A juvenile orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus) died after 8 days of diarrhea and vomiting. Necropsy showed petechial hemorrhages in the skin, the myocardium, and the peritoneal membranes. The lungs were hyperemic and edematous, and the liver and spleen were enlarged. Histologic changes consisted of
A previously well 11-month-old infant presented with lethargy, a blanching rash, vomiting and diarrhoea. She was diagnosed with suspected gastroenteritis and discharged. The patient deteriorated and re-presented 24 h later with lumbar puncture (LP) confirming Neisseria meningitidis. Following an
A 15-year-old girl was referred to our hospital due to fever, headache, and vomiting of 7 days duration and focal motor convulsion at the day of referral. Her clinical signs and cerebral imaging findings were found to be compatible with herpes simplex encephalitis. In spite of prompt acyclovir
BACKGROUND
Herpes simplex is a common human pathogen that has rare but severe manifestations including encephalitis.
METHODS
A 44-year-old man underwent uneventful resection of an acoustic neuroma. Postoperatively, he developed swinging pyrexia, vomiting, and episodic confusion. Analysis of
Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) is a rare complication of neurosurgical procedures but must be considered in early deterioration of the postoperative patient. This is the first report of HSE following spinal cord tumor resection. A 65-year-old woman had C2-C5 laminectomy for subtotal resection of
We report a case of a 5-year-old girl with herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) who was treated with adenine arabinoside (ara-A). The characteristic symptoms consisted of headache and vomiting followed by progressive disturbance of consciousness. CT scan revealed a translucent area in the left temporal
BACKGROUND
Herpes simplex encephalitis is the most common type of sporadic encephalitis worldwide. Frank intracerebral hemorrhage complicating the disease course in herpes simplex encephalitis patients is rare, especially cases where surgical decompression is necessary. Here, we report a previously
We prospectively studied patients with enigmatic nausea and vomiting after allogeneic marrow transplantation to define the causes of this syndrome. Fifty consecutive episodes of persistent vomiting were investigated using physical examination and laboratory tests, endoscopic biopsies and brushings,
A 52-year-old woman with a 6-year history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) developed acute abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea accompanied by hypocomplementemia. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) esophagitis and lupus enteritis were diagnosed on the basis of the results of endoscopic and
Although exceedingly rare, fulminant hepatic failure in immunocompetent patients can develop with primary or recurrent infection due to herpes simplex virus. The diagnosis is frequently obscured by the absence of mucocutaneous involvement. Elevated transaminases with leucopenia and a relatively low
A 78-year-old woman was diagnosed with bullous pemphigoid 2 months ago, and she had been treated with steroid and plasmapheresis. She developed sudden fever, vomiting, disorientation, and abnormal behavior. Diffusion weighted images and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) magnetic resonance
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is the most common cause of non-epidemic, sporadic, acute focal encephalitis in the United States. Inflammation of the vasculature makes them friable and susceptible to hemorrhage. Massive hemorrhage, though rare, can present in a delayed fashion after initiation of
BACKGROUND
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is seen throughout the world and can be treated with acyclovir. We present a case of fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) as a result of disseminated HSV infection in a pregnant patient during the second trimester.
METHODS
The medical records of a patient suffering
A boy manifested episodes of recurrent meningitis that were attributed to herpes simplex virus-2 infection. He presented no concurrent or previous history of involvement of the genitourinary system. He exhibited headaches, dizziness, photophobia, loss of balance, and vomiting. He underwent three
Signals from the vestibular system, area postrema, and forebrain elicit nausea and vomiting, but gastrointestinal (GI) vagal afferent input arguably plays the most prominent role in defense against food poisoning. It is difficult to determine the contribution of GI vagal afferent input on emesis
