The changes in serum triglycerides (Tg), cholesterol and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were examined in 17 patients with viral (VM) and in 7 patients with bacterial (BM) meningitis. In VM, there were low values of cholesterol (p less than 0.001) and HDL cholesterol (p less than 0.01) on
Abnormalities in serum lipids, including hypertriglyceridemia, are common during infectious disorders. However, the lipoprotein pattern during infections, particularly in children, has been investigated to only a limited extent. We have monitored alterations in serum lipoproteins in eight children
Different parameters in CSF which are routinely investigated for the diagnosis and prognosis of neurological disorders do not provide confirmation to the type of neurological disorder. The rise in protein level in CSF was found to be nonspecific and estimation of glucose and chloride in CSF has lost
We describe the presentation, investigation and challenging management of a young adult with recurrent aseptic meningitis. The presence of cholesterol and triglycerides in the cerebrospinal fluid sample was recognised as a potential sign of an underlying dermoid or epidermoid cyst. We demonstrate
Posttransplant new-onset diabetes mellitus (NODM) is an important complication among patients receiving immunosuppressants. It has a considerable impact on chronic allograft dysfunction. Calcineurin inhibitors have been implicated in the development of posttransplant NODM. Since high-risk candidates
In order to examine the effects of platelet-activating factor (PAF) in complicated Plasmodium falciparum infections, plasma concentrations of lyso-PAF, stable metabolite and principal precursor of PAF, were measured in 25 Vietnamese adults with severe malaria. The concentration of PAF in the
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an infrequent but life-threatening disease due to excessive immune activation. Secondary HLH can be triggered by infections, autoimmune diseases, and malignant diseases. Streptococcus pneumoniae is a pathogenic bacterium responsible for
