Reported here are two siblings with sudanophilic leukodystrophy occurring in early infancy. Soon after birth, high fever, distension of the abdomen and spasticity of the extremities were noted. Neurologic disorders, frequent convulsive seizures, and malnutrition caused both siblings to die at the
The epitope-G1 gene, cloned from the pMD-G plasmid including G protein gene of bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV), was subcloned into expression vector pGEX-4T-1 to construct pGEX-G1 recombinant plasmid successfully. The pGEX-G1 was transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) to be induced with IPTG. The
A 2 year old girl develops a fever, anorexia and a cough which last three weeks. Following this event, she presented with intention tremor and increasing difficulty with crawling. At the age of 3, a nerve biopsy was done which made the diagnosis of metachromatic leukodystrophy. EM examination of the
Clinical and biochemical findings in a male subject with progressive encephalopathy and peripheral neuropathy are presented. Early development was normal. At age 3.5 years, he had seizures associated with fever. Subsequently, there was progressive neurologic deterioration. A CT brain scan at age 4
Torticollis results from various pathological mechanisms, and its elucidation depends on identifying diseases of musculoskeletal, neural and ocular tissues. This study characterized the underlying diseases of children hospitalized with torticollis, excluding congenital torticollis. Records of 36
OBJECTIVE
The authors sought to investigate the clinical features and characteristics of genetic mutation in patients with aspartylglucosaminuria.
METHODS
Clinical data of two pediatric siblings in a family were analyzed retrospectively and relative literature was reviewed in order to study the
BACKGROUND
Malaria case management is a key strategy for malaria control. Effective coverage of parasite-based malaria diagnosis (PMD) remains limited in malaria endemic countries. This study assessed the health system's capacity to absorb PMD at primary health care facilities in Uganda.
METHODS
In
A new leukoencephalopathy, the CACH syndrome (Childhood Ataxia with Central nervous system Hypomyelination) or VWM (Vanishing White Matter) was identified on clinical and MRI criteria. Classically, this disease is characterized by (1) an onset between 2 and 5 years of age, with a cerebello-spastic
Use of topical insect repellent is an important component in prophylaxis of arthropod bite vector borne diseases. Topical insect repellent are used in a three part management regimen, along with impregnated clothing and mosquito netting. Parental training for efficacious and secure use of repellents
BACKGROUND
Mosquitoes are the dominant vectors of pathogens that cause infectious diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever and filariasis. Current vector control strategies often rely on the use of pyrethroids against which mosquitoes are increasingly developing resistance. Here, a push-pull
Mosquito repellents are used around the globe to protect against nuisance biting and disease-transmitting mosquitoes. Recently, there has been renewed interest in the development of repellents as tools to control the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. We present a new bioassay for the accurate
Bites Bites of mosquitoes belonging to the genera Anopheles Meigen, Aedes Meigen, Culex L. and Haemagogus L. are a general nuisance and are responsible for the transmission of important tropical diseases such as malaria, hemorrhagic dengue and yellow fevers and filariasis (elephantiasis). Plants are
