OBJECTIVE
To examine the relationship between infant and parental characteristics and parental report of infant cyanosis and also hospital admission for apnoea/cyanosis.
METHODS
A prospective cohort study was conducted. It involved the one-fifth of Tasmanian live births who were assessed, using a
Investigation of malignant hyperthermia (MH) was started in 1975; by March 1986, 79 suspected cases had been reported. In vitro contracture tests were performed in 66 probands or their parents; in 61 of these (92%), MH was confirmed and 5 (8%) proved negative. In 4 lethal crises, the parents refused
This is the first report of a case of malignant hyperthermia (MH) from Saudi Arabia. MH was probably triggered by response to Halothane. The diagnosis was suspected by the clinical signs of tachycardia, severe rigidity, cyanosis and rising temperature. The case was successfully managed by vigorous
A 15-year-old girl presented with fever and pain in her legs. A viral infection was suspected, but within 24 hours she became confused and developed meningeal signs, based on which she was diagnosed as having meningitis. Within a few hours a 6-month-old boy developed fever, a grey colour, bulging
BACKGROUND
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in full-term infants is uncommon and is a rare cause of neonatal fever. This study was conducted to estimate the incidences of ICH and fever in a hospital-based population, and to determine if the clinical features of neonatal ICH with and without
Malignant hyperthermia is one of the most devastating crises encountered in anaesthesia and it frequently occurs unexpectedly. Although malignant hyperthermia develops in young individuals (mean age approximately 22 years), older people can also be affected. The case of a 41-year-old woman with a
BACKGROUND
Spotted Fever Rickettsiosis (SFR), an acute febrile illness caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, R. conorii and R. akari which is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. SFR is one of the most covert emerging infections of the present time which is prevalent in various parts of
BACKGROUND
Dengue is an important worldwide public health problem, and continues to spread in Brazil. This article presents the first Brazilian case report of the death of an indigenous child by dengue fever.
METHODS
In August 2013, a child aged 2 years and from the Tremembé ethnic group, who was
Fever, caused by Salmonella typhi, is the cause of significant morbidity worldwide. Extraintestinal manifestations of typhoid fever can confuse clinicians in Western countries, delaying diagnosis. We present an extraordinary case of typhoid fever, manifesting as hand cyanosis as well as abducens
Febrile illness in children younger than 36 months is common and has potentially serious consequences. With the widespread use of immunizations against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae type b, the epidemiology of bacterial infections causing fever has changed. Although an
In pigs, the serotonin-2 (5-HT2) receptor agonist 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI), 0.8 mg/kg, induced "psychotic" behaviour (e.g., grimacing, backward locomotion, blank stare) and a muscular syndrome, which is known as malignant hyperthermia (MH) in pigs and humans. This syndrome
Two cases of malignant hyperthermia with different clinical courses are reported. The patients showed the classical signs of malignant hyperthermia consisting of tachycardia, tachypnoea, ocasional peripheral cyanosis, high body temperature as well as characteristic rise in serum enzymes. In one of
