an unacknowledged clinical presentation of ovine toxoplasmosis characterized by early abortions and lesions of fetal leukoencephalomalacia. To investigate the pathogenesis of this condition, the extent and distribution of leukomalacia and the variations in the cell populations associated
Gravid Nya:NYLAR mice, infected with Toxoplasma gondii on gestation day 7, experienced embryo resorptions, abortions, stillbirths, and a reduction in average litter size by one-third. Postnatally, all congenitally infected pups showed growth retardation, cachexia, and hind limb weakness. Some pups
The ability of various infections to suppress neoplastic growth has been well documented. This phenomenon has been traditionally attributed to infection-induced concomitant, cell-mediated antitumor immunity. We found that infection with Toxoplasma gondii effectively blocked neoplastic growth of a
BACKGROUND
Schizophrenia is a serious mental disease of unknown aetiology. Genetic liability is the most important risk factor. Several studies have demonstrated that pre and perinatal complications/traumas are associated with an increased risk of developing schizophrenia in adult age. The purpose
This study reports the sonographic and computed tomography (CT) findings in seven infants and neonates with intracranial calcifications and a spectrum of underlying disorders, including toxoplasmosis, cytomegalic inclusion disease, transverse/straight sinus thrombosis, and probable anoxia.
The present paper describes 3 patients with congenital toxoplasmosis. The spinal cord was extremely affected. Differential diagnoses were established with poliomyelitis and neonatal hypoxia. Histopathological studies revealed toxoplasmosis.
Pulmonary infection is a frequent and serious complication following kidney transplantation. Increased susceptibility to infection is due to a decrease in the patient's immunological response caused by immunosuppression through drug administration, and by other influences. The majority of bacterial
