Abstract:

Thesis (Master's Diploma(Technology (Medical Technology))-- Cape Technikon, 1997<br>Meningitis in children is a common and serious disease. Bacterial and tuberculous meningitis often lead to neurological complications. A sensitive marker to predict brain damage in children with meningitis could be of great importance. Frithz F et aI, 1982 suggested that increased adenylate kinase values could indeed be used as a marker for brain damage. Adenylate kinase (AK) is an enzyme present in brain tissue. Low concentrations are present in normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) « 1 uti). Increased concentrat

Abstract:

Central Nervous System (CNS) vasculitis is the most common life-threatening complication of coccidioidal meningitis. It is manifested by cerebral ischemia, hemorrhage, and infarction. We report a case of CNS vasculitis in a patient receiving chemotherapy and review of the literature on coccidioidal meningitis. The patient was treated with combination antifungal therapy and a short course of high dose corticosteroids with a modest improvement in her neurological examination after initiation of steroids.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Community-acquired bacterial meningitis is a relevant entity related to a high morbidity and mortality, despite of the adjuvant and antibiotic treatments available. Morbidity and mortality are caused by neurological complications, being hydrocephalus one of the less investigated one and related to Listeria monocytogenes meningoencephalitis episodes, which increase have been reported in the last decade. Moreover, the devices used for treatment of hydrocephalus have a high risk of infection. These infections have a high personal and economic costs, and their prevention and treatme

Abstract:

As mortality in childhood decreases due to advances in modern medicine, presence of better nutrition and fresh water supply, the impact of disability has become increasingly important especially in resource poor countries. Children living in sub- Saharan Africa are also exposed to a number of potentially debilitating infections which have been shown to have long-term cognitive effects even in absence of clinical neurological sequelae. The objective of the study is to demonstrate that event related potentials (ERPs) can be used to detect neurocognitive impairment following the most common centr

Amostras de líquor foram colhidas de pacientes atendidos no HU-USP entre agosto e novembro/2010 e fevereiro/2012 a janeiro/2013. Através da Nested-PCR HEV foram detectados em 9,8% das amostras, HAdV em 2,5% e HHV-1 e 2 em 1,1%, além de 3 casos de coinfecção, 2 entre HEV e HHV, e 1 entre HEV e HAdV.

La forma de presentación de Lm es muy variable y a menudo se confunde con otras entidades más prevalentes creando una demora en el diagnóstico inicial y por lo tanto en su tratamiento.

Background: The central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) is the most debilitating aspect of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). Affected children exhibit numerous cognitive and behavioural deficits which can severely affect quality of life. As the diagnosis of FASDs often requires specially trained physicians, there is a need for sensitive and specific tools that screen PAE-related CNS dysfunction in order to identify individuals who require further consultation. Additionally, objective measures of intervention end-points are critical to ass

Abstract:

Acute demyelination in children may be a monophasic illness or the sentinel attack of multiple sclerosis (MS) – a chronic inflammatory neurodegenerative demyelinating disease. MS risk is largely determined during childhood and vitamin D may protect against MS. The primary objective of this thesis was to evaluate vitamin D status in children presenting with acute demyelinating syndromes (ADS) as a potential contributor to MS outcome. The LIAISON “25 OH Vitamin D TOTAL” assay was validated to assess the biomarker of vitamin D status – serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations. Consecuti
