Typhoid fever currently is an uncommon disease in western countries, and cases usually are imported from endemic areas.1 The most common complications are intestinal bleeding or perforation and necrotizing cholecystitis, although hepatitis, myocarditis, nephritis, and meningitis may occur.
Collective evidence argues that two members of the nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) acquire their membrane from open membrane intermediates, postulated to be derived from membrane rupture. We now study membrane acquisition of the NCLDV African swine fever virus. By electron tomography
Spontaneous rupture of the spleen is a rare complication of acute Q fever infection. Only two cases have been reported, both in Europe. This is the first reported case of spontaneous rupture of the spleen caused by acute Q fever in the United States.
Three cases of multidrug-resistant Salmonella typhi infection presenting as spontaneous splenic rupture are presented. One patient died and two recovered completely. This is a previously unreported presentation of typhoid fever.
Q fever is usually a self-limited febrile illness that involves the lungs and the liver. Acute complications are rare. We present the case of a 30-yr-old patient with spontaneous splenic rupture during the course of acute Q fever infection. He was admitted to the hospital with high temperature and
BACKGROUND
Spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare but known complication of dengue fever. Previously reported cases have occurred early during the course of the disease and most cases have led to a fatal outcome. Here we report a case of spontaneous splenic rupture in a patient with dengue fever,
During the recent 5 years we had 29 patients with hemorrhagic fever and renal syndrome complicated by a spontaneous kidney rupture. This complication occurred during an anuric period in 18 patients and within the first 24 hours of restored diuresis in 11 patients. Major clinical presentations of the
Chronic Coxiella burnetii vascular infection is rare and usually develops on a pre-existing vascular lesion, such as an aneurysm or vascular prosthesis. We report a case of proven C. burnetii aortic infection revealed by a massive retroperitoneal aortoiliac aneurysm rupture in a
Two patients who developed frank arterial bleeding after combined microwave-induced hyperthermia and radiotherapy are described. One patient received re-irradiation and hyperthermia for recurrent metastatic neck nodes of a mesopharyngeal carcinoma. Full course radiotherapy had been given 6 years
A case of rupture of the spleen is described secondary to dengue 1 fever in an adult patient. This exceptional complication occurred during an outbreak of dengue in French Polynesia. After failure of conservative management, splenectomy was performed. Examination of the surgical specimen confirmed
Spontaneous rupture of the spleen with hemoperitoneum is a very rare, but serious manifestation of dengue fever (DF). We report a case of a young female who was presented with atraumatic abdominal pain, hypovolemic shock, anemia, ascites and hepatosplenomegaly with a recent history of a febrile
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the association of uterine rupture during a trial of labor after cesarean with postpartum fever after the prior cesarean delivery.
METHODS
We conducted a nested, case-control study in a cohort of all women undergoing a trial of labor after cesarean over a 12-year period in a
OBJECTIVE
Our purpose was to determine significant predictors for the development of clinical chorioamnionitis and postpartum fever in patients with prelabor rupture of membranes at term.
METHODS
Logistic regression analysis with odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals was used to determine the
Spontaneous rupture of the spleen has been described in cases of hematologic, neoplasic and infectious diseases, or resulting from pancreatitis. We report a rare case of spontaneous splenic rupture, and favorable evolution after splenectomy, in a patient with dengue fever, which occurred during the
A 26-year-old male presented with fever for five days and abdominal pain for 24 hours. System examination identified a soft abdomen with diffuse tenderness. CT-abdomen findings were consistent with splenic rupture with intra and peri-splenic hematoma. Laboratory investigations showed a platelet
