a preterm female baby with birth weight of 1.5kg was referred to our hospital on day 6 for difficulty in breathing. baby was admitted at birth for respiratory distress and feed intolerance to other hospital and in view of clinical deterioration baby was referred. baby had thrombocytopenia with platelets counts of 11000/ mm3 and high crp titer. baby had petechial haemorrhagic spots all over the ...

An 8-year-old girl in septic shock due to necrotizing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) pneumonia developed signs of end-organ damage, new right hemiplegia, and left gaze preference. Susceptibility-weighted MRI demonstrated extensive multifocal petechial hemorrhage preferentially at the gray-white matter interface due to septic microemboli (figure). Mechanisms of hemorrhage inc...

ByJ. G. HUMBLE, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P. T HE OCCURRENCE of petechial hemorrhages in the skin and mucous membranes is a well known sign in many hemorrhagic diseases and in other complaints. Little is known, however, of the mechanism by which they are produced or the exact segment of the vessel or vessels at fault. Histologic preparations show merely an exudation of red cells, sometimes of polymorphon...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is the most important complicating factor after treatment with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator. In this study, we used multimodal magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the incidence and severity of reperfusion-based HT in spontaneously hypertensive rats after ischemia/reperfusion. METHODS Twenty male spontaneously...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) of ischemic brain tissue may occur in stroke patients either spontaneously or after thrombolysis. A method to assess the risk of HT in ischemic tissue after stroke would improve the safety of thrombolytic therapy. As a means of predicting HT, we investigated the role of contrast-enhanced MRI at acute time points in a rat middle cerebral art...

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis is the most common cause of nonendemic sporadic encephalitis in the USA. Decreased mortality with early treatment with acyclovir has been documented. Although common complications include cortical petechial hemorrhages, frank intracerebral hematomas are considered very rare. Only few cases have been reported in the literature. We report a case of HSV ence...
