Alkhurma hemorrhagic fever virus (AHFV) is a tick-borne flavivirus with high case fatality rates, endemic in the Arabian Peninsula. Recently AHFV was detected in travelers returning from Egypt suggesting geographical spreading. We also report AHFV infection in a traveler ex Egypt, representing
The emerging avian influenza A (H7N9) virus, a subtype of influenza viruses, was first discovered in March 2013 in China. Infected patients frequently present with pneumonia and acute respiratory disorder syndrome with high rates of intensive care unit admission and death. Neurological A 55-year-old, malignant hyperthermia-susceptible patient underwent myocardial revascularization without incident. Six hours postoperatively, he developed what was initially diagnosed as an MH crisis, for which he received intravenous dantrolene. The resultant muscle weakness prolonged the duration
BACKGROUND
Dantrolene is the only specific treatment for malignant hyperthermia (MH), a genetic disorder in which life-threatening temperature increase has been induced by inhalation anesthetics and succinylcholine. Because MH presents with nonspecific signs and delay of treatment can be fatal,
We report a malignant hyperthermia-susceptible patient who required investigation for a large, symptomatic anterior mediastinal mass. Multiple attempts at tissue diagnosis under local anaesthesia were unsuccessful. Following awake fibreoptic tracheal intubation, general anaesthesia was administered
The typical explosive form of malignant hyperthermia caused by following isoflurane anaesthesia is a well-known phenomenon. Nevertheless, since dantrolene is used, its evolution toward a multiple organ failure has been rarely described. We report a case of typical explosive malignant hyperthermia
The authors submit the case-history of a 29-year-old man, followed up on account of liver steatosis with a toxic-nutritional etiology who developed, after previous increased physical exertion and alcohol abuse, fever associated with major muscular weakness. Gradually he developed an amental
A case of Rocky Mountain spotted fever in a 10-year-old boy accompanied by an unusually high degree of myalgia and muscle weakness was presented. On admission to the hospital, his creatine phosphokinase, SGOT, SGPT, and aldolase values were all abnormally high. Rash did not appear until the fourth
Malignant hyperthermia is a rare, potentially life threatening pharmacogenetic disorder triggered by volatile anaesthetics and depolarizing muscle relaxants. The clinical picture comprises rhabdomyolysis, metabolic and respiratory acidosis, and hyperthermia. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II
A 10-month-old boy presented with gross motor delay and muscle weakness, especially in both lower limbs. At age 5, he developed lordosis, talipes, and planovalgus. His grandmother died of malignant hyperthermia during surgery. On neurological examination, he had mild proximal muscle weakness and
A 31-year old male developed malignant hyperthermia (MH) during the initial minutes of Halothane induction. CPK rose to 6120 U/ml and decreased to normal levels as the patient became afebrile over a 10 day period of cooling measures and metabolic management. Muscle weakness, predominantly proximal
