Severe thrombocytopenia is a cause of morbidity and mortality for patients with COVID-19 infection. The common causes in these are; sepsis, drug-associated, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), heparin-associated (HIT), microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA). Recently, cases infection-associated Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) have been reported the literature. In our study, we...

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a neuropsychiatric illness characterized by the experience of recurrent, intrusive, and distressing thoughts, images, and urges to action. It was considered a rare disorder, but new data have revealed that it is, in fact, a relatively common illness, particularly in childhood and adolescence. The etiology and pathophysiology of OCD are not well understood....

Background: The gram-positive, beta-hemolytic, and chain-forming Group B Streptococcus (GBS), commonly known as agalactiae, may asymptomatically invade the human gastrointestinal vaginal tracts. However, GBS become very invasive pathogenic to mother baby during pregnancy, having negative effects. Study Aim: This study aims investigate pregnancy outcomes of women who tested positive for genitour...

While group C beta hemolytic streptococcal infections are uncommon in humans, group C beta hemolytic streptococcal pneumonia is exceedingly rare. To the best of our knowledge, only 2 cases of necrotizing pneumonia caused by group C beta hemolytic streptococcus have been reported in the past. Thus, we are reporting a rare case of necrotizing group C beta hemolytic streptococcal pneumonia in a y...

introduction: group a beta-hemolytic streptococcus (gabhs) can induce pandas (pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infection). gabhs is the most important and common bacterial cause of acute pharyngitis in iranian children. we studied the role of gabhs (anti-streptococcal antibodies) in suspected cases of pandas in a cross sectional studies. methods: acr...

hepatitis b virus (hbv) is the most prevalent viral infection and is among the leading causes of human liver diseases. nearly 360 millions of people are world widely infected with prolonged forms of hepatitis b including active and inactive chronic forms. chronic hepatitis b (chb) is associated with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) in patients suffering from congenital and/or acquir...

The prevalence of the hemolytic enterotoxin complex HBL was determined in all species of the Bacillus cereus group with the exception of Bacillus anthracis. hblA, encoding the binding subunit B, was detected by PCR and Southern analysis and was confirmed by partial sequencing of 18 strains. The sequences formed two clusters, one including B. cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis strains and the oth...

Drug induced autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a well-known complication of drug therapy but it is often misdiagnosed. Drug induced autoimmune hemolytic anemia is difficult to differantiate from classical autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Here, we have reported a case with autoimmune hemolytic anemia might be caused by drugs such as teicoplanin, imipenem and amphotericin B. In our case, on the fifteent...

The hemolytic activities of 91 strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from human diarrheal stools, sea fish, and sea water; 21 suspected V. parahaemolyticus cultures isolated from wound infections; 14 nonpathogenic marine vibrios; and 21 V. parahaemolyticus isolated from moribund blue crabs Callinectes sapidus were compared. Potentially pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus strains could be diffe...
