The levels of albumin and immunoglobulins G, A, M were determined by using nephelometry technique in the cerebrospinal fluid and serum in 14 adults with tick borne meningoencephalitis at the beginning and after four weeks of disease. Intra blood-brain synthesis of IgG, IgA, IgM was evaluated by
BACKGROUND
Epidemics of meningoencephalitis due to echovirus 9 were commonly occurred when a children population become susceptible for the first time in front the virus.
OBJECTIVE
To present the intrathecal synthesis pattern of immunoglobulins of the epidemic that affected Cuba in 1999 and to probe
Eosinophilic meningoencephalitis due to the nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis, which is endemic to Cuba, occurs in children and is due to accidental contact with soil snails. The course is less often fatal than in adult patients in southeastern Asia. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum samples
BACKGROUND
There is a growing interest to know the characteristics of meningoencephalitis due to Angiostrongylus cantonensis because of it is an emergent disease.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the intrathecal synthesis pattern of IgG subclasses in pediatric patients suffering from eosinophilic
Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis represents a serious infection of the central nervous system, where reliable prognostic factors during the disease course are needed. Twenty-one patients diagnosed with cryptococcal meningoencephalitis in a German university hospital from 1999 to 2013 were analysed
Using radial immunodiffusion, albumin and immunoglobulin G were determined in non-preconcentrated cerebrospinal fluid from 127 controls and from 239 patients. In controls the concentrations of albumin and immunoglobulin G followed normal distribution. The two variables were correlated linearly (r =
BACKGROUND
Angiostrongylus cantonensis meningoencephalitis is an emergent zoonotic disease in the Caribbean basin, characterized by the presence of eosinophils and third stage larva of the helmint.
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the IgG subclasses and IgE intrathecal synthesis patterns obtained by reibergrams
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a syndrome characterized by various degrees of vasculitis in small-and medium-sized arteries. We discussed the characteristic manifestations and prognosis of 5 KD patients (male 3, female 2) with meningoencephalitis in the acute stage. The incidence was 3.7% (5 of 138
BACKGROUND
During the third quarter of 2000, an outbreak of echovirus 16 meningoencephalitis was firstly occurred in Cuba and produced vomiting, headache, fever and exanthem that differentiate it from other enterovirus epidemies.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis pattern
Four quarantined vervet monkeys were treated with intramuscular Berenil in patent CNS infection after experimental trypanosome inoculation with Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense or T. brucei brucei. All four animals relapsed in the post-therapeutic survival time of 37 to 209 days when they had fully
BACKGROUND
Angiostrongylus cantonensis meningoencephalitis is an emergent disease in the Americas.
METHODS
Twelve children suffering from eosinophilic meningoencephalitis due to this parasite aged between 6-10 years were studied. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum samples were taken simultaneously
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) meningoencephalitis has a high mortality rate if proper antiviral therapy is not applied. Thus rapid diagnosis is of peculiar importance in such cases. In this study we aimed to evaluate the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and detection of intrathecally synthesized
BACKGROUND
Simultaneously with the origin and development of the Cuban epidemic neuropathy, cases of viral meningoencephalitis with particular characteristics due to Coxsackie were found. This virus and Inoue-Melnick virus were found too in patients suffering from Cuban epidemic
An IgG subclass deficiency is often associated with bacterial infections. We studied four pediatric patients suffering from meningoencephalitis, two of them due to Streptococcus pneumoniae and two due to Haemophilus influenzae type b. Simultaneous diagnostic serum and cerebrospinal fluid samples
BACKGROUND
beta-trace protein or D2 prostaglandin synthase is a dual functional protein. Its role and clinical value in cerebrospinal fluid is under study.
METHODS
Seventy four pediatric patients suffering from viral meningoencephalitis and 7 with bacterial meningoencephalitis were studied. Sera and
