Restricted water diffusion has been used to distinguish pyogenic abscess from other rim-enhancing brain masses; however diffusion-weighted imaging of cerebral infection before capsule formation has rarely been described. We report a case of fungal cerebritis in which water diffusion was more restricted than that of normal contralateral brain and the measured diffusion coefficient was in the ran...
Listeria monocytogenes is a relatively uncommon pathogen affecting infants or adults with predisposing conditions, such as cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, autoimmune disease, renal transplants, and solid and lymphoreticular malignancies. Cerebral parenchymal involvement is rare and consists of focal cerebritis, which may progress to abscess formation. This article presents three cases of early Li...
A patient fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus and presenting with morbid jealousy is described. There was evidence of cerebral lupus. Her physical and mental symptoms responded to a combination of chlorpromazine and steroids. The morbid mental process was probably caused by her physical condition while the content of her disordered thought and behaviour was deter...
Autoimmune encephalitis is a difficult clinical diagnosis due to the similarities in the clini­cal, imaging and laboratory findings of many forms of autoimmune and infectious encephalitis. Autoimmune encephalitis involves several types: The first group includes the classic paraneo­plastic disorders associated with antibodies to intracellular antigens. The second group involves autoanti...
Five cases of focal tuberculous cerebritis, seen over a period of 10 years, revealed unique clinicoradiologic patterns that differentiate these lesions from other forms of cerebral tuberculosis. Histologically, the process consists of microgranulomata, a lymphocytic infiltrate, Langhans' giant cells, epithelioid cells, and variable evidence of rare tubercle bacilli. The relatively poor clinical...
after 30 days of infection when antigen is no longer detected. The presence of viral antigen and a fourfold rise in antibody titre in seven children indicated a current infection. However, six children testing positive for virus antigen did not have detectable virus specific antibody probably due to maternal antibody masking the IgG response in the infants(8). It is concluded that RSV is an imp...
Objective. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) isa chronic and heterogeneous autoimmune disease. Both twin and sibling studies indicate a strong genetic contribution to lupus, but in the majority of cases the pathogenic variant remains to be identified. The genetic contribution to disease is likely to be greatest in cases with early onset and severe phenotypes. Whole-exome sequencing now offers ...
An alpha-streptococcus brain abscess was produced in five dogs and studied with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (0.5 T) and computed tomography (CT). Non-contrastand contrast-enhanced CT scans were obtained using gadolinium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd DTPA) for MR imaging and meglumine iothalamate for CT scanning. Each animal was evaluated in the early and later cerebritis stages of ...
Virtually all preparations of DNA used to detect antibody to native DNA (nDNA) by binding assays have been found to be subtly contaminated by single stranded DNA. Because recent DNA binding data have directly challenged the unique role previously attributed to these antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), resolution of the consequent ambiguity is of theoretical and practical importanc...
