Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) - due to Lack of Complete Immunization?
The child was admitted in the paediatric department with complaints of fits for one month and altered level of consciousness for two days prior to admission. Mother had also noticed changes in behaviour for one month. He became unusually frightened when he was alone and in a dark room. Fits were not controlled for two days when he came to Abbasi Shaheed hospital and child became drowsy. He was ...
متن کاملSubacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) associated with congenital measles infection.
A 13-month-old male presented with repetitive episodes of myoclonic jerks of the head and extremities for two months. His past medical history revealed that his non-immunized mother had measles at the time of delivery. Measles antibody titers in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were 1/512 (hemagglutinin inhibition [HI]) and 1/128 HI, respectively. Immunofixation electrophoresis of CSF reveal...
متن کاملDifferent transcriptional expression of the matrix gene of the two sibling viruses of the subacute sclerosing panencephalitis virus (Osaka-2 strain) isolated from a biopsy specimen of patient brain.
Two sibling viruses of the subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) virus Osaka-2 strain were isolated from a small biopsy specimen of the brain of an SSPE patient just before intraventricular interferon treatment by cocultivation with two different cell lines, Vero cells or B95a cells (Ogura et al, 1997). Both the virus-infected cells were found to be indistinguishable from each other in def...
متن کاملEpidemiology of Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) in Germany from 2003 to 2009: A Risk Estimation
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a fatal long-term complication of measles infection. We performed an estimation of the total number of SSPE cases in Germany for the period 2003 to 2009 and calculated the risk of SSPE after an acute measles infection. SSPE cases were collected from the Surveillance Unit for Rare Paediatric Diseases in Germany and the Institute of Virology and Immun...
متن کاملUse of Α-interferon, Amantadin and Isoprinosine in Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (sspe): Comparing the Effectiveness
Email: [email protected] Abstract Objective Sub acute Sclerosing Pan Encephalitis (SSPE), a progressive neurological disorder characterized by inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), is the result of an inappropriate immune response to the measles virus or measles vaccination. SSPE usually develops 2 to 10 years after the original viral attack. Some of the major signs and symptoms are m...
