Bilaterale Nierenrindennekrosen im Rahmen eines Sanarelli-Shwartzman-Ph�nomens nach Pneumokokkenmeningitis bei chronisch-essentieller Erythroblastope…
1966
Es wird uber den Verlauf einer chronisch-essentiellen Erythroblastopenie (sog. Blackfan-Diamond-Anamie) bei einem 4 Jahre, 11 Monate alten Madchen berichtet. Dabei erweckten die lange Verlaufsdauer, die Therapie sowie deren Komplikationen besonderes Interesse, wobei wir der interkurrenten Meningokokken-Meningitis sowie der todlichen Pneumokokkenmeningitis in Verbindung mit Anurie, hamorrhagischer Diathese und Kreislaufkollaps besondere Bedeutung beimasen. Pathologisch-anatomisch wurden Organveranderungen gefunden, die sich einem Sanarelli-Shwartzman-Phanomen zuordnen liesen. Dabei standen bilaterale Nierenrindennekrosen, die Verstopfung kleiner Nierenrindengefase sowie der Glomeruluscapilla…
Neurological deficits like CVA, Trigeminal neuralgia, Post herpetic neuralgia, Meningitis, Cervical Myelopathy, Demyelinating Disease, Acoustic Neuro…
2018
Patients and methods. A total number of 35 patients with neurological deficits, like cerebrovascular accident (CVA), trigeminal neuralgia, post herpetic neuralgia, meningitis, cervical myelopathy, demyelinating disease, acoustic neuroma, muscular neuropathy and parkinsonism were treated with ozone therapy in our institution. Results. Group 1) Hemorrhagic - 6 patients Group 2) Ischemic - 29 Patients Both the groups showed improvement varying from 20% to 100%: • Hemorrhagic patients took more time for improvement as compare to ischemic group. • Hemorrhagic patients showed partial recovery. • Ischemic group showed almost 90% - 100% recovery. Patients who received ozone therapy after 12 months …
Postlumbar Puncture Headache Syndrome
2003
Publisher Summary This chapter presents a study on acute and chronic pain related to postlumbar puncture headache syndrome. The symptoms of the postlumbar puncture headache (PLPH) syndrome are positional, beginning in the upright posture and subsiding or improving when the patient reclines. Sometimes symptoms of PLPH occur spontaneously without a detectable dural defect. In these instances, suggested causes include a hyperactive resorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or a spontaneous mechanical dural hole. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans in patients with intracranial hypotension—either after LP or spontaneously—show meningeal enhancement, subdural effusions, and downward brain displ…
Invazīva pneimokoku slimība universitātes slimnīcā Latvijā
2018
Ievads: Streptokokus pneimonija ir gram pozitīva alfa hemolītiska baktērija. Šī baktērija ir visbiežākais ierosinātājs sadzīves pneimonijai, bet tā var arī izpausties ar sepsi vai meningītu. Galvenais riska faktors invazīvai slimībai ir imūnsupresija, hroniska slimība, vecums, pārmērīga alkohola lietošana vai narkotiku lietošana un splenektomija. Serotipiskas specifiskas vakcīnas ir pieejamas un rekomendējamas augsta riska pacientiem. Darba Mērķis: Pētījuma mērķis bija raksturot invazīvo pneimokoka slimību pacientiem, kuri tika ārstēti Paula Stradiņa Klīniskā Universitātes Slimnīcā. Materiāli un Metodes: Tika izmantota Slimnīcas Mikrobioloģiskā Datubāze un Pacientu Klīniskās Vēstures, lai i…
Untersuchungen zur Bedeutung der Frühsommer-Meningoenzephalitis in Rheinland-Pfalz
2002
Within the scope of a prospective clinical study during 2001 in Rhineland-Palatinate specimen from sera and cerebrospinal fluids of 163 patients with suspected meningitis were controlled in an enzyme immunoassay concerning a TBE infection. Questionable results were checked via a neutralisation test. In no case such an infection was confirmed. No virus specific nucleic acids could be detected in 998 nymphs and adults of Ixodes ricinus in an additional investigation in 2000. Therefore Rhineland-Palatinate has to be considered as a region with low virus prevalence. A general recommendation for vaccination is not necessary.
Clinical, immunological, and molecular analysis in a large cohort of patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia: an Italian multicenter study
2002
A questionnaire-based retrospective clinical and immunological survey was conducted in 73 males with a definite diagnosis of X-linked agammaglobulinemia based on BTK sequence analysis. Forty-four were sporadic and 29 familial cases. At December 2000, the patients' ages ranged from 2 to 33 years; mean age at diagnosis and mean duration of follow-up were 3.5 and 10 years respectively. After the mid-1980s all but 2 were on intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) substitution therapy, with residual IgG >500 mg/dl in 94% of the patients at the time of enrollment. Respiratory infections were the most frequent manifestation both prior to diagnosis and over follow-up. Chronic lung disease (CLD) was prese…
Complement C1q and C8beta deficiency in an individual with recurrent bacterial meningitis and adult-onset systemic lupus erythematosus-like illness.

Co-existing complement C8 deficiency ameliorated the SLE associated with C1q deficiency.
Cerebrospinal fluid pharmacokinetics of ceftaroline in neurosurgical patients with an external ventricular drain
2019
IF 5.217; International audience; BackgroundOwing to its antibacterial properties, ceftaroline could be attractive for prevention or treatment of bacterial post-neurosurgical meningitis/ventriculitis. However, few data are available concerning its meningeal concentrations.ObjectivesTo investigate ceftaroline CSF pharmacokinetics in ICU patients with an external ventricular drain (EVD).MethodsPatients received a single 600 mg dose of ceftaroline as a 1 h intravenous infusion. Blood and CSF samples were collected before and 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h after the end of the infusion. Concentrations were assayed in plasma and CSF by LC–MS/MS. A two-step compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis was c…
Heterogeneity in the genetic basis of human complement C9 deficiency

Two versus three doses of a meningococcal C conjugate vaccine concomitantly administered with a hexavalent DTaP-IPV-HBV/Hib vaccine in healthy infant…
2007
The immunogenicity and reactogenicity of a meningococcal serogroup C (MenC) conjugate vaccine given concomitantly with DTaP-IPV-HBV/Hib vaccine according to a two- or three-dose schedule in healthy infants was evaluated. At 1 month post-vaccination, 98% (two doses) and 100% (three doses) of subjects had serum bactericidal antibody using human complement assay (hSBA) titres > or =1:8; at 12 months of age > or =89% of subjects in each group remained seroprotected. Induction of immunological memory, as evaluated by administration of a meningococcal serogroup A/C polysaccharide vaccine challenge dose, was similar for both regimens and no interference was observed in the immune response to MenC …
