Results. Of the 277 children who were treated for bacterial meningitis, neurologic complications developed in 60 patients (22%) and 15 children died, yielding an overall mortality rate of 5%. The most important predictors for neurologic complications in pediatric patients with bacterial meningitis were prehospital seizures and their recurrence >24 hours after admisssion (RR 6.7 and RR 6.2, 95% ...

Objective: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving measure for patients in cardiac or respiratory failure. cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) emergent ECMO cannulation during arrest. All are at high risk neurologic complications, but the degree of ECPR relative to without CPR progress (non-ECPR ECMO) not well documented infants. The goal present study compare complication r...

neurologic events in all but the first clusters was statistically related to at least one coexistent complication. The interrelationship of these events makes the identification of the relative contribution of each single variable difficult. It is reported that the development of neurologic complications can be the result of low cardiac output syndrome (ie, severe arrhythmias).5,6 Vice versa, c...

INTRODUCTION Dengue haemorrhagic fever is known for its haemorrhagic and neurologic complications. Neurologic complications are caused by three mechanism namely neurotropism, systemic complications causing encephalopathy and postinfectious immune-mediated mechanisms. However acute compressive neuropathy due to haemorrhage is not frequent and we could find no literature describing this. CASE R...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to describe reported influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 virus (pH1N1)-associated deaths in children with underlying neurologic disorders. METHODS The study compared demographic characteristics, clinical course, and location of death of pH1N1-associated deaths among children with and without underlying neurologic disorders reported to the Centers for Disease Control a...
