BACKGROUND
Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common infection with limited treatment options. Vertical transmission can lead to fetal death or long-term neurologic injury. We present a case wherein fetal hydrops resolved after maternal and fetal intravenous administration of CMV hyperimmune
Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema (NCPE) is a clinical syndrome characterized by simultaneous presence of severe hypoxemia, bilateral alveolar infiltrates on chest radiograph, without evidence of left atrial hypertension/congestive heart failure/fluid overload. The diagnosis of drugrelated NCPE relies
As the incidence of Rh-isoimmunization has been decreasing with the availability of Rh immune globulin, the proportion of cases of fetal hydrops from nonimmune causes has increased. Evaluation of the fetus with hydrops requires an integrated approach, beginning with targeted ultrasound evaluation
Fetal hydrops (hydrops fetalis) remains a significant cause of fetal and neonatal mortality. The decreased incidence of rhesus iso-immunisation due to prophylaxis with rhesus immune globulin (anti-D), improved antenatal ultrasound screening, and advances in neonatal intensive care have greatly
The authors report a 40-year-old Caucasian man with relapsing muscle and skin involvement of dermatomyositis treated with high-dose corticosteroids, taken orally, and methotrexate and human gamma globulin, both administered intravenously. After 4 months of aggressive treatment, he presented with
Kawasaki disease is an acute, febrile, systemic syndrome of unknown etiology which principally affects young children. We present a five-year-old boy, who developed an unusual finding, acute hydrops of the gallbladder, in addition to the characteristic signs and symptoms of Kawasaki disease.
Since the introduction of anti-D gamma-globulin prophylaxis non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) has become the relevant and more common form of fetal hydrops. A case of an NIHF with chylothorax, diagnosed in the 36th week of pregnancy, is discussed with regard to obstetrical and neonatological
To see whether antihistamines could prevent and reverse histamine-induced pulmonary edema and increased lung vascular permeability, we compared the effects of a 4-h intravenous infusion of 4 mug/kg per min histamine phosphate on pulmonary hemodynamics, lung lymph flow, lymph and plasma protein
The rivanol precipitation was used to obtain beta-globulin fractions from specific swine sera against edema disease, paratyph and Aujeszky's disease as well as from normal ovine and swine sera. Agar electrophoresis revealed that the preparations produced contained beta-globulin (86 per cent),
Simulation of toxic brain edema-swelling allowed one to analyze the dynamics of blood protein alteration in presence of various neuroleptics. Alterations in blood protein fractions correlated with dynamics of nervous tissue impairments. All the drugs studied exhibited similar antiswelling action
