The mortality associated with influenza A virus (IAV) is often due to the development of secondary bacterial infections known as superinfections. The group A streptococcus (GAS) is a relatively uncommon cause of IAV superinfections, but the mortality of these infections is high. We used a murine
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effect of hepatitis E virus (HEV) superinfection on hepatic lesion and hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
METHODS
Totally 122 patients with CHB were enrolled in this study. They were tested for anti-HEV IgM and IgG in serum,
Receptors for polymerized human albumin are found at high titres during high-level hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication and in small amounts in chronic low-level infection. Complexes between hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and IgM without specificity for HbsAg are expressed in a pattern similar
The clinical impact of GB virus-C (GBV-C)/hepatitis G virus (HGV) infection on various causes of acute hepatitis and fulminant hepatitis is controversial. In this study, serum samples from 164 patients with acute hepatitis of various causes, 34 asymptomatic hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers, and 34
Histopathological studies of the lung conducted during multiple organ procurement from 25 subjects in a state of brain death showed that 19 of them had lung lesions pre-existent to coma, viz. alveolitis and lung invasion by dusts increasing with the subject's age. Alveolar or interstitial emphysema
The activities of cefotaxime and other aminothiazoyl oxime cephalosporins against Enterococcus faecalis were enhanced by addition of 5% sheep blood to Mueller-Hinton agar. This effect was not seen with aztreonam (aminothiazoyl oxime monobactam), cefotiam (aminothiazoyl, nonoxime), or other
Nephrotoxicity frequently complicates the use of aminoglycosides in severely compromised acute care patients. Therefore, an open clinical trial was initiated to determine if cefmenoxime alone is useful in serious nosocomial pneumonias. Thirty consecutive patients were entered in the trial, and 28
Nephrotoxicity frequently complicates the use of aminoglycosides in severely compromised acute care patients. Therefore, we initiated an open clinical trial to determine if cefmenoxime alone is useful for serious Gram-negative pneumonias in this population. Thirty consecutive patients were studied.
Seventy one patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis who died during the past 5 years (1989 to 1993) were evaluated on their causes of death. Twenty two patients (31%) died directly of tuberculosis, and among them, 18 patients (81%) of 22 patients who died of tuberculosis) had very advanced
BACKGROUND
The natural history of infection with hepatitis E virus (HEV) in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) is not well described. Our study aims to document the presentation, course and outcome of HEV superinfection in patients with CLD.
METHODS
Over an 18-month period, ten patients with
OBJECTIVE
To investigate clinical features of the patients with hepatitis B superinfected with acute hepatitis E (AHE).
METHODS
Totally 625 consecutive patients enrolled from Dec 2002 to Dec 2006 were studied retrospectively. All of the patients were subclassified into acute hepatitis E group
During investigations for cystic fibrosis, 41 children, most of whom were aged 0 to 7 years, were submitted to lung scintigraphy with technetium 99m first and xenon 133 subsequently. This procedure ensured accurate location of pulmonary lesions. The reliability of the radio-isotopic study was
In a prospective study of 245 patients with community-acquired pneumonia, the respiratory tract of 93 patients (38%) became colonized during hospitalization. Gram-negative rods and Candida spp. predominated, and in more than 75% of cases colonization occurred within 72 h after admission.
The impact of transfusion-transmitted virus (TTV) infection on acute fulminant and non-fulminant hepatitis is unclear. In this study, serum samples from 164 patients with acute hepatitis of various aetiologies, from 34 asymptomatic hepatitis B virus carriers and from 202 healthy adults were tested
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is a major cause of morbidity in endemic areas. Its consequences among chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients have been under-reported. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of superinfective HEV infection (acute and past) on virological and clinical features
