Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare neurological manifestation associated with dengue infection. More common antecedent infections include Campylobacter jejuni and Cytomegalovirus infection. Here, we report two cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome complicating dengue infection.

Allograft infections post lung transplantation have a significant impact on morbidity and mortality. We report a rare case of triple viral infection with adenovirus, Herpes Simplex virus (HSV) and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in a lung transplant recipient.

Epstein–Barr virus and cytomegalovirus are members of the human herpesviruses that have an extremely high seroprevalence in all populations studied. The initial infection is usually asymptomatic, or causes a febrile illness, but can rarely manifest itself neurologically. These viruses are increasingly important in the modern era of immunosuppression, whether due to AIDS or in the transplant or ...

Opportunistic infections continue to be a major cause of disease in patients with HIV infection. Despite the development of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART ) , opportunistic infections continue to be seen in patients who do not have access to antiretrovirals, and in patients who do not have an adequate response to antiretrovirals [1]. Viral infections are a major cause of opportunis...

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) also known as Churg- Strauss syndrome is a systemic small- and medium-vessel necrotizing vasculitis, characterized by extravascular granulomas, eosinophilia. Treatment primarily corticosteroids and, for severe disease, addition of other immunosuppressive agents. Here, we want to present 57-year-old male patient who was diagnosed EGPA develope...

Many factors are involved in our ability to understand the complex role of the blood recipient in cytomegalovirus infections. The age factor is an extremely important one. The neonate does not have a fully developed immunological system and is not able to respond as well as the mature individual. The young child has an intact immune system but has had only limited experience with infectious age...

Among 40 hospitalized infants and children with cytomegalovirus infection, 14 (35%) had interstitial pneumonitis, 4 (10%) had wheezing or tachypnoea but without x-ray evidence of classical interstitial pneumonia, the remaining 22 (55%) were free of pulmonary involvement. Most patients had tachypnoea and nonproductive cough of varying durations: those with underlying pulmonary pathology tended t...
