Can anti-streptokinase antibody predict myocardial infarction outcomes after streptokinase treatment?
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was finding the association between anti- Streptokinase (SK) levels based on previous streptococcus infection and the clinical outcome of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among Iranian patients after SK treatment. METHODS In this prospective study, 31 consecutive patients presented to the emergency room of a referral university hospital within six hours of th...
متن کاملAnti-streptokinase Antibody Detection before and Immediately after Streptokinase Therapy in Patients with Myocardial Infarction
Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most common and serious diseases resulting from coronary artery occlusion and major reduction in blood flow. Streptokinase as a thrombolytic is considered the first and most important therapeutic intervention for reperfusion following MI in most countries including Iran. Our previous study showed that, the prevalence of high antibody titers a...
متن کاملIntracoronary streptokinase after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
BACKGROUND Microvascular perfusion is often impaired after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We proposed that in situ thrombosis might contribute to poor myocardial perfusion in this setting. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated the effect of low-dose intracoronary streptokinase administered immediately after primary PCI. METHODS Forty-one patients undergoing primary PCI were...
متن کاملGuillain-Barré Syndrome after Thrombolysis with Streptokinase
Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an eponym for a heterogeneous group of immune-mediated peripheral neuropathies. We describe a case of GBS in a patient who recieved intravenous streptokinase therapy for acute anterior myocardial infarction. Clinical symptoms are thought to result from streptokinase-antibody complex mediated damage to the local blood-nerve barrier. Patient was treated with 5-day...
