Seizures have been reported frequently in feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) but have not been studied in detail in association with this disease. The purpose of this study was to perform a retrospective analysis of neurological signs in a population of 55 cats with a histopathologically confirmed
Appendicitis and convulsions are two common pathologies among children. Though appendicitis has some certain symptoms, they might present with atypical symptoms in young ages. Here we present a misleading case of a perforated appendix that presented with severe generalized convulsion, no significant
A 4-month-old female entire domestic shorthair cat presented with an acute onset of blindness, tetraparesis and subsequent generalised seizure activity. Haematology and serum biochemistry demonstrated a moderate, poorly regenerative anaemia, hypoalbuminaemia and hyperglobulinaemia with a low
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is a severe and life-threatening complication in patients with ascites caused by advanced liver disease. The organisms most commonly involved are coliform bacteria and third-generation cephalosporins are the empiric antibiotics of choice. This is an uncommon case of
We report on seizures during anesthesia induction in animals treated with a cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) antagonist for experimental sepsis. Animals received surgery for colon ascendens stent peritonitis-induced sepsis or sham surgery followed by treatment of CB1R antagonist, CB1R agonist, or
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of seizures associated with slow infusion (1-2 h) of alatrofloxacin, the prodrug of trovafloxacin.
METHODS
A 37-year-old Asian man was admitted to the hospital for a distal pancreatectomy and drainage of a pseudocyst. Postoperative complications developed, which included
Magnesium (Mg) is the fourth most abundant cation in the body and plays a key role in numerous cellular functions such as glycolysis and energy metabolism. Its deficit may cause gastrointestinal disturbances, cardiovascular and neurological diseases. Among the latter, the symptoms may range from
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a progressive, fatal, predominantly Arthus-type immune-mediated disease that is triggered when cats are infected with a mutant enteric coronavirus. The disease presents variably with multiple organ failure, seizures, generalized effusion, or shock. Neurological
CAPD peritonitis is most commonly due to gram positive infection. Gram negative bacillary infection is less frequent but is often seen in hospitalized patients or in those on antibiotics. Weeksella virosa (formerly known as Flavobacterium II F) has been isolated from the vaginal secretions and urine
Spontaneous Listeria peritonitis is well described in liver failure, but is uncommon in peritoneal dialysis patients. Atypical cases where peritonitis symptoms develop after systemic manifestations are rare and challenging for diagnostic. A 57-year-old peritoneal dialysis patient with history of
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), a widely used replacement therapy for end stage renal failure, is frequently complicated by bacterial peritonitis. The infecting organisms are mainly staphylococci and gram negative aerobes. Pefloxacin is a fluorinated quinolone with good in-vitro
Fluoroquinolones are potentially useful agents in the treatment of CAPD peritonitis, due to their wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity, favourable pharmacokinetics, oral availability and their relatively low toxicity. The microbiological, pharmacokinetic, and clinical aspects of these drugs in
An 86-year-old woman who had been treated for tuberculous peritonitis and pulmonary tuberculosis, exhibited a disturbance of consciousness and tonic-clonic convulsions seven days after the administration of the antituberculous drug isoniazid. As her serum vitamin B6 level was remarkably low, she was
OBJECTIVE
To present a new case of sclerosing peritonitis associated with bilateral luteinized thecoma of the ovaries, linked to anticonvulsant therapy.
METHODS
A 22-year-old patient, receiving carbamazepine for seizures and anxiety attacks presented with shortness of breath, abdominal pain, nausea
Imipenem/cilastatin is a new thienamycin antibiotic with a broad bactericidal spectrum. We undertook a prospective randomised study to compare the safety and efficacy of intraperitoneal (IP) imipenem/cilastatin (2 gm daily) [group A; 21 patients, mean age 49.2 years] with a combination of IP
