In viral meningitis, proinflammatory cytokines were detected at higher levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and might play an important role inflammatory process. Our goal was to compare cytokine profiles CSF of children enteroviral meningitis (EVM) with versus without pleocytosis. total, 158 patients enrolled this prospective cohort study classified as EVM (group-A, n = 101), nonenteroviral aseptic (group-B, 27), control (group-C, 30) groups. Of 101 EVM, 71 had pleocytosis (group-A1) 30...
Hyperbilirubinemia, which is a sign of hemolytic disease the newborn (HDN), can irreversibly damage central nervous system. To determine etiology HDN in affected patients and characterize changing pattern bilirubin using direct antiglobulin testing (DAT). We collected clinical data from newborns who underwent perinatal DAT their mothers, between August 2008 July 2017. Among 303 neonates, 37 (12.2%) showed positive results. The predictive values (PPVs) negative (NPVs) based on results were...
In pregnant women, the frequency of irregular antibodies that cause hemolytic disease fetus and newborn (HDFN) vary between study populations. The clinical manifestations HDFN differ according to specificities degree antibodies. This examined nature maternal alloimmunization neonatal outcomes.
Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction is difficult to prevent using an unexpected antibody test performed prior transfusion, and unlike acute reaction, it occurs a few days after blood transfusion. Hence, determining the reason for delayed may be tim-consuming task clinicians Here, we report our experience of two cases as result production Rh group antigens The first patient with history during admission was identified having anti-E anti-C antibodies according identification at time...
Background Urine culture is one of the most frequently requested tests in microbiology. Automated urine analyzers yield much infection-related information. The Sysmex UF-5000 analyzer (Sysmex, Japan) a new flow cytometry capable quantifying urinary particles, including bacteria, WBCs, and yeast-like cells (YLCs) can provide Gram stainability flag. In this work, we evaluated how many unnecessary cultures could be screened out using UF-5000. Methods We compared results 126 samples among 453...
Infective endocarditis caused by Abiotrophia defectiva is rarely encountered. A 67-year-old male transferred from a local hospital presented with severe dyspnea and pulmonary edema. Preoperative transthoracic echocardiography revealed mitral regurgitation large vegetation. Blood cultures grew A. defectiva, gram positive, nutritionally deficient streptococcus variant. Emergent valve replacement through right thoracotomy was performed, after completing six weeks of antibiotic combination...
Blood transfusion is important when treating patients with anemia or bleeding; thus, supply of blood components should be stable prior to transfusion. To recruit donors, donation sites conveniently located. This study evaluated factors responsible for increased rates in hospitals and the characteristics donors hospital banks without a fixed collection site nearby.
Phlebotomy is used to maintain hematocrit levels <45% prevent polycythemia-related thrombotic events. However, guidelines for the phlebotomy intervals are lacking. Therefore, we analyzed post-phlebotomy changes in and determined optimal patients with polycythemia.
Blood transfusions are complicated procedures, and highly sensitive to mistakes that could seriously endanger the life of patients. The failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) can be used inspect improve high risk processes. Here, we aimed identify factors a blood transfusion process its safety by optimizing process.
