Clinical description of encephalopathic syndromes and risk factors for their occurrence and outcome during melarsoprol treatment of human African trypanosomiasis. (1/48)
Encephalopathies are the most feared complications of sleeping sickness treatment with melarsoprol. To investigate the existence of risk factors, the incidence of encephalopathic syndromes and the relationship between the development of different types of encephalopathies and the clinical outcome was studied in a clinical trial with 588 patients under treatment with melarsoprol. The 38 encephalopathy cases were classified into three types according to the leading clinical picture: coma type, convulsion type and psychotic reactions. Nine patients were attributed to the convulsion type, defined as a transient event of short duration with convulsions followed by a post-ictal phase, without signs of a generalized disease. None of these patients died from the reaction. Febrile reactions in the 48 h preceding the reaction were generally not observed in this group. Twenty-five patients were attributed to the coma type, which is a progredient coma lasting several days. Those patients often had signs of a generalized disease such as fever (84%), headache (72%) or bullous skin (8%) reactions. The risk of mortality was high in this group (52%). About 14/16 patients with encephalopathic syndrome of the coma type were infected with malaria. Patients with psychotic reactions or abnormal psychiatric behaviour (3/38) and one patient who died after alcohol intake were excluded from the analysis. The overall rate of encephalopathic syndromes in the cases analysed (n=34) was 5.8%, of which 38.2% died. We did not find any parameters of predictive value for the risk of developing an encephalopathic syndrome based on the symptoms and signs before treatment initiation. The appearance during treatment of febrile reactions (RR 11.5), headache (RR 2.5), bullous eruptions (RR 4.5) and systolic hypotension (RR 2.6) were associated with an increased risk for the occurrence of encephalopathic syndromes especially of the coma type.

Early diagnosis of the clinical reactivation of Chagas' disease in human immunodeficiency virus- and Trypanosoma cruzi-coinfected persons is fundamental for a good prognosis. Polymerase chain reaction rapidly and efficiently demonstrated the presence and elimination of T. cruzi in the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient with chagasic meningoencephalitis. Characterization of T. cruzi, directly and indirectly in blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples, demonstrated homogeneity of kinetoplast DNA and the presence of lineage 1 (T. cruzi II) in both parasite populations. (+info)Cerebral trypanosomiasis and AIDS. (3/48)
A 36 year-old black female, complaining of headache of one month's duration presented with nausea, vomiting, somnolence, short memory problems, loss of weight, and no fever history. Smoker, intravenous drugs abuser, promiscuous lifestyle. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: left homonimous hemianopsia, left hemiparesis, no papilledema, diffuse hyperreflexia, slowness of movements. Brain CT scan: tumor-like lesion in the splenium of the corpus calosum, measuring 3.5 x 1.4 cm, with heterogeneous enhancing pattern, suggesting a primary CNS tumor. Due to the possibility of CNS infection, a lumbar puncture disclosed an opening pressure of 380 mmH(2)0; 11 white cells (lymphocytes); glucose 18 mg/dl (serum glucose 73 mg/dl); proteins 139 mg/dl; presence of Trypanosoma parasites. Serum Elisa-HIV tests turned out to be positive. Treatment with benznidazole dramatically improved clinical and radiographic picture, but the patient died 6 weeks later because of respiratory failure. T. cruzi infection of the CNS is a rare disease, but we have an increasing number of cases in HIV immunocompromised patients. Diagnosis by direct observation of CSF is uncommon, and most of the cases are diagnosed by pathological examination. It is a highly lethal disease, even when properly diagnosed and treated. This article intends to include cerebral trypanosomiasis in the differential diagnosis of intracranial space-occupying lesions, especially in immunocompromised patients from endemic regions. (+info)Activities of azithromycin and amphotericin B against Naegleria fowleri in vitro and in a mouse model of primary amebic meningoencephalitis. (4/48)
Inhalation of fresh water containing the free-living ameba Naegleria fowleri may lead to a potentially fatal infection known as primary amebic meningoencephalitis. Amphotericin B is the only agent with established clinical efficacy in the treatment of primary amebic meningoencephalitis in humans, but therapy with this drug is often associated with adverse effects on the kidneys and other organs, and not all persons treated with amphotericin B have survived. We investigated the in vitro activity and in vivo efficacy of newer therapeutic agents in an attempt to identify other useful agents for treating primary amebic meningoencephalitis. Azithromycin has shown in vitro activity against Acanthamoeba spp. and in vivo activity against experimental toxoplasmosis. In our study, the MIC of azithromycin against N. fowleri was 13.4 micro M (10 micro g/ml), which was 123 times greater than the MIC of amphotericin B, which was 0.108 micro M (0.1 micro g/ml). Azithromycin protected 100% of mice infected with N. fowleri at a dose of 75 mg/kg/day for 5 days, whereas amphotericin B protected only 50% of mice at a dose of 7.5 mg/kg/day for 5 days, and all control mice died during the 28-day observation period. We conclude that azithromycin has both in vitro and in vivo activity versus N. fowleri and may be a useful addition to therapy for primary amebic meningoencephalitis. (+info)Environmental isolation of Balamuthia mandrillaris associated with a case of amebic encephalitis. (5/48)
This report describes the first isolation of the ameba Balamuthia mandrillaris from an environmental soil sample associated with a fatal case of amebic encephalitis in a northern California child. Isolation of the ameba into culture from autopsied brain tissue confirmed the presence of Balamuthia: In trying to locate a possible source of infection, soil and water samples from the child's home and play areas were examined for the presence of Balamuthia: The environmental samples (plated onto nonnutrient agar with Escherichia coli as a food source) contained, in addition to the ameba, a variety of soil organisms, including other amebas, ciliates, fungi, and nematodes, as contaminants. Presumptive Balamuthia amebas were recognized only after cultures had been kept for several weeks, after they had burrowed into the agar. These were transferred through a succession of nonnutrient agar plates to eliminate fungal and other contaminants. In subsequent transfers, axenic Naegleria amebas and, later, tissue cultures (monkey kidney cells) served as the food source. Finally, the amebas were transferred to cell-free axenic medium. In vitro, the Balamuthia isolate is a slow-growing organism with a generation time of approximately 30 h and produces populations of approximately 2 x 10(5) amebas per ml. It was confirmed as Balamuthia by indirect immunofluorescence staining with rabbit anti-Balamuthia serum and human anti-Balamuthia antibody-containing serum from the amebic encephalitis patient. The environmental isolate is similar in its antimicrobial sensitivities and identical in its 16S ribosomal DNA sequences to the Balamuthia isolate from the deceased patient.

Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness, is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in sub-Saharan Africa. Current therapy with melarsoprol for CNS HAT has unacceptable side-effects with an overall mortality of 5%. This review discusses the issues of diagnosis and staging of CNS disease, its neuropathogenesis, and the possibility of new therapies for treating late-stage disease. (+info)Evaluation of five diagnostic methods for the detection and quantification of Myxobolus cerebralis. (7/48)
Diagnostic methods were used to identify and quantify Myxobolus cerebralis, a myxozoan parasite of salmonid fish. In this study, 7-week-old, pathogen-free rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were experimentally infected with M. cerebralis and at 7 months postinfection were evaluated with 5 diagnostic assays: 1) pepsin-trypsin digest (PTD) to detect and enumerate spores found in cranial cartilage, 2) 2 different histopathology grading scales that provide a numerical score for severity of microscopic lesions in the head, 3) a conventional single-round polymerase chain reaction (PCR), 4) a nested PCR assay, and 5) a newly developed quantitative real-time TaqMan PCR. There were no significant differences (P > 0.05) among the 5 diagnostic assays in distinguishing between experimentally infected and uninfected control fish. The 2 histopathology grading scales were highly correlated (P < 0.001) for assessment of microscopic lesion severity. Quantification of parasite levels in cranial tissues using PTD and real-time TaqMan PCR was significantly correlated r = 0.540 (P < 0.001). Lastly, 104 copies of the 18S rDNA gene are present in the M. cerebralis genome, a feature that makes this gene an excellent target for PCR-based diagnostic assays. Also, 2 copies of the insulin growth factor-I gene are found in the rainbow trout genome, whose detection can serve both as an internal quality control for amplifiable DNA and as a basis to quantify pathogen genome equivalents present in quantitative PCR assays. (+info)Review of clinical presentations in Thai patients with primary amoebic meningoencephalitis. (8/48)
CONTEXT: Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) is a very rare but deadly infection of the central nervous system. Since the disease was first identified in 1965, fewer than 200 cases have been observed worldwide. OBJECTIVE: The author performed a literature review of the reports of PAM in Thailand in order to study the clinical summary of PAM among Thai patients. DESIGN: This study was designed as a descriptive retrospective study. A literature review of the papers concerning PAM in Thailand was performed. RESULTS: According to this study, there have been at least 12 reports of PAM in Thailand, of which 2 cases were nonlethal. The mean age was 15.2 +/- 16.1 years with a male:female ratio of about 2:1. History of risk behaviors such as suffocation of surface water during swimming was demonstrated in 6 cases. Also, 2 interesting cases involved possible water contact according to the Thai tradition and culture. Concerning the patients' clinical features, fever, headache, impaired consciousness, and stiff neck were seen in all cases. However, some unusual presentations such as intermittent abdominal pain and convulsion were also seen in this series. Similar to worldwide findings, most cases occurred during the summer months. Most of the cases involved young males from rural provinces in various regions of Thailand. Concerning the laboratory investigation, the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profile presented the polymorphonuclear (PMN) pleomorphic with hypoglycorhachia pattern. Trophozoite could be identified in all but 2 cases in this series. CONCLUSION: PAM is sporadically reported in Thailand but remains a public health issue. The clinical diagnosis of PAM is usually difficult as many clinicians are unfamiliar with the disease. The prognosis outcome is usually grave although broad medications are prescribed. (+info)

