Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in a patient with Goodpasture's syndrome: a rare clinical association.

Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening clinical syndrome. HLH can occur in the setting of an autoimmune disease, chronic immunosuppression, malignancy, and infection. We discuss a rare case of a young woman who was diagnosed with Goodpasture's syndrome that was most likely complicated by HLH.

Auditory event-related potentials (P300) in the identification of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures.

The feasibility and conceivable value of postictal event-related potential (ERP) recordings were studied in patients with nonepileptic seizures (NES) admitted for long-term video/EEG monitoring. Ten patients with NES underwent preictal (on hospital admission) and postictal (< or =6 hours after seizure) ERP recordings of an auditory oddball paradigm. Additionally, 10 temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients with partial seizures and secondary generalization underwent preictal, postictal (< 6 hours after seizures), and interictal (7-48 hours after seizure) ERP recordings.

The localizing value of auditory event-related potentials (P300) in patients with medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy.

The localizing value of postictal versus interictal event-related potentials (ERPs) was studied in patients with medically intractable TLE admitted for long-term video EEG monitoring. Ten patients with partial seizures and secondary generalization underwent preictal (upon hospital admission), postictal ( View Article and Find Full Text PDF
