Re-emergence of Bolivian hemorrhagic fever.
In July and August 1994, an outbreak of Bolivian hemorrhagic fever (BHF) occurred among an extended family living in the city of Magdalena (1994 population estimates 5,300), Itenez Province, Department of Beni, Bolivia (see map). BHF, caused by the Machupo arenavilus, is known to be endemic only in Bolivia. The principal reservoir of the Machupo virus is the small rodent Calomys callosus. This ...

age. In particular, suspected childhood TB patients without an identifiable TB contact and with normal immune status were subjected to further investigations. Multidisciplinary management, including enhanced laboratory diagnosis of atypical bony lesions in infants and children, is recommended for any suspected TB infection. Once BCGrelated infection is confirmed, medical treatment has to be con...

1976 strain in four bases (<1%). No differences were seen when the polymerase gene PCR products (~350 bp) from those four patients were sequenced, which indicated that they had been infected with the same virus. Three days later, sequence data from expanded analysis of the entire glycoprotein gene were compared with those of the original 1976 Yambuku isolate (9) and showed that the overall diff...
متن کاملCrimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever: history, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical syndrome and genetic diversity.
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is the most important tick-borne viral disease of humans, causing sporadic cases or outbreaks of severe illness across a huge geographic area, from western China to the Middle East and southeastern Europe and throughout most of Africa. CCHFV is maintained in vertical and horizontal transmission cycles involving ixodid ticks and a variety of wild and domest...
متن کاملHost genetic diversity enables Ebola hemorrhagic fever pathogenesis and resistance.
Existing mouse models of lethal Ebola virus infection do not reproduce hallmark symptoms of Ebola hemorrhagic fever, neither delayed blood coagulation and disseminated intravascular coagulation nor death from shock, thus restricting pathogenesis studies to nonhuman primates. Here we show that mice from the Collaborative Cross panel of recombinant inbred mice exhibit distinct disease phenotypes ...
