encephalomyelitis/fever

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is an acute inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the cenrtral nervous system and patients usually present with signs of meningitis, depressed levels of consciousness, disorientation and/or motor or sensory deficits, depending on the affected sites. We present

The effect of inoculation of mosquito larvae with Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus on survival to the adult stage was evaluated in Aedes aegypti (L.), Ae. fowleri (Charmoy), Ae. mcintoshi Huang, Ae. taeniorhynchus (Wiedemann), Ae. triseriatus (Say), Eretmapodites quinquevittatus Theobald, Anopheles

In experimental yellow fever virus encephalomyelitis of adult albino mice, the occurrence of intranuclear inclusions within nerve cells, in particular, within spinal and bulbar motoneurons, is a constant finding. The light microscopic features of these so-called neuronal Torres bodies correspond

Dengue infection, caused by a flavivirus is endemic in more than hundred countries, mostly in the developing world. Recent observations indicate that the clinical profile of dengue is changing, and that atypical manifestations are being reported more frequently. The exact incidence of various

BACKGROUND Fever of unknown origin (FUO) can be defined as a body temperature higher than 38.3°C on several occasions over more than 3 weeks, the diagnosis of which remains uncertain after 1 week of evaluation. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a demyelinating autoimmune neuropathic condition characterized by extensive bilateral and confluent lesions in the cerebral white matter and cerebellum. The basal ganglia and gray matter may also be involved. In most cases, the symptoms are preceded by

An 8-year-old boy developed acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, 2 weeks after an episode of acute rheumatic fever. The disease was succesfully treated with high-dose methylprednisolone. A wide range of neurologic disorders is associated with streptococcal disease. Poststreptococcal acute

Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes with a clinical spectrum that ranges from asymptomatic infection to dengue shock syndrome. Neurologic manifestations are rare. We report a case of dengue fever presented with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. An 18-year-old boy

A58-year-old man suffered from acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) after dengue fever. ADEM has not been described as the cause of neurological complications in dengue fever. However, the increasing use of magnetic resonance imaging in endemic areas may help to identify ADEM as being

Dengue is the most common arboviral disease affecting many countries worldwide. With endemicity of the disease and huge burden, atypical clinical presentations occur posing high diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Emerging neurological complications in dengue fever are reported in recent past Acute

The clinical course of a five-year-old boy who developed meningeal irritation, encephalomyelitis, and optic neuritis four weeks after Streptococcus pyogenes pharyngitis is detailed. The patient responded to therapy with corticosteroids and recovered fully. Review of the literature reveals that a

The status of the various recombinant DNA and RNA-derived candidate vaccines, as well as the Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus (VEEV) replicon vaccine system against extremely hazardous viral hemorrhagic fevers, were reviewed. The VEEV-based replication-incompetent vectors offer attractive

Although acute disseminated encephalomyelitis has been observed after a variety of viral infections and an occasional bacterial infection, it has not been reported in association with rickettsial infections. Reported is a 7-year-old male with magnetic resonance images and clinical manifestations

Three calves (Nos. 1, 2 = 7 days old; No. 3 = 21 days old) were inoculated subcutaneously with virulent Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus. All calves became viremic and clinically ill, but the two 7-day-old calves were moribund and were euthanatized subsequently on post-inoculation day (PID) 3. Highest
