Levamisole therapy was tested for its effect on herpetic trigeminal ganglionic latency in mice. There was no significant difference between recovery rate from levamisoletreated mice and that from non-treated mice during 12 weeks treatement. These results show that levamisole does not suppress herpetic ganglionic latency.

BACKGROUND Disseminated herpetic infections during pregnancy have been reported in the literature. CASE This case presentation describes a pregnant patient who presented with fever, elevated liver enzymes, and upper abdominal tenderness and succumbed from fulminant herpetic hepatitis. CONCLUSION Early diagnosis and treatment are essential because of the high mortality rate.

flaviviridae are viruses that cause several diseases including dengue fever, japanese encephalitis, murray valley encephalitis, tick-borne encephalitis, west nile encephalitis, yellow fever and hepatitis c virus infection. members of this family have monopartite, linear, single-stranded rna genomes of positive polarity, 9.6-12.3 kb in length. here, we have analyzed the codon usage of 13 species...

Review of literature revealed atleast 30 cases of post herpes zoster osteonecrosis of maxilla or mandible. To our knowledge this is a first reported case of Ramsay-Hunt syndrome with post herpetic neuralgia and post herpes zoster osteonecrosis of edentulous maxilla and mandible. We have briefly reviewed the pathophysiology and management of post herpes zoster osteonecrosis and post herpetic neu...

The first description of an autoimmune encephalitis dates back to 1888, when Hermann Oppenheim described a patient with neurological symptoms but no underlying brain pathology. The field of autoimmune encephalitides associated with antibodies targeting cell-surface antigens is rapidly expanding and new antibodies are discovered frequently. Autoimmune encephalitis is a difficult clinical diagnos...
