During the 1974/75 lambing season numerous reports were received from various parts of the Republic of South Africa and South West Africa of severe abdominal distension in ewes after vaccination with the attenuated Rift Valley fever and/or attenuated Wesselsbron disease vaccine. The ewes were
Sixteen patients with coccidioidomycosis were treated with itraconazole for one year. Sixteen suffered from pulmonary coccidioidomycosis, two of them had associated mediastinal lesions, and one suffered from skin coccidioidomycosis. The daily dose used was 400 mg during the one-year period. Patients
In June 1993, several persons in Aswan Governorate (1993 population: 952,000) in southern Egypt sought medical care for acute loss of vision following an illness characterized by fever, headache, retro-orbital pain, and myalgias. Ophthalmologists who examined these persons noted paramacular retinal
Although many viral infections have on occasion been associated with hemorrhagic complications, infection with any of several RNA viruses regularly results in vascular involvement and the syndrome called viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF). In spite of clinically useful similarities among various VHFs,
The neurological examination findings, clinical pathology (including Coccidioides immitis IgG/IgM serology) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in 13 dogs with a novel form of intracranial coccidioidomycosis are described in a retrospective case series, with long-term clinical resolution
Acute respiratory failure caused by infection with Coccidioides immitis is a rare, usually fatal, event. We report 2 patients who survived acute respiratory failure caused by primary pulmonary coccidioidomycosis. We attribute the severity of illness to a large inoculum of organisms. Their treatment
OBJECTIVE
To report ocular complications of Rift Valley fever (RVF) during its first reported outbreak in southwest Saudi Arabia in autumn 2000.
METHODS
Cross-sectional study of patients in a referral hospital.
METHODS
One hundred forty-three consecutive patients with confirmed RVF serologic test
To our knowledge we report the first case of meningitis from Coccidioides immitis associated with massive dural and cerebral venous thrombosis and with mycelial forms of the organism in brain tissue. The patient was a 43-year-old man with late-stage acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) whose
OBJECTIVE
Coccidioides immitis is a dimorphic fungus endemic to the Southwest United States and Mexico, and at our institution, it is a relatively common pathogen presenting with a broad spectrum of associated spine diseases. We describe the various spinal manifestations resulting from coccidioidal
BACKGROUND
The present study describes the pathologic changes in the brain and the spinal cord of aborted, stillbirth and deformities of newborn lambs infected with viral agents.
METHODS
From February 2012 to March 2013, a total of 650 aborted fetuses from 793 pregnant ewes were studied from 8
Although there are notable infectious conditions that are capable of producing clinical disease in the NWC, overall, these species are quite healthy. Of the bacterial diseases, enterotoxemia caused by Clostridium perfringens types C and D would be deemed the most significant in North America, while
Coccidioidomycosis is generally a self-limited respiratory illness. The literature indicates ocular involvement is rare, usually confined to the anterior segment and adnexa. Ten consecutive patients with chronic pulmonary and disseminated disease referred for chemotherapy represent the first
A 7-year-old male llama was examined for a 3-month history of weight loss, and unilateral keratouveitis. Clinical examination revealed nonulcerative corneal stromal abscessation, corneal vascularization, corneal edema, miosis, posterior synechia, cataract, and fibrin in the anterior chamber of the
Known as "Valley Fever," coccidiomycosis is a soil-borne, fungal infection predominately found in endemic regions of the southwestern United States and Latin America. While most infected individuals are asymptomatic, <1% of patients have hematogenous seeding of bone, skin, and soft tissue. When the
