1. Avaliação clínica de crianças de 0 a 36 meses com febre sem sinais localizatórios / Clinical evaluation of children from 0 to 36 months with fever without source
Introduction: Fever without localizing signs is defined as the presence of fever of up to 7 days duration, without identifying the cause after history and physical examination. Most of these children presented self-limited acute infectious disease or is in the prodromal phase of a benign infectious disease. Few have serious bacterial infection: occult bacter

2. Meningoencefalitis amebiana primaria: comunicacion de dos nuevos casos Venezolanos
Primary amebic menigoencephalitis (PAM) is rare. Two cases of PAM in Venezuelan patients are described. Case 1, a 10 year-old male with headache, fever, vomiting. The patient swam in a water reservoir before the onset of his disease. He died during his third hospital day. Case 2, a 23 year-old male with a history of headache, fever, vomiting, drowsiness, and

3. Comportamento da meningite bacteriana neonatal de acordo com o peso de nascimento / Course of neonatal bacterial meningitis according to birth weight
A meningite bacteriana no período neonatal é uma doença grave, associada à mortalidade elevada e seqüelas em cerca de 12 a 29% dos sobreviventes. Nos recém-nascidos com peso ao nascimento <2500 g, o risco de adquirir meningite é três vezes superior àqueles com peso >= 2500 g e, entre neonatos de muito baixo peso (<1500 g), o risco é 17 vezes maior.

4. Papel da colonoscopia com magnificação de imagem associada à cromoscopia no diagnóstico diferencial entre lesões neoplásicas e não-neoplásicas do intestino grosso / Course of neonatal bacterial meningitis according to birth weight
O Câncer colorretal (CCR) é um problema de saúde importante devido a sua incidência e mortalidade elevadas. O rastreamento e o diagnóstico precoce são a principal estratégia para diminuir a mortalidade pelo CCR. A colonoscopia convencional (CC), constitui o melhor método para o diagnóstico precoce do CCR e para o diagnóstico e tratamento das lesõe

5. Two family members with a syndrome of headache and rash caused by human parvovirus B19
Human parvovirus B19 infection can cause erythema infectiosum (EI) and several other clinical presentations. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is rare, and only a few reports of encephalitis and aseptic meningitis have been published. Here, we describe 2 cases of B19 infection in a family presenting different clinical features. A 30 year old female wi

6. Treatment of bacterial meningitis with ceftizoxime.
Ceftizoxime was evaluated in the treatment of 18 patients (6 adults and 12 children) with bacterial meningitis. In seven patients Haemophilus influenzae was the causative agent, in three Neisseria meningitidis, in five Streptococcus pneumoniae, and in one each alpha-streptococcus and Escherichia coli; one case was culture negative. Ceftizoxime was administer

7. Pharmacokinetics and bacteriological efficacy of cefoperazone, ceftriaxone, and moxalactam in experimental Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae meningitis.
The pharmacokinetics and bacteriological efficacy of cefoperazone, cefuroxime, ceftriaxone, and moxalactam were evaluated in the experimental rabbit meningitis model of Haemophilus influenzae type b or Streptococcus pneumoniae infection. The cerebrospinal fluid penetration of these beta-lactam antibiotics was from 3 to 14% and was greater in Haemophilus-infe

8. Evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid lactic acid levels as an aid in differential diagnosis of bacterial and viral meningitis in adults.
The level of lactic acid in cerebrospinal fluid has been suggested as a useful diagnostic parameter to differentiate between bacterial and viral meningitis, especially in patients partially treated before admission to hospital. A concentration of greater than or equal to 35 mg/dl, determined by either gas-liquid chromatography or an enzymatic method, has bee

9. Production of bacteremia and meningitis in infant rats with group B streptococcal serotypes.
Group B streptococcal strains, representing the five major serotypes, were inoculated into infant rats by intranasal, oral, and intraperitoneal routes. Bacteremia regularly followed injection by the intraperitoneal route. Four strains (three of type III) isolated from human cerebrospinal fluid appeared more virulent for 5-day-old rats. Injection of fewer tha

10. Role of type 1 and S fimbriae in the pathogenesis of Escherichia coli O18:K1 bacteremia and meningitis in the infant rat.
The role of fimbriae in the pathogenesis of Escherichia coli infection was studied in the infant rat model. Rat pups were challenged intraperitoneally at the age of 5 days with E. coli K1 (strain IH3080, O18:K1:H7) and three different subpopulations (type 1, type S, or nonfimbriated) of it. All bacterial subpopulations were able to produce peritonitis, bacte

11. Enzyme immunoassay for detection of pneumococcal antigen in cerebrospinal fluid.
A solid-phase immunoassay utilizing horse antiserum against the C polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae and biotinylated rabbit antibodies to type-specific pneumococcal polysaccharides was developed to detect pneumococcal antigens in human body fluids and in broth cultures. Pneumococcal antigen could be detected in broth cultures of serotypes of S. pneu

12. Pathogenesis and pathophysiology of bacterial meningitis.
Bacterial meningitis remains a disease with associated unacceptable morbidity and mortality rates despite the availability of effective bactericidal antimicrobial therapy. Through the use of experimental animal models of infection, a great deal of information has been gleaned concerning the pathogenic and pathophysiologic mechanisms operable in bacterial men
