reticulocytosis/fever

Clinical features, laboratory findings, and complications of typhoid fever were correlated with sex through a retrospective case note review of 102 hospitalized culture-positive patients in Durban, South Africa. Intestinal perforation (P = 0.04), occult blood losses in stools (P = 0.04), and a mild

An exercise-induced malignant hyperthermia-like syndrome developed in an English Springer Spaniel. Moderate exercise resulted in pronounced hyperlactacidemia, dyspnea, and hyperthermia. Before exercise, the dog had high activities of serum muscle enzymes, mild reticulocytosis, abnormally increased

Examinations were made on erythrocytes, thrombocytes, leukocytes, lymph nodes, thymus, haemal nodes and bone marrow in field cases of East Coast Fever (ECF) in Tanzania. Seventy-six clinically sick short-horn Zebu and Taurine-Zebu crosses, positive for Theileria parva piroplasms and schizonts and 55

OBJECTIVE To describe the pharmacokinetic profiles of six different dosing regimens for epoetin alfa, and whether more rapid and robust reticulocytosis can be elicited with more frequent administration of epoetin alfa in anemic critically ill patients. METHODS Randomized, open-label, multicenter,

Twenty adult mongrel dogs of both sexes were used. Ten of the dogs were splenectomised and the remaining dogs were left intact. Five dogs each from the splenectomised and non-splenectomised (intact) animals were infected intravenously with Trypanosoma brucei brucei while the rest served as

We diagnosed infections from human parvovirus B19 in three patients by using dot-blot hybridization and a polymerase chain reaction to detect B19 DNA and using an enzyme immunoassay to detect IgG and IgM to B19. For 5 months a 5-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission had anemia

Eighteen patients with a variety of refractory solid tumors received infusions of IgM class monoclonal antibody directed against tumor surface antigen and raised in a nonviral transformed human-human system. Three other patients with refractory hematologic or solid tumors had autologous marrow