- Early in infection when symptoms are few yet treatment has the greatest chance of success, patients are usually unaware of their infection, which remains undetected, especially as health services are usually poorly staffed and equipped or non-existent in the remote rural areas where human contact with the vector is greatest. (who.int)
- LT was not associated with depressive symptoms, frontal systems dysfunction or risk behaviors in any of the groups. (cuni.cz)
- Symptoms vary, but often affect the central nervous system. (swvhreno.com)
- Signs are consistent with central nervous system involvement, and include muscle tremors, convulsions and other central nervous system symptoms. (shibainubreeder.com)
- A consistent sign in "nervous cocci" dogs is that stimulation of any type seems to trigger the symptoms. (shibainubreeder.com)
- This medicine is not used for common flu and cold symptoms that occur due to viral infections. (drugcarts.com)
Antibodies3
- Blood can be tested for antibodies related to specific infections. (horseillustrated.com)
- Anti-platelets antibodies (APA) have been demonstrated less than a week after experimental E. canis infection of dogs. (vin.com)
- Specifically, the assays can be used to demonstrate S. neurona -specific intrathecal antibody production (i.e., antibodies produced in the central nervous system), which indicates that there is active infection. (stablemanagement.com)

Diagnosis1
- CNS infections have high morbidity and mortality, which highlights the importance of an accurate and timely diagnosis. (medlink.com)
Occur2
- Central nervous system effects of clarithromycin, beta-lactams, and fluoroquinolones occur because of their GABA-A antagonist action. (psychiatrictimes.com)
- Approximately three weeks after infection, antibody levels may be detectable on laboratory tests, however, false positives on these laboratory tests may also occur. (manchacavet.com)
Musculoskeletal system1
- Because many other body systems (including the nervous system, blood vessels, and skin) are interrelated, disorders of one of these systems may also affect the musculoskeletal system. (msdvetmanual.com)
Autonomic1
- In addition, I suffer from central and autonomic nervous system damage. (cdc.gov)
Occurs2
- Human infection usually occurs via the oral or transplacental route. (medscape.com)
- Bacterial infection occurs when bacteria enter your body and start multiplying which may cause tissue damage and make you sick. (drugcarts.com)
Neurological damage1
- Even when patients' infections are cured, neurological damage may prove irreversible. (who.int)
Congenital infection1
- Prevalence of congenital infection ranges from 0.1 to 0.3 per 1000 live births. (medscape.com)
Skeletal muscle1
- Affected organs include the gray and white matter of the brain (as shown in the images below), retinas,[3] alveolar lining of the lungs (where the infection may mimic Pneumocystis carinii infection), heart, and skeletal muscle. (medscape.com)

- Infection in the central nervous system is confirmed when the amount of antibody present in the CSF is greater than anticipated from normal passive transfer across the blood-brain barrier. (stablemanagement.com)
- Meningitis is a serious infection of the meninges in the brain or spinal cord that is most commonly viral or bacterial in origin, although fungal, parasitic, and noninfectious causes are also possible. (amboss.com)
Commonly1
- It is seen most commonly in parts of Central and South America. (lookformedical.com)
Antibody1
- Detection of high antibody titers for distemper in the CSF can provide supportive evidence of an active infection. (petplace.com)
Sepsis1
- As previously mentioned, placement of a central venous catheter for administration of pressors, fluids, antibiotics, and blood products is prudent because severely affected patients often have complications that include sepsis, shock, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). (medscape.com)
Sinus infection2
- for example, otogenic infections are associated with cerebellar and temporal abscess, while sinus infection may lead to abscess in the frontal lobes. (medscape.com)
