anaphylaxis/fever

BACKGROUND There are very few reports of anaphylactic reactions to yellow fever (YF) vaccine in the literature, and these date from the 1940s. OBJECTIVE We sought to estimate the rate of YF vaccine-related anaphylaxis. METHODS All reports of adverse reactions to YF vaccine submitted to the Vaccine

Previous studies have shown that hyperthermia pretreatment results in an attenuation of increased vascular leakage in rats subjected to experimental anaphylactic shock. It is known that both nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) play a role in the maintenance of microvascular

OBJECTIVE The Food and Drug Administration's Mini-Sentinel pilot program aims to conduct active surveillance to refine safety signals that emerge for marketed medical products. A key facet of this surveillance is to develop and understand the validity of algorithms for identifying health outcomes of

Systemic anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction and its pathologic conditions, such as edema, bronchospasm, and hypotension, have been attributed to release of vasoactive mediators. Heat shock protein (HSP) is known to play a protective role in living cells under various stresses. In

OBJECTIVE To report three cases of life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions to the oral administration of ciprofloxacin. METHODS Life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions to oral ciprofloxacin, characterized by diffuse, erythematous, nonpruritic, blanching rash, with fever and hypotension,

OBJECTIVE To identify the rate of serious adverse events attributable to yellow fever vaccination with 17D and 17DD strains reported in active and passive surveillance data. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of published literature on adverse events associated with yellow fever. We searched 9

BACKGROUND Transfusion-associated anaphylaxis has been associated with anti-immunoglobulin A (anti-IgA) of IgG class in patients with IgA deficiency. In recent years, however, the frequency and clinical impact of this syndrome has been questioned. We present a case of recurrent red blood cell (RBC)

Yellow fever vaccine provides long-lasting immunity. Rare serious adverse events after vaccination include neurologic or viscerotropic syndromes or anaphylaxis. We conducted a systematic review of adverse events associated with yellow fever vaccination in vulnerable populations. Nine electronic

BACKGROUND Yellow fever (YF) vaccines have been available since the 1930s and are generally considered safe and effective. However, rare reports of serious adverse events (SAE) following vaccination have prompted the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices to periodically expand the list of

A hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. It is endemic in many areas, including New Zealand, Australia, and the Mediterranean region. Pulmonary hydatid disease can be diagnosed incidentally in asymptomatic patients or may cause symptoms such as cough,
