discussion pcr or enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) on serum or cerebrospinal fluid would be the inevitable basis for accurate diagnosis in such cases. case presentation we reviewed three patients diagnosed with aseptic meningitis due to acute non-mumps associated parotitis based on clinical and laboratory findings. while there are many similarities between the clinical characteristics ...

BACKGROUND There are many ways to treat aseptic non-union of femoral shaft fractures with reported varied success rate. Amongst all these, Exchange nailing is the simplest and most successful technique for treating aseptic non union of femoral shaft fractures. We have carried out a prospective study in the Department of Trauma & Orthopaedics, Ayub Medical College Abbottabad to analyse the role ...

Mollaret meningitis is a rare form of meningitis that is recurrent, aseptic, mild, and self-limiting. When initially described by Mollaret, this form of aseptic meningitis had no identifiable infecting agent. New sophisticated diagnostic tools have now identified Herpes simplex type 2 virus as the most commonly isolated agent. The case presented in this article is of a patient with a history of...

introduction : viral meningitis is an inflammation of the leptomeninges as a manifestation of central nervous system (cns) infection, and more than 85% of viral meningitis cases are caused by non-polio enteroviruses. molecular methods such as polymerase chain reaction (pcr) are increasingly used to detect and type non-polio enteroviruses. here, we describe the impact of these viruses on aseptic...

BACKGROUND It is still unclear whether high flexion (HF) activities correlated with the early loosening of the femoral component and whether HF activities are possible. We investigated what is the capability for performing various HF activities, and whether high flexion activities increase the chance of aseptic loosening after HF-TKA. METHODS We retrospectively analysed 260 patients who under...

BACKGROUND Non-polio human enteroviruses are the leading cause of aseptic meningitis in children. The role of enterovirus PCR for diagnosis and management of aseptic meningitis has not been fully explored. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A retrospective study was conducted to determine the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of aseptic meningitis and to evaluate the role ...

Background. Non-polio human enteroviruses are the leading cause of aseptic meningitis in children. The role of enterovirus PCR for diagnosis and management of aseptic meningitis has not been fully explored. Methodology/Principal Findings. A retrospective study was conducted to determine the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of aseptic meningitis and to evaluate the role ...

A fifty-two-year-old man who had reversible, severe dysfunction of the sinus node during acute phase of aseptic meningitis is reported. A diagnosis of aseptic meningitis was made on the basis of following clinical findings ; moderately high fever, meningeal signs and abnormalities of cerebrospinal fluid such as high pressure, an increase in white cell count, high protein content and negative cu...

BACKGROUND Few data are available on the risk of aseptic meningitis following vaccination with the Leningrad-Zagreb (L-Z) strain of mumps vaccine. In 1997 the mumps vaccine was introduced into the state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil through mass vaccination with mumps-measles-rubella (MMR), targeting children aged 1-11 years. Five municipalities used exclusively MMR vaccine containing the L-Z ...
