Background and aims: Toxoplasmosis is a very common disease in the world. Two types of acquiredtoxoplasmosis have been detected. In the chronic toxoplasmosis, the abnormality of tissue functionis little but, in acute toxoplasmosis, function of RES system becomes interrupted. The assessment oftoxoplasma antibody with tissue enzymes in this stage is very important. Furthermore, ...


 Introduction: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia continues to be the commonest cause of nursery and NICU admissions readmissions in neonatal period worldwide. Although most cases are physiological, toxic levels un-conjugated bilirubin can lead acute chronic encephalopathy. Hence, this study aimed risk factors for exchange range neonates.
 Methods: This was a hospital-based prospective obse...

INTRODUCTION Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is an extremely rare radiological diagnosis that has not been reported previously in association with acute liver failure. CASE PRESENTATION A 6-year-old Sri Lankan girl developed acute liver failure with severe hepatic encephalopathy due to sodium valproate. She was successfully treated medically with N-acetylcysteine and L-carnitine....

Although previous studies have reported on the effectiveness of brain hypothermia therapy in childhood acute encephalopathy, additional studies in this field are necessary. In this review, we discussed brain hypothermia therapy methods for two clinical conditions for which sufficient evidences are currently available in the literature. The first condition is known as hypoxic-ischemic encephalop...

An autopsy performed on a 53-year-old man who had unrelieved obstruction of the small bowel due to gallstone ileus revealed morphological features that were typical of acute Wernicke's encephalopathy. The likely sequence of disease in this patient was the development of thiamine deficiency owing to the unrelieved intestinal obstruction, which resulted in the development of acute Wernicke's ence...

Severe neonatal unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, with the risk of bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus in severe, untreated cases, occurs when bilirubin production exceeds the body's ability to eliminate it. The causes of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia are multifactorial and comprise increased hemolysis on the one hand, and diminished bilirubin conjugation on the other. In recent years, many of...

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is an acute encephalopathy characterized by headache, altered consciousness, visual symptoms and convulsions. Diagnosis supported Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the Brain. Here we report a case PRES in 24-year-old-male who showed complete recovery with control blood pressure. Finally Post Infectious Glomerular Nephritis (PIGN) was found t...
