We present the first reported instance of transient dermatographism occurring within 18 hours after birth in an otherwise healthy term newborn. The infant’s dermatographism resolved without intervention or sequelae, and this report provides guidance for the clinician to follow when presented with similar presentations
Bronkiolitis adalah infeksi saluran napas bawah pada bayi yang umumnya disebabkan oleh infeksi Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), ditandai dengan gejala peradangan akut, edema, dan nekrosis dinding sel epitel saluran napas kecil disertai peningkatan produksi mukus. Rendahnya kadar vitamin D turut berperan dalam perkembangan penyakit ini. Gejala dan tanda umumnya dimulai dari batuk dan pilek, da…
Bronchiolitis is the most common lower respiratory tract infection in children. The condition forms part of the spectrum of viral lower respiratory tract infection that includes bronchiolitis, viral pneumonia, and viral-induced wheeze. In polar hemispheres (north and south), bronchiolitis is a seasonal disease, dominating winter months, with a peak over 6 to 8 weeks around the winter solstice. …
To investigate the temporal trend in the national incidence of bronchiolitis abstract hospitalizations, their characteristics, inpatient resource use, and hospital cost from 2000 through 2016.
Ischaemic heart disease (IHD), in particular acute coronary syndrome (ACS), comprising ST-elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST- elevation myocardial infarction and unstable angina, is the leading cause of death worldwide. Age is a major predictor of adverse outcome following ACS
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), represents the pandemic of the century, with approximately 3.5 million cases and 250,000 deaths worldwide as of May 2020. Although respiratory symptoms usually dominate the clinical presentation, COVID-19 is now known to also have potentially serious cardiovascular consequences, in…
Post-mortem swabs for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA detection have been recommended by several Scientific Committees and Institutions as a standard procedure for post-mortem assessment of potential Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) related deaths. To date there is no data about the SARS-CoV-2 RNA detectability period in human bodies after death. The present ca…
The persistence of SARS-CoV-2 after death of infected individuals is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in different organs in correlation with tissue damage and post-mortemviral dynamics in COVID- 19 deceased. Twenty-eight patients (17 males, 11 females; age 66–96 years; mean 82.9, median 82.5 years) diagnosed with COVID-19 were studied. Swabs…
We previously reported that vaccination with the tetravalent dengue vaccine (CYD-TDV; Dengvaxia) may bias the diagnosis of dengue based on immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) assessments.
Dengue viruses (DENVs) form dengue complex in genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae, and consists of four antigenically related but distinct DENV serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4). These DENV can cause a spectrum of illness ranging from asymptomatic dengue infection to dengue fever (DF) to dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) to dengue shock syndrome (DSS). It is estimated that …
