encephalomyelitis/vomiting

One coronavirus strain was isolated from brain tissues of ten piglets with evident clinical manifestations of vomiting, diarrhea and dyskinesia in Jilin province in China. Antigenic and genomic characterizations of the virus (isolate PHEV-JLsp09) were based on multiplex PCR and negative staining

Multiple sclerosis and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis are demyelinating disorders of the central nervous system that can present initially as an acute focal demyelinating syndrome. We report an 11-year-old girl who initially presented with intractable vomiting and hypertension and later

The pathogenicity of hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus isolated from the brain of each of 5 pigs with clinical signs and microscopic lesions of encephalomyelitis (1 pig from each of 5 naturally infected herbs) was tested under experimental conditions. Each isolant was administered

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency, etiology (viral infection or vaccination), presenting signs and symptoms, response to therapy, complication and course of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) in our hospitals. METHODS A 2-year retrospective, descriptive, chart review of children with

We report a case of a 14-year-old girl that presented headache, amaurosis, drowsiness, fever, vomiting and diffuse reduction of muscle strength. She had been diagnosed with ADEM one year before and had a previous diagnosis of Toll-Like 3 receptor deficiency. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed

BACKGROUND Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADE) is an inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system that is mediated immunologically and of unknown pathogenesis. It can present at any age, but is much more frequent in children. ADE has no specific biological marker and diagnosis is based

We report a case of multiphasic disseminated encephalomyelitis (MDEM) following viral illness presenting as multiple sclerosis (MS) in a 7-year-old boy. The patients had two episodes of alternating hemiparesis and other neurologic symptoms following viral infection, which were separated by 3 years.

Nine patients below 20 years of age (4 males and 5 females), who were diagnosed to have acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) by clinical findings and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), were reviewed retrospectively. They ranged from 4 months to 20 years of age with an average of 8.6 years.

The medical records of 52 consecutive patients diagnosed with postinfectious encephalitis/encephalomyelitis during the period from 1980 to 1998, including 29 males and 23 females, were reviewed. These patients were divided into three groups according to their clinical and neurodiagnostic

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

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a demyelinating disease showing multifocal central nervous system lesions due to an autoimmune disorder. We reported a 3-month-old girl with ADEM. One week after having a cold, she presented with somnolence, poor feeding and vomiting. When she was

Porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (PHEV) is a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus. PHEV mainly causes two types of clinical manifestations representing vomiting and wasting and encephalomyelitis in piglets. However, our recent findings provide strong evidence that PHEV can also

The patient is a 10-year-old male who experienced somnolence and incomplete quadriplegia after headache and vomiting, without exanthema, for 3 days. The clinical course and magnetic resonance imaging findings of the brain and spinal cord were compatible with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. The

We describe an outbreak of vomiting, wasting, and encephalomyelitis syndrome in piglets in Argentina, caused by porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis coronavirus (PHE-CoV) infection. Diagnosis was made by epidemiologic factors, pathologic features, immunohistochemistry, reverse
