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

Fever, skin rash, headache, and thrombocytopenia are considered hallmarks of dengue infection. However, these symptoms are frequently observed in infectious and non-infectious complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients and oncohematological patients. Thus, laboratory confirmation

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

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) on viral load and CD4 cell count during interruption of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). METHODS Patients on effective HAART (CD4 cell count > 400 x 10(6)/l; viral load < 50 HIV RNA copies/ml)

BACKGROUND Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a recently re-emerged arthropod borne virus responsible for a massive outbreak in the Indian Ocean and India, and extended to Southeast Asia as well as Italy. CHIKV has adapted to Aedes albopictus, an anthropophilic mosquito species widely distributed in Asia,

We reviewed the thirty cases of cytomegalovirus infections with occurred in previously healthy patients, hospitalised for fever from 1981 to 1992. Pregnant women, transplant recipients, HIV infected persons and all immunocompromised subjects were excluded. We observed 34 cases (18 women, 16 men)

Zika virus is an emerging mosquito-borne (Aedes genus) arbovirus of the Flaviviridae family. Following epidemics in Micronesia and French Polynesia during the past decade, more recent Zika virus infection outbreaks were first reported in South America as early as May 2013 and spread to now 50

UNASSIGNED Following emergence of Zika virus in the Americas, a devastating new congenital syndrome has been documented, leading to significant morbidity among Zika-infected fetuses and neonates. UNASSIGNED A 29-year-old pregnant woman infected with Zika virus at 9-weeks gestation in Trinidad

Acute HIV infection presents as a mononucleosis-like disease with fever, lymphadenopathy, myalgias, rash and headache. Other symptoms are occurring at lower frequency. Since acute HIV infection is associated with high viral loads it is important to diagnose patients with this entity, in order to

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. Sanofi Pasteur has developed a tetravalent dengue vaccine (TDV) against the world's most common arbovirus infection. METHODS. We assessed the safety and immunogenicity of the TDV in healthy adults randomized into 2 groups. Group 1 received 3 TDV injections at months 0, 4, and 12-15;

BACKGROUND While increasing age is a known risk factor for neuroinvasive West Nile virus (WNV) disease, little is known about risk factors for West Nile fever (WNF). In 2003, United States blood centers identified WN (West Nile) viremic donors using nucleic acid-amplification tests (NATs), making it

During 1973 and 1974, we looked for cases of Colorado tick fever throughout Colorado; 228 cases were identified. Although 90% of the patients reported exposure to ticks before illness, only 52% were aware of an actual tick bite. Typical symptoms of fever, myalgia, and headache were common, but

In the 20th century dengue fever became one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the tropics. The dengue virus is an arbovirus transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. There are four distinct serotypes of dengue arbovirus (DENV-1, 2, 3, 4). According to the World Health Organization,
