METHODS
Case report of a 7-month-old boy, who developed acute transverse myelitis after diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis immunization.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical course of acute transverse myelitis in an infant and to review the literature regarding the association of acute transverse myelitis
The symptomatology of different forms of diphtheria was analyzed in 49 patients under 3 year of age. It has been established that in infants, diphtheria is marked by the diversity of localizations and a fairly high portion of associated toxic diphtheria of the stomatopharynx and disseminated croup.
Cutaneous dipththeria is an infectious bacterial disease endemic in tropical regions, but rarely diagnosed in Germany. Following travel in Sri Lanka, a 60-year-old German presented to our dermatological clinic with a skin ulcer and extensive erythematous erosive edema of his left foot.
Objective: To evaluate the safety of diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis (DTaP) containing combination vaccines used in Chengdu. Methods: The AEFI reports data of DTaP vaccine, DTaP-Haemophilus influenza type b combined vaccine (DTaP-Hib) and DTaP-inactivated poliovirus-Hib
A previously healthy 19-year-old Asian female without significant past medical history presented to the emergency room complaining of a sore throat, difficulty in swallowing, fever, swollen neck, malaise, and myalgia for three to four days. The patient was initially seen at an outside hospital,
OBJECTIVE
To determine the incidence of and risk factors for electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities in adults with diphtheria.
METHODS
A prospective study was conducted involving 122 adult patients with respiratory tract diphtheria. Diphtheria was confirmed by isolation of a toxin-producing strain
Described in the article are particular characteristics of allergoses encountered in patients with different forms of diphtheria. Allergic reactions were found to be presenting as anaphylactic shock urticaria and Quincke's edema type. The studies made showed that allergic reactions in treatment of
Infections caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae frequently induce situations in which very small doses of antigens injected intradermally can cause strong inflammatory reactions. This bacterium secretes the diphtheria toxin (DT), a virulence factor that can be lethal to the human organism at doses
The development of diphtheria is characterized by a pronounced local process, but the description of local changes in the disease are based only on postmortem findings. 67 patients with different forms of diphtheria were examined. In 11 cases of descending croup bronchoscopic examination was carried
A 10-aa motif in transmembrane helix 1 of diphtheria toxin that is conserved in anthrax edema factor, anthrax lethal factor, and botulinum neurotoxin serotypes A, C, and D was identified by blast, clustal w, and meme computational analysis. Using the diphtheria toxin-related fusion protein toxin
The lethal factor (LF) and edema factor (EF) of anthrax toxin bind by means of their amino-terminal domains to protective antigen (PA) on the surface of toxin-sensitive cells and are translocated to the cytosol, where they act on intracellular targets. Genetically fusing the amino-terminal domain of
Development of novel treatments for lymphedema has been limited by the fact that the pathophysiology of this disease is poorly understood. It remains unknown, for example, why limb swelling resulting from surgical injury resolves initially, but recurs in some cases months or years later. Finding
We report the first case of myopericarditis after triple vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus, and poliovirus in a young adult. He presented with fever, acute chest pain, and diffuse ST-segment elevation 2 days after vaccination. Two-dimensional echocardiography findings were normal.
