The IgM globulin response has been measured following the onset of primary Q fever infections. A complement fixation test method was used to measure the IgM after separation by ultracentrifugation in a sucrose density gradient. Specific IgM was demonstrable between 2 and 10 wk after onset of
Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) is a foreign protein used widely to treat aplastic anaemia (AA). Febrile reactions occurring during its administration may be impossible to distinguish clinically from fever due to sepsis, and are therefore routinely treated with intravenous antibiotics after collection
Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a potentially lethal complication of mosquito borne viral disease, Dengue Fever. Thrombocytopenia is a constant finding in DHF/Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). We report two cases that fulfilled the WHO criteria of DSS: high fever, positive tourniquet test, severe
To assess whether immune globulin may be administered concurrently with trivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) or yellow fever vaccine, antibody responses were studied in Peace Corps volunteers embarking for overseas duty in 1978. Of 200 volunteers who received OPV, 192 (96%) had pre-existing
Twenty-two cases of pyrexial illness which occurred amongst workers in a country abattoir were investigated retrospectively for Q fever, brucellosis, and leptospirosis. In 18, the illness was shown to be Q fever. No diagnoses were established for the other four. The demonstration of circulating
Severe thrombocytopenia and increased vascular permeability are two major characteristics of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). An immune mechanism of thrombocytopenia due to increased platelet destruction appears to be operative in patients with DHF (see Saito et al., 2004, Clin Exp Immunol 138:
BACKGROUND
Limited data are available on the incidence and characteristics of culture-negative fever following pancreas transplantation (PTx) with anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) induction. Our study aims to better define the features of culture-negative fever, so it can be delineated from infectious
OBJECTIVE
To determine differences in clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, and cardiac complications between patients with acute Kawasaki disease who received additional treatment for persistent or recurrent fever vs those who did not.
METHODS
Nonconcurrent case series; medical record
To determine risk factors for postoperative fever (POF) after retrograding intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and a nomogram for prediction of POF in patients undertaking RIRS has been developed based on the risk factors found.This is a retrospective designed-study.
Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a potentially lethal complication of dengue fever due to shock and/or bleeding. Bleeding in DHF is due to thrombocytopenia and/or coagulopathy. The authors present their experience of usage of intravenous anti-D in 5 children with DHF and severe refractory
BACKGROUND
Cardiac involvement was the major leading cause of death in patients with Kawasaki and IVIG administration reduces cardiac complications. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of cardiovascular complications and duration of fever with regard to the time of intravenous
We evaluated whether coadministration of the yellow fever (YF) virus vaccine with human immunoglobulin (Ig) that contained YF virus-neutralizing antibodies would reduce post-vaccination viremia without compromising immunogenicity and thus, potentially mitigate YF vaccine-associated adverse events.
