13. Transverse myelitis caused by varicella zoster: case reports
Transverse myelitis is a group of disorders characterized by focal inflammation of the spinal cord and results in loss of motor and sensory function below the level of injury. Occurrence of this condition during or following varicella infection is uncommon. This report describes two cases of transverse myelitis caused by varicella zoster.

14. Study on the occurence of spinal cord neuroschistosomiasis mansoni in a low prevalence area (Campinas, SP, Brazil) / Investigação sobre a ocorrencia de eaquistossomose mansonica medular autoctonse em uma região com baixa endemicidade (Campinas - SP)
Os programas de controle da esquistossomose têm obtido relativo sucesso ao controlar a morbidade relacionada a altas cargas parasitárias desta doença, sem, no entanto, diminuir a área de transmissão no Brasil. Como a neuroesquistossomose medular á uma forma grave de esquistossomose não relacionada a altas cargas parasitárias existe risco teórico de

IntroduÃÃo: A esquistossomose à considerada um problema de saÃde pÃblica mundial, sendo endÃmica em aproximadamente 74 paÃses e acometendo cerca de 200 milhÃes de pessoas. Das formas clÃnicas consideradas como ectÃpicas da infecÃÃo pelo Schistossoma mansoni, o acometimento do sistema nervoso à a mais freqÃente, tendo na medula, o sÃtio de pred

16. Neurolisteriosis en adultos: a propósito de seis casos clínicos
INTROCTION: Listeria monocytogenes shows a special attraction to infect the central nervous system and its meningeals coats. It affects newborn as well as elderly people, patients with deficiencies in their cellular inmune systems, and healthy adults. It presents most commonly as an acute meningitis, although it can present itself as cerebritis, brain stem e

17. Involvement of central nervous system in the schistosomiasis
The involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) by schistosomes may or may not determine clinical manifestations. When symptomatic, neuroschistosomiasis (NS) is one of the most severe presentations of schistosomal infection. Considering the symptomatic form, cerebral involvement is almost always due to Schistosoma japonicum and the spinal cord disease, c

18. Chronic, relapsing myelitis in hamsters associated with experimental measles virus infection.
Chronic, relapsing myelitis has been induced in golden Syrian hamsters by the intracerebral inoculation of measles virus when the animals were less than 1 day old. No acute illness was seen in animals that developed myelitis, and the onset of the myelitis was at 5 to 50 weeks after infection. In most animals the illness was slowly progressive, with hindquart

19. Persistent Multiple Pulmonary Nodules in a Nonimmunocompromised Woman after Varicella-Related Myelitis Treated with Acyclovir
Persistent multiple pulmonary nodules were observed on the chest X ray of a nonimmunocompromised woman 6 months after she was treated with acyclovir for a varicella-related myelitis without respiratory symptoms. Early antiviral therapy given for varicella infections might decrease the intensity of clinical symptoms without actually preventing the occurrence

20. Detection of varicella-zoster virus DNA using the polymerase chain reaction in an immunocompromised patient with transverse myelitis secondary to herpes zoster.
A case of herpes zoster transverse myelitis is described in which the clinical diagnosis was confirmed by demonstrating the presence of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by amplification using the polymerase chain reaction. This case illustrates the potential role of the selective amplification of VZV DNA from CSF in contribut
