Fatal Fulminant Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Encephalitis in Immunocompetent 5.5-Year-Old Girl-A Case Report with the Review of Diagnostic and Management Dilemmas.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) usually causes mild, self-limiting, or asymptomatic infection in children, typically infectious mononucleosis. The severe course is more common in immunocompromised patients. Neurological complications of primary infection, reactivation of the latent infection, or immune-mediated are well-documented.

Accurate assessment of severity in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can optimise early management and facilitate prioritisation for high acuity care. The primary aim was to evaluate the relationship between severity of acidosis (considering pH, bicarbonate, and anion gap) and hyperosmolarity with hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included intensive care mortality, mechanical ventilation, vasopressor/inotrope use, and dialysis.

Eur J Case Rep Intern Med
October 2024
Internal Medicine Department, Unidade Local de Saúde Barcelos/Esposende, Barcelos, Portugal.
Unlabelled: Respiratory alkalosis is associated with central nervous system (CNS) diseases, drugs, lung diseases and others. Safinamide is a recent anti-parkinsonian drug with anti-dyskinetic properties and a good adjunct to L-dopa therapy during the activation period, with no significant adverse effects described. The authors present a case of a 71-year-old woman, with Parkinson's disease treated with levodopa/benserazide, safinamide, amitriptyline, sertraline and diazepam.

Electronic address:
Background: Physiological criteria are used to assess the potential severity of injury in the early phase of a trauma patient's care trajectory. Few studies have described the extent of abnormality in vital signs and different combinations of these at a national level. Aim of the study was to identify physiologic abnormalities in trauma patients and describe different combinations of abnormalities and changes between the pre-hospital and emergency department (ED) settings.

Postural hyperventilation has been implicated as a cause of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), yet the precise mechanisms underlying the heightened breathing response remain unclear. This study challenges current hypotheses by revealing that exaggerated peripheral chemoreceptor activity is not the primary driver of postural hyperventilation. Instead, significant contributions from reduced stroke volume and compromised brain perfusion during orthostatic stress were identified.
