Three male German Shepherd Dog pups were treated for vaccination-induced hematomas. Coagulation tests in 2 of these pups revealed markedly prolonged activated partial thromboplastin times, whereas specific coagulation factor tests revealed severe deficiency of factor IX activity. Investigation of
Acquired hemophilia B is a rare bleeding disorder in which circulating specific antibodies inhibit the coagulation factors. Usually, it is associated with autoimmune diseases, malignancy and some infections such as hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) viruses. The association with the human
A 36-year-old man had chronic, debilitating diarrhea due to cryptosporidiosis. This patient had longstanding common variable hypogammaglobulinemia and recurrent bacterial infections. Immunologic evaluation after discovery of Cryptosporidium showed lymphopenia with persistently reduced numbers of
One hundred fifty-eight hemophilia A, B, and von Willebrand disease (VWD) patients treated with clotting factor concentrates from a single manufacturer were tested for antibody to the human T-lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III). Antibody was detected in 63% and 40% of those with severe hemophilia
We report a case of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) complicated by disseminated CMV infection and neurological disturbance. A 21 years old male with hemophilia A was diagnosed as having AIDS in Feb. 1986 because of interstitial pneumonia and esophageal candidiasis. Since Jan. 1987 he had
A 24-year-old man with AIDS and hemophilia A had intractable diarrhea and fever. Upon examination of stool and of a sigmoidal biopsy specimen, cryptosporidium was revealed. Approximately 2 months after admission, respiratory infection with hypoxia due to cryptosporidium developed. Paromomycin
BACKGROUND
The significance of ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif-13) activity for diagnosis and therapy of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is still a controversial issue.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this report was to
A 28-year-old hemophilia A patient was admitted to our hospital in July, 1991 because of high fever, chronic diarrhea and anemia. The patient had been recognized as a asymptomatic carrier of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in 1985 and had developed Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and had been
Hemorrhagic diseases are common in dogs. Current coagulation assays do not model all aspects of in vivo hemostasis and may not predict bleeding risk. The Total-Thrombus Analysis System (T-TAS) is a novel hemostasis assay system in which whole blood flows through microfluidic channels at
A 69-year-old man, with hepatits C virus-related liver cirrhosis and hemophilia B, developed massive ascites and watery diarrhea after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy for esophageal varices. A multi detector row computed tomography revealed a superior mesenteric venous thrombus without bowel
Campylobacter jejuni is a common enteric pathogen in healthy individuals and in patients with AIDS. It usually causes a self-limited diarrheal illness with fever and abdominal pain. We report what we believe is a unique case of C. jejuni osteomyelitis in a 60-year-old man who had hemophilia A, AIDS,
AIDS is an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome defined by a severe depletion of T cells and over 20 conventional degenerative and neoplastic diseases. In the U.S. and Europe, AIDS correlates to 95% with risk factors, such as about 8 years of promiscuous male homosexuality, intravenous drug use, or
