BACKGROUND
Susceptibility to infection is a common problem in a patient with nephrotic syndrome. The spontaneous cellulitis is not uncommon in pediatric patients with nephrotic syndrome, whereas there have been few cases reported in adults. In order to clarify the clinical course of this
OBJECTIVE
To identify risk factors associated with mortality and adverse outcome of community acquired cellulitis/erysipelas requiring hospital admission.
METHODS
A retrospective analysis of 395 episodes of cellulitis/erysipelas admitted to a tertiary referral hospital between January 1999 and
The influence of ozone therapy (parenteral and local application of ozonized solutions) and conventionally used methods of treatment on spectrum dynamics of peripheral blood proteins of 59 patients with phlegmon of the face and the neck was studied. Application of ozone in combined treatment of the
BACKGROUND
Cellulitis is a commonly encountered bacterial infection among cirrhotic patients apart from spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, urinary tract and respiratory infections. This study aimed to determine the risk factors of cellulitis in cirrhosis and whether antibiotic prophylaxis helps
The aim of this study is to evaluate the epidemiology and impact of bacterial infections at admission in patients with acute decompensation (AD) of cirrhosis.A cohort with AD of cirrhosis (European Association for the Study of the Liver criteria) admitted Fifty patients with fibrotic small bowel strictures secondary to long-standing Crohn's disease underwent a total of 225 strictureplasties during the period from June 1984 to July 1988. Forty-two patients (84%) presented with obstructive symptoms. Patients had a 1- to 30-year history of Crohn's
BACKGROUND
Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that is usually treated with an extended course of intravenous (IV) cyclophosphamide (CYC). Given the side effects of this regimen, we evaluated the short-term efficacy and toxicity of a course of
BACKGROUND
Bacterial infections are often associated with significant morbidity and mortality in cirrhosis. The common practice of outdoor barefoot walking in the developing world may predispose cirrhotic individuals to skin infection. Aims. To determine the prevalence, risk factors, spectrum of

Multiple myeloma is caused by abnormal proliferation of plasma cells that affects more commonly African Americans. It classically presents with hypercalcemia, renal failure, anemia, and lytic bone lesions. The aim of this article is to present an unusual case of a 63-year-old
Malignant pleural effusion and its treatment both cause substantial morbidity in patients with advanced neoplastic disease. We hypothesized that this morbidity might be ameliorated by placement of an indwelling Tenckhoff catheter into the involved pleural space. Catheters were placed in 9 patients
We analyzed the treatment of a recent group of patients with life-threatening acute posterior mediastinitis due to esophageal perforation to elucidate common factors in successful treatment. Life-threatening acute posterior mediastinitis due to esophageal perforation was diagnosed in 16 patients
Children with nephrotic syndrome are at increased risk of infections because of disease status itself and use of various immunosuppressive agents. In majority, infections trigger relapses requiring hospitalization with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to OBJECTIVE
We sought to determine risk factors associated with surgical site infection (SSI) among a cohort of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected women undergoing hysterectomy during the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy.
METHODS
This is a retrospective study of HIV-infected women
BACKGROUND
Thiomucase is a mucopolysaccharidase obtained from ovine tissues mainly used to facilitate the diffusion of local anaesthetics and in the treatment of cellulitis. A patient with an anaphylaxis in relation to the intramuscular administration of Thiomucase is reported.
OBJECTIVE
To
BACKGROUND
This study aims to determine the predictive power of baseline C-reactive protein (CRP) value in cirrhotic patients with ascites, without overt infection, that might lead to spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP)/ cellullitis.
METHODS
152 consecutive cirrhotic patients with ascites,
