Ebola virus disease is the important emerging disease in Africa. This infection is deadly and has the main clinical feature as an acute hemorrhagic fever. The main hematological alteration in this infection is the platelet change. However, the change in other hematological parameters should be mentioned. 

The etiology of acute diarrhea was studied in 915 children under 5 years of age between March 1986 and August 1987, in 7 hospitals in Tehran. 65 healthy children in similar age groups served as controls. Rotavirus was found in 25% of the patients and 1.5% of controls with the highest detection rate occurring in the 7-24 month age group (28%) and declining beyond 25 months of age (5%). The ...

The immunoelectrophoretic patterns of plasma proteins from mice are altered significantly by acute infections. Some proteins are dissociated into two or more components, some showed striking increase in plasma concentration, others are depleted, and certain ones appear which are undetectable in normal samples. beta(1)-C dissociated into two electrophoretic components under a variety of conditio...

Background Acute respiratory infection is still the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children under five in many countries. We aimed to assess the incidence and risk factors predicting the outcome of Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI). Materials and Methods This is a hos...

the immune responses that develop following epstien-barr virus (ebv) infection are complex and involve both humoral and to a greater extent cell-mediated immune mechanisms. to evaluate the immune response, flow cytometric analysis of the peripheral blood of six patients during the acute phase of ebv infection was performed. this analysis revealed a significant increase in the percentages and th...

b ackground: toxoplasmosis is a serious disease in immunocompromised patients and pregnant women. differentiation of acute and chronic infection is a major challenge in serodiagnosis of the disease. since the aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic utility of recombinant sag1 (rec- sag1) for the detection of toxoplasma -specific igm antibodies in human sera, by an enzyme-linked immunosor...
