Because of its various manifestations mumps is now considered to be a generalized infection characterized principally by involvement of the parotid and submaxillary glands. Among the complications of mumps-virus infection are meningoencephalitis, gastro-enteritis, orchitis, mastitis, pancreatitis, and subacute thyroiditis. Sometimes one of these disorders constitutes the only manifestation of i...

Dysfunction of the central nervous system (CNS) is a prominent feature of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Many of these patients have a subacute encephalitis consistent with a viral infection of the CNS. We studied the brains of 12 AIDS patients using in situ hybridization to identify human immunodeficiency virus [HIV, referred to by others as human T-cell lymphotropic virus typ...

Meningoradiculitis refers to combined involvement of meninges and nerve roots. The most frequent location is the lumbosacral region. Etiology is diverse, including inflammatory, infectious and neoplastic disorders. Meningoradiculitis is a rare form of involvement in cryptococcal infection. We describe a case of subacute lower limbs flaccid paresis diagnosed as lumbosacral meningoradiculitis in ...

Infections are among the most common causes of seizures. All ages may have seizures due to infections ranging from toxoplasma in the newborn to the Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease in the elderly. Seizures may be the only presenting symptom of an infection such as neurocysticercosis or only one symptom of global central nervous system dysfunction, such as in subacute sclerosing panencephalitis and rab...

Introduction Meningococcal infection may present as meningitis or as acute-fulminating, subacute or chronic sepicaemia. There may be associated arthritis, vasculitis, episcleritis and intravascular coagulation (Whittle et al., 1973). Such complications which usually occur between 3 and 10 days from the onset of the illness, when patients are otherwise improving, have been attributed to immune c...

Acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and reduced diffusion (AESD) is a syndrome of encephalopathy characterized by biphasic seizures and altered consciousness in the acute stage followed in the subacute stage by restricted diffusion in the subcortical white matter on magnetic resonance imaging. The etiology of AESD has been attributed to viral infection like influenza A and human herpes ...

Nocardiosis is an acute, subacute or chronic bacterial infection caused by a group of aerobic, gram positive and weakly acid fast species of genus Nocardia. Primary Cutaneous Nocardiosis (PCN) is relatively uncommon disease and is usually seen in immunocompetent persons. We report a case of primary cutaneous nocardiosis in a known case of lepromatous leprosy, syphilis and HIV patient who presen...

A case of subacute bacterial endocarditis due to Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is reported. The patient was successfully treated first by a combination of gentamicin and ampicillin and then, because of severe allergic reactions, ampicillin was replaced by co-trimoxazole; symptoms did not recur and blood cultures remained sterile. A synoptic table is presented of 19 reported cases of infe...

A case of Gemella morbillorum (G.morbillorum) endocarditis of the mitral valve in a patient with previously normal heart valves is reported. The presentation was subacute, and the infection was complicated by perforation of the posterior mitral leaflet that necessitated valve repair. Gemella morbillorum infections are uncommon, and endocarditis is the most common presentation. G.morbillorum end...
