viremia/nausea

The authors report the clinical, laboratorial and epidemiological aspects of a human case of jungle yellow fever. The patient suffered from fever, chills, sweating, headaches, backaches, myalgia, epigastric pains, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and prostration. He was unvaccinated and had been working

BACKGROUND Patients seropositive for cytomegalovirus (CMV) and undergoing allogeneic haemopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HCT) are at risk for CMV reactivation. Stimulating viral immunity by vaccination might achieve CMV viraemia control without the need for antiviral agents. CMVPepVax is a

To determine whether some constitutional symptoms of influenza, such as headache, myalgia and nausea, could represent a viral infection of brain, muscle, and liver, we inoculated juvenile Balb/c mice intranasally with 103 plaque forming units of influenza B/Lee virus. Blood, brain, liver, skeletal

This report describes a case of yellow fever vaccine-associated viscerotropic disease (YEL-AVD) that occurred after vaccination in a 22-year-old female. Our patient presented with a clinical syndrome of fever, headache, nausea, and vomiting, which quickly progressed to multiorgan failure and

BACKGROUND Ritonavir is a potent inhibitor in vitro of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease, which is needed for virions to mature and become infective. We assessed the safety and efficacy of ritonavir in patients with HIV-1 infection. METHODS We administered ritonavir orally to 62

Viral hepatitides are common diseases of modern man in both industrialized and developing countries, with a varying prevalence of particular types and mode of transmission. In current medicine, viral hepatitides are classified in the A-E nomenclature, differentiating viruses that can be

The prevalence of self-reported gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and distress is high, but few studies have quantified their impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We conducted a prospective cohort study of patients with HIV in care in Ontario, Canada (2007-2014). General linear mixed

OBJECTIVE Evaluation of high active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) patients receiving combined antiretroviral therapy in China. METHODS We initiated the first efficacy trial of zidovudine (AZT) 600 mg/d and lamivudine

BACKGROUND Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a rare but potentially lethal complication encountered in solid organ and bone marrow transplant recipients, requiring rapid recognition, diagnosis, and initiation of therapy. Several potential causes have been identified in this setting, including

Licensure of medical countermeasure vaccines to protect against aerosolized Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) requires the use of the Animal Rule to assess vaccine efficacy, because human studies are not feasible or ethical. We therefore performed a retrospective study of VEE cases that

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in renal transplant recipients can present as asymptomatic viremia or CMV syndrome or, in more severe cases, as tissue-invasive disease. CMV enteritis, a common manifestation of CMV invasive disease, usually presents with fever, abdominal pain, anorexia, nausea, and

At the current epidemic stage, characterized by the rise of antiretroviral drug resistance, it is necessary to administer to HIV-positive patients increasingly effective treatments. This is possible only by means of powerful drugs. In a retrospective study, the authors evaluate 78 patients: 76

Incomplete suppression of hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication with persistence of minimal viremia (partial virologic response) leading to treatment failure can be observed in a significant proportion of HCV type 1-infected patients during antiviral therapy. Recently, high-dose intravenous silibinin

Twenty-four patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV), antibody to hepatitis B e antigen (anti-HBe), HBV DNA positivity, and alanine transaminase (ALT) elevation who failed previous interferon alfa (IFN-alpha) therapy were included in a pilot study of combination therapy with ribavirin and
