Crohn’s disease is a chronic illness that may often follow a relapsing-remitting course. Many of the factors that may be associated with the spontaneous remission of this disease (i.e. not related to specific treatment) remain to be determined. In the present report, we review the medical history of a patient with a long history of moderate to severe Crohn’s whose complete remission immediately...

In a case of Sweet's syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) neutrophilic alveolitis was found by lung biopsy. Pulmonary disease in this condition may be underrecognised yet, like the dermatological features, it responds rapidly to corticosteroids.

Leptospirosis, an infectious disease of both animals and humans, is caused by infection with bacteria of the genus Leptospira. Leptospirosis in cattle may be manifested by different clinical syndromes such as a transient febrile response, a life threatening haemolytic crisis, chronic interstitial nephritis, mastitis, abortions, stillbirths and reproductive failure in cattle. Leptospirosis is an...

Babesia is a malaria-like protozoan parasite spread by Ixodes ticks primarily from the white-footed deer mouse to humans. Typically it causes subclinical disease, but occasionally causes acute febrile disease with hepatosplenomegaly. We report a case of spontaneous splenic rupture of a 56-yr-old man with acute Babesia microti infection.

Febrile neutropenia is one of the frequent complications systemic antitumor therapy, characterized by high rates patient mortality, mortality particularly in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease, renal as well presence anemia. In addition, development febrile associated a decrease dose intensity chemotherapy, which also has an adverse effect on long-term results treatment number ma...

BACKGROUND Febrile seizures are the most common seizures in children, but their pathogenesis remains unknown. Some studies have suggested an association between the light-dependent secretion of melatonin and the occurrence of febrile seizures. The diurnal and seasonal occurrence of febrile seizures could clarify the role daylight plays in febrile seizures. METHODS In Finland, summer days are ...

To the Editor—I read with interest the article by Chuang et al.1 The authors do not mention bradycardia as an important finding in dengue fever. Heart rate, as well as body temperature, is routinely recorded in all febrile patients. Lateef et al2 report that relative bradycardia (pulse temperature deficit) should raise awareness of such an infection. While this feature may be noted in other inf...

Environmental exposure early in development plays a role in susceptibility to disease in later life. Here, we demonstrate that prolonged febrile seizures induced by exposure of rat pups to a hyperthermic environment enhance seizure susceptibility not only in these hyperthermia-treated rats but also in their future offspring, even if the offspring never experience febrile seizures. This transgen...
