INTRODUCTION Non-malaria febrile illnesses such as bacterial bloodstream infections (BSI) are a leading cause of disease and mortality in the tropics. However, there are no reliable, simple diagnostic tests for identifying BSI or other severe non-malaria febrile illnesses. We hypothesized that different infectious agents responsible for severe febrile illness would impact on the host metabolome...
DEFINITION OF SIMPLE FEBRILE CONVULSIONS In order to appreciate current concepts of febrile convulsions, it is important to consider briefly some of the views expressed by earlier investigators. One of the earliest references to the condition is that of Husler (1921) who stated that febrile convulsions were not related to epilepsy. Faxen (1935) and Herlitz (1942) both agreed that children with ...
INTRODUCTION Febrile neutropenia is a common complication of chemotherapy treatment of malignant hematological diseases. However, there is insufficient information regarding the infectious complications of febrile neutropenia in our country. Objective. We will evaluate the microbial characteristics of bacterial and fungal isolates and the clinical outcome of patients with febrile neutropenia wh...
There are four Bartonella species known to be pathogenic for humans (Table 1). Carrion’s disease (Bartonella bacilliformis) is endemic to certain areas of South America and has a clinical course that varies widely. It may occur as a subclinical latent disease, an acute fulminant and fatal febrile illness, or an insidious disease of the skin. Trench fever (Bartonella quintana) is transmitted by ...
Introduction: Febrile seizure is the most common form of childhood seizures that occurs in 3–4% of them. In the approach for convulsive febrile patients, diagnosis of etiology of fever and exclusion of CNS infection is very important. The purpose of this study was to evaluate CNS infection in 100 CSF samples of children with febrile seizures. Methods: In a descriptive retrospective study, CSF ...
Background & Aim: The levels of lactic dehydrogenase(LDH) in the cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) have been used to evaluate a variety of neurologic disorders. However, few studies have been performed on CSF LDH in febrile convulsion patients. The aim of this study is to compare CSF LDH in children with simple and complex febrile convulsion. Patients and Method: In this study, which was prospectiv...
We performed a prospective study in patients with chemotherapy induced febrile neutropenia to investigate the diagnostic value of low-dose computed tomography compared to standard chest radiography. The aim was to compare both modalities for detection of pulmonary infections and to explore performance of low-dose computed tomography for early detection of invasive fungal disease. The low-dose c...
OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of unsuspected meningococcal disease (UMD) in young febrile children with meningococcal infections and evaluate whether clinical and laboratory parameters commonly used in the evaluation of fever can help identify children with UMD. METHODS We reviewed the records of children with meningococcal disease from 1985 to 1996 at four referral centers. Children w...
OBJECTIVES This study estimates household costs for treatment of pneumonia, severe pneumonia and very severe febrile disease. Combined with reported costs from the health care provider perspective, an estimate of the overall financial burden of these diseases has been developed for the Northern Areas of Pakistan. METHODS Data on the duration and economic implications of the illnesses for hous...
