Meningitis and meningoencephalitis are neurological inflammatory diseases, and although routine diagnostics include testing of a wide range of pathogens, still in many cases, no causative agent is detected. Human parvovirus B19 (B19V), human bocaviruses 1-4 (HBoV1-4), and human parvovirus 4 (hPARV4)
In 1983, reports of antibodies in subjects with major depressive disorder (MDD) to an as-yet uncharacterized infectious agent associated with meningoencephalitis in horses and sheep led to molecular cloning of the genome of a novel, negative-stranded neurotropic virus, Borna disease virus (BDV).
BACKGROUND
The long-term prognosis of patients infected with West Nile virus is not well understood.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the patterns of physical and mental function after infection with West Nile virus and to determine factors associated with recovery.
METHODS
Longitudinal cohort
Zika fever is an acute infectious disease caused by the Zika virus (ZIKV), an RNA virus belonging to the genus Flavivirus. ZIKV can be transmitted by bites from Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus species, sexual activity, blood transfusion and from mother to fetus during pregnancy and delivery. A
Leptospirosis is a systemic infection usually producing fever with hepatorenal involvement, meningoencephalitis, and hemorrhage. In this article, we present three children between 10 and 13 years of age with leptospirosis. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize that leptospirosis is a problem in
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of acute methemoglobinemia in a patient treated with celecoxib for osteoarthritis.
METHODS
A 72-year-old African American man developed an acute confusional state (ACS) one month after receiving celecoxib for osteoarthritis of his knee joints. There was no other
A 64-year-old patient with herpetic keratouveitis was hospitalized because of fatigue, fever, headache and confusion. Three days before admittance keratouveitis was diagnosed. He reported a recent onset of aversion against meat consumption and weight loss of 11 kg over the last 4 months. Clinical
Physicians in areas with active West Nile virus (WNV) transmission should be aware that WNV infection can present as a polio-like syndrome and that the spectrum of neuromuscular signs and symptoms may range from acute flaccid paralysis in the absence of fever or meningoencephalitis to subjective
BACKGROUND
Adult-onset Still disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic inflammatory disease of unknown cause. Its symptoms usually include persistent fever, fugitive salmon-colored rash, arthritis, sore throat (not specific), but it may also lead to internal organs' involvement, which presents with
BACKGROUND
Retrospective molecular identification of Leishmania parasites in two patients with visceral leishmaniasis (VL) previously treated in Serbia was carried out. DNA was isolated from unstained bone marrow smears (BMSs) kept for 11 and 8 years. Genus-specific real-time PCR was combined with
A 25-year-old woman complaining of general fatigue, headache, high fever, and nuchal rigidity, was admitted. She was diagnosed as pneumococcal meningoencephalitis after the cell culture of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Despite the administration of vancomycin (VCM), she fell into a coma without
Q fever is a bacterial zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii, a unique intracellular coccobacillus, adapted to live within the phagolysosomes of macrophages and monocytes. It is highly infectious, with as little as one organism needed to cause clinical infection, making it an attractive organism for
Borrelia miyamotoi, a spirochete found in the hard tick Ixodes ricinus, is thought to cause relapsing fever. The disease caused by this bacterium can manifest with high fever, fatigue and other symptoms. It may also lead to central nervous system involvement with symptoms similar to
The most common neuromuscular manifestation of West Nile virus (WNV) infection is a poliomyelitis syndrome with asymmetric paralysis variably involving one (monoparesis) to four limbs (quadriparesis), with or without brainstem involvement and respiratory failure. This syndrome of acute flaccid
Borrelia miyamotoi spirochetes discovered in Ixodes persulcatus ticks in Japan, in 1994 and documented in ticks and rodents in moderate climate zone of northern hemisphere. They belong to tick-borne relapsing fever group spirochetes. Borrelia miyamotoi is an etiologic agent of B.miyamotoi disease
