glutaric acid/fever

L-2 Hydroxyglutaric aciduria is a rare metabolic disorder which is autosomal recessive in inheritance. It is characterised by the increased urinary excretion of L-2 hydroxyglutaric acid and the diagnosis is based on the increased levels of the L-2 hydroxy glutaric acid in the urine, serum & CSF.

A 2-year-old boy had acute fever, malaise, and somnolence with hepatomegaly, increased blood ammonia content (338 microM), high SGOT, low blood glucose content, and mild acidosis. A liver biopsy showed diffuse accumulation of lipid droplets in swollen hepatocytes, and abnormal urinary metabolites

Glutaric acidemias comprise different disorders resulting in an increased urinary excretion of glutaric acid. Glutaric acidemia type 1 (GA-1) is an autosomal recessive disorder of lysine, hydroxylysine, and tryptophan metabolism caused by deficiency of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase. It results in the

Glutaric aciduria type 1 (GA-1) is an autosomal recessive disorder of lysine, hydroxylysine, and tryptophan metabolism caused by deficiency of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase. It results in the accumulation of 3-hydroxyglutaric and glutaric acid. Affected patients can present with brain atrophy and

A one-year-old girl visited the hospital due to limb torsion and developmental regression for one month after hand, foot and mouth disease. At the age of 11 months, she visited a local hospital due to fever for 5 days and skin rash with frequent convulsions for 2 days and was diagnosed with severe

The biochemical hallmark of glutaric aciduria type I (GA I) due to glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency is the accumulation of glutaric acid, and to a lesser degree of 3-hydroxyglutaric and glutaconic acids. Abnormal metabolites vary from gross organic aciduria to only slightly or intermittently

Glutaric aciduria type 1 (GA1) is an autosomal recessive rare disorder caused by mutations in the GCDH gene resulting in deficiency of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase, leading to accumulation of the amino acids lysine, hydroxylysine and tryptophan and other metabolites. The phenotypic spectrum of disease

Glutaric acidemia type 1 (GA-1) is an autosomal recessive disorder of lysine, hydroxylysine, and tryptophan metabolism. Patients may present with brain atrophy, macrocephaly, and acute dystonia secondary to striatal degeneration typically triggered by an infection, fever, and/or dehydration. This

A boy aged 6 years and 3 months developed upper respiratory tract infection and pyrexia 2 months ago and was given oral administration of nimesulide by his parents according to directions. Half an hour later, the boy experienced convulsions and cardiopulmonary arrest, and emergency examination found

Traditionally, Grewia optiva is widely used for the treatment of many diseases like dysentery, fever, typhoid, diarrhea, eczema, smallpox, malaria and cough.

Shade-dried roots of G. optiva were extracted with methanol. Based
