Positivity of patch tests in cutaneous reaction to diclofenac 总被引:1,自引:4,他引:1
A. Romano F. Pietrantonio M. Di Fonso A. Garcovich C. Chiarelli A. Venuti C. Barone 《Allergy》1994,49(1):57-59
Immune-mediated reactions to NSAIDs are unusual. We have observed two cases of maculopapular eruptions occurring 48–72 h after administration of diclofenac sodium. Patch tests performed with diclofenac were positive. The histopathologic findings resembled those of contact dermatitis with different degrees of dermal involvement. Clinical, allergologic, and histopathologic patterns strongly suggest a type IV mechanism of hypersensitivity. Patch tests play an important role in the assessment of possible immunologic mechanisms underlying cutaneous reactions to drugs. 相似文献

Coxiella burnetii is the bacterium that causes Q fever. Human infection is mainly transmitted from cattle, goats and sheep. The disease is usually self-limited. Pneumonia and hepatitis are the most common clinical manifestations. In this study, we present a case of Q fever from the western part of Turkey mimicking Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) in terms of clinical and laboratory findings. 相似文献

Yellow fever, a mosquito-borne flavivirus disease occurs in tropical areas of South America and Africa. It is a disease of major historical importance, but remains a threat to travelers to and residents of endemic areas despite the availability of an effective vaccine for nearly 70 years. An important aspect is the receptivity of many non-endemic areas to introduction and spread of yellow fever. This paper reviews the clinical aspects, pathogenesis, and epidemiology of yellow fever, with an emphasis on recent changes in the distribution and incidence of the disease. Recent knowledge about yellow fever 17D vaccine mechanism of action and safety are discussed. 相似文献

Background IgE-independent (pseudoallergic) reactions to food and food ingredients are common in a subgroup of adult patients with chronic urticaria, who have daily spontaneous occurrence of wheals. However, for children with chronic urticaria (duration longer than 6 weeks, no physical influence), no data on the importance of pseudoallergen-induced chronic urticaria are available. Therefore, we investigated the role of nonallergic hypersensitivity to food in all children seen with chronic continuous urticaria i n our two clinics over the last 2 years (n = 16).
Methods All patients were given a low-pseudoallergen diet for 3 weeks followed by provocation with food rich in pseudoallergens. To identify the main eliciting agents, a subgroup of responders was exposed to food additives by double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenges.
Results Pseudoallergen-induced urticaria was diagnosed in 12 cases (75%). Reactions occurred mainly to coloring agents and preservatives, but also to monosodium glutamate and a sweetener (saccharin/cyclamate).
Conclusions TTiese results confirm that nonallergic hypersensitivity reactions play a role in children with chronic urticaria, although the latter disease is rare at that age. In children, food additives, especially coloring agents and preservatives, appear to play a more important role in eliciting nonallergic hypersensitivity reactions than in adult patients, where naturally occurring pseudoallergens in fruits and vegetables are mainly responsible. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Adverse reactions to food play an important role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD). In infancy and childhood, food allergies are observed in up to 30%, whereas nonallergic hypersensitivity reactions (pseudoallergic reactions) towards food additives have been reported to occur between 2 and 7%. By contrast, sensitizations towards food allergens are rarely of clinical relevance in adults and little data is available on nonallergic hypersensitivity reactions. To date the role of pseudoallergic reactions as an aggravating factor in AD of adult patients remains controversial. However, many adult patients report on food-related aggravation of the disease and nonallergic hypersensitivity reactions have been incriminated repeatedly. OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the relevance of food additives in adult patients suffering from AD. METHODS: Fifty patients were monitored over 4 weeks under regular diet followed by 6 weeks of a diet omitting known pseudoallergens. Skin status of patients was assessed every 2 weeks by a standardized scoring, and serum eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) was determined before and after diet. RESULTS: Nine of fifty patients dropped out, 26 showed a significant improvement of the Costa-score by 57%. In 23/26 patients a corresponding reduction of serum ECP level by 52% on average was determined. Responder patients (24/26) were orally challenged with food rich in pseudoallergens followed by double-blind exposure to food additives (n = 15). A worsening of the eczema was seen in 19/24 patients after intake of pseudoallergen-rich food and in 6/15 patients after exposure to food additives. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that a subgroup of adult patients with AD clinically improve on low-pseudoallergen diet but only a small subgroup respond to oral provocation with food additives. 相似文献

Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a potentially fatal viral infection with reported case fatality rates of 5–30%. Humans become infected through tick bites, by contact with a patient with CCHF during the acute phase of infection, or by contact with blood or tissues from viraemic livestock. In this first report in the literature, we present the characteristics of three pregnant women with CCHF infection and the outcome of their babies. Transmission of the CCHF infection could be either intrauterine or perinatal. In endemic regions, CCHF infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of HELLP syndrome (haemolytic anaemia, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count), and obstetricians should be familiar with the characteristics of CCHF infection. In the aetiology of necrotising enterocolitis, CCHF should be considered. 相似文献

Q fever, caused by Coxiella burnetii, may result in abortions in infected animals and pregnant women. However, the role that Q fever plays in spontaneous abortions is still unknown. This study examined the association between Q fever serology and abortion in a region where Q fever is endemic. A case–control population-based study was conducted in General Yagüe Hospital (Burgos area, Spain) between June 2009 and July 2010. A total of 801 samples from 500 pregnant women were tested, of whom 273 had a spontaneous abortion and 227 gave birth. IgG and IgM antibody titres against Q fever were determined in their two phases (I and II) by immunofluorescence assay. Seropositivity (phase I IgG ≥1:16 or phase II IgG ≥1:80) was detected in 88/273 (32.2%) cases and 53/227 (23.3%) controls; p <0.01, OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.0–2.3. Seropositivity for both phases of IgG, compatible with recent or persistent infection, was detected in 55 (20.1%) vs 22 (9.7%); p <0.001, OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.3–3.9. High phase II IgG antibodies compatible with active or recent infection (titres ≥1:160) were detected in 27 (9.6%) vs 7 (3.1%); p <0.002, OR 3.4, 95% CI 1.4–8.0, respectively. Q fever was diagnosed in 14 (5.1%) cases. The risk of abortion associated with serological markers of active or recent Q fever in pregnant women was measurable and noticeable in this population, and accounted for 12% (95% CI 4–21%). 相似文献

We present the case of a 55-year-old female, who presented with 15 days of fever with rash, pancytopenia, and altered behavior. She was investigated for routine causes of fever with rash and multi organ dysfunction and treated for the same. As she tested negative for all routine causes of such an illness and did not show improvement to therapy, she was investigated for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and tested positive for the same. She was started on ribavirin, but eventually succumbed to her illness. This disease has rarely been reported from the Northern India and we need to have high clinical suspicion for this deadly disease so that appropriate therapy can be started in time for the patient and prophylaxis given to all inadvertently exposed. 相似文献

Dengue fever (DF) is a globally significant infection which causes a range of severe and non-severe clinical manifestations. It is transmitted by mosquitoes of the Aedes genus (primarily Aedes aegypti, but also Aedes albopictus). In this letter, a possible DF epidemic on Thasos Island in Greece, which is described in the Book of Epidemics I of the Corpus Hippocraticum, is presented and analyzed. To my knowledge, it is the first report of DF in the history of medicine. 相似文献

A single intravenous injection of pyrogenal (10 g/kg) or a culture ofBacillus
mesentericus (3·109 bacterial cells/ml/kg body weight) lowered the total blood serum cholesterol concentration on account of its ester-bound fraction and increased both the ester-bound and the free cholesterol concentrations in the liver after 3 h. After 24 h, when the normal temperature was restored, the concentrations of cholesterol and its fractions in both the serum and liver were higher than initially.Department of Pathological Physiology, I.

Hematologic dysfunction in Lassa fever 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lassa fever is widespread in West Africa, where the case fatality is about 16% in hospitalized adult patients. The clinical course is highly variable, with a few patients developing severe disease with bleeding, adult respiratory distress syndrome, encephalopathy and hypovolemic shock. We studied 70 patients admitted with suspected Lassa fever to a hospital in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Fourteen patients classified as having severe Lassa fever on the basis of serum aspartate amino transferase (AST) greater than 150 IU/L or viremia of greater than 10(3.6) tissue culture infective dose (TCID) 50/ml were found to have statistically significantly depressed lymphocyte counts when compared with patients with mild Lassa fever (AST less than 150 IU/L or viremia, less than 10(3.6)TCID50/ml), (P less than 0.0001) and with febrile control patients, in whom Lassa infection had been excluded by laboratory criteria (P less than 0.0008). Maximum depression occurred a mean of 10.9 days post onset. Patients with severe Lassa fever also had moderate thrombocytopenia, which was statistically significant when compared with febrile control patients (P less than 0.0003) and this occurred a mean of 10.8 days postonset. The most significant changes were in platelet function, which was markedly depressed in patients with severe Lassa fever (P less than 0.0035 in response to ADP and P = 0.0081 for collagen) when compared with patients with mild Lassa fever, and when compared with febrile controls, (P = 0.0013 for ADP and P less than 0.00001 for collagen). This abnormality was usually maximal on admission to hospital, and probably is an early event, preceding hospitalization in these patients.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
