Penicillium marneffei infection is an endemic opportunistic infection for AIDS patients that can be found in south Asia. Fever and typical skin lesions are the most commonly seen symptoms. Our case describes an AIDS patient with Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS) presented with liver

Brucellosis in pregnant women is reported to be associated with obstetric complications (OCs), and adequate data for human brucellosis during pregnancy are largely lacking. We performed this multicenter retrospective cross-sectional study to evaluate the epidemiology, clinical course, treatment

First described in HIV-infected patients who recently initiated highly active antiretroviral therapy, the immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is best characterized as a collection of inflammatory disorders triggered by rapid resolution of immunosuppression. Treatment of IRIS is a

A semiconductor diode laser was used to cause remission of isolated presumed iris melanoma in 23 dogs. All cases presented as unilateral areas of raised iris hyperpigmentation, ranging in size from 2x 3 mm to 4x12 mm. Cases were treated using a diode laser delivery system through either an operating

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) due to Acinetobacter spp. is one of the most common infections in the intensive care unit. Hence, we performed this prospective-observational multicenter study, and described the course and outcome of the disease. This study was performed in 24 centers between

We aimed to develop a scoring system for predicting in-hospital mortality of community-acquired (CA) sepsis patients. This was a prospective, observational multicenter study performed to analyze CA sepsis among adult patients through ID-IRI (Infectious Diseases International Research Initiative) at

To our knowledge, this is the first report of an iris nodule in a case of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF). The iris nodule may be similar to the "typhus nodule" of the central nervous system reported at autopsy in patients with typhus rickettsial disease. Previous case reports of RMSF have

The ocular lesions of bovine malignant catarrhal fever were characterized in 15 naturally occurring and eight experimentally induced cases of the disease. Consistent findings included: lymphocytic vasculitis of retinal, scleral, posterior ciliary, and uveal vessels; uveitis, especially involving

Efforts in the field of anticancer therapy are increasingly focusing on the development of localized and selective treatments. Photothermal therapy (PTT) can lead to a spatially confined death of cancer cells, exploiting an increasing in temperature generated after UV-NIR irradiation of peculiar

We report the case of a 46-year-old female patient who presented with bilateral acute angle closure during the course of dengue infection. Dengue diagnosis was confirmed by serological tests. The patient had plateau iris configuration identified by ultrasound biomicroscopy. This is the second

The investigations carried out by Charlotte von Horn and Thomas deals with the potential benefits of controlled hyperthermia for improving liver graft preservation against reperfusion insult. The authors, based on well-known heat shock preconditioning strategies as an effective method to protect the

Trisomy 8 in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) plays an important role in concurrent intestinal Behçet's disease (BD) pathogenesis. Here, we reported a case of intestinal BD combined with MDS involving trisomy 8. A 48-year-old woman who has had a 20-year history of recurrent oral ulcer, perineal ulcer
