Leptospirosis: need for diagnostic criteria.
S ir, I read the article “Mildly Elevated Transaminases: Excellent diagnostic c l u e f o r A n i c t e r i c L e p t o s p i r o s i s ” with interest.1 Leptospirosis can be diagnosed only by laboratory tests as clinical features are non specific. But the laboratory tests are complex and hence definite guidelines for diagnosis of human leptospirosis is necessary. I fully agree that microscopic...
متن کاملSubarachnoid haemorrhage and intracranial aneurysms: what neurologists need to know.
The incidence of stroke caused by subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) remains constant, with intracranial aneurysm rupture causing SAH in up to 5000 patients in the UK per annum. Although this represents less than 5% of all strokes, recognition is of crucial importance since intervention can radically alter outcome. The combined mortality and morbidity for aneurysm rupture reaches 50%; since the con...

SAH affects 6-9 people per 100,000 of the population per year and constitutes about 6% of first strokes. An apparent decrease from older published figures is attributed to a higher rate of CT scanning, excluding other haemorrhagic causes. Approximately 85% of patients bleed from intracranial arterial aneurysms, 10% from a non-aneurysmal peri-mesencephalic haemorrhage and 5% from other vascular ...
متن کاملSubarachnoid haemorrhage.
Subarachnoid haemorrhage accounts for only 5% of strokes, but occurs at a fairly young age. Sudden headache is the cardinal feature, but patients might not report the mode of onset. CT brain scanning is normal in most patients with sudden headache, but to exclude subarachnoid haemorrhage or other serious disorders, a carefully planned lumbar puncture is also needed. Aneurysms are the cause of s...
