Juvenile pathogen-free turbot were infected with a viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) isolate recovered from turbot cultivated on the island of Gigha, West Scotland. Mortality of 100% was recorded in fish infected via the intra-peritoneal (i.p.) route. Horizontal transmission of VHSV in sea water was demonstrated by cohabitation of naive fish with i.p. infected fish at a ratio of 1:1. ...

In general, viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) isolates from marine fish species in European waters (genotypes GIb, GII and GIII) are non- to low virulent in rainbow trout. However, a VHSV isolation was made in 2007 from a disease outbreak in sea farmed rainbow trout in Norway. The isolate, named NO-2007-50-385, was demonstrated to belong to GIII. This isolate has attracted attention t...

Vibrio vulnificus is a motile, gram-negative, halophilic, aquatic bacterium that part of the normal estuarine microbiome and typically found in warm coastal waters. Infection with pathogen due to consumption contaminated seafood or exposure seawater. has mortality rate almost 33% United States responsible for more than 95% seafood-related deaths States. can cause vast spectrum diseases, such as...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the occurrence of and risk factors for late-onset septicemia (LOS) in a national cohort of extremely premature infants who received very early full human milk feeding. METHODS A prospective study of all infants born in Norway in 1999 and 2000 with gestational age of <28 weeks or birth weight of <1000 g was performed. Extensive clinical information, including data on ...

TOPIC: Critical Care TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Landouzy septicemia or disseminated mycobacterial is an uncommon diagnosis. Especially in immunocompetent individuals but one we must not forget. CASE PRESENTATION: 33-year-old Guatemalan woman, with no known history of disease presented headache, fever, chills, abdominal pain, weakness & shortness breath for the pas...

The mechanism of isolated thrombocytopenia in septicemia is unknown, but compensated disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) has been suggested as a possible cause. To investigate this possibility, platelet counts and sensitive assays for in vivo thrombin and plasmin generation, including fibrinogen gel chromatography and fibrinopeptide A (FPA) assays, were obtained on 31 septicemic patien...

OBJECTIVE Activin is a growth and differentiation factor of many cell types, and has recently been implicated in inflammatory processes. Clinical data linking activin and its binding protein, follistatin (FS), are lacking. We measured serum levels of activin and FS in patients diagnosed with septicemia. PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS Eight male and seven female patients of different ages, various ...
