Arboviral Encephalitis01:25

Arboviral Encephalitis

25
Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...

Cytomegalovirus Disease

24
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...

Diphtheria01:28

Diphtheria

69
Diphtheria is an acute, toxin-mediated infectious disease that primarily affects the upper respiratory tract. It is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, a Gram-positive, pleomorphic rod that lacks spore-forming capability and exhibits a characteristic club-shaped morphology under microscopic examination. While C. diphtheriae can asymptomatically colonize mucosal surfaces, clinical disease manifests only when the bacterial strain is lysogenized by a specific β-corynephage. This phage...

    Summary

    Dengue infection during pregnancy, particularly in teenagers, can lead to severe outcomes like abortion and hemorrhagic fever. Early diagnosis and supportive care are crucial for favorable outcomes in pregnant women with dengue.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Dengue infection is increasing in Thailand, affecting adults and pregnant women, including teenagers.
    • Pregnancy can alter the presentation and severity of dengue infection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate dengue infection in pregnant women in Thailand.
    • To identify specific risks and outcomes in pregnant teenagers with dengue.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series of seven pregnant women with dengue infection admitted between 2008-2012.
    • Analysis of clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and pregnancy outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Dengue occurred in all trimesters, with severe cases including dengue hemorrhagic fever and critical illness during labor.

  • Three abortions (complete, incomplete, threatened) occurred, with two in teenage pregnancies.
  • Leukopenia and low hematocrit levels were common laboratory findings.

    • Conclusions:

    • Early diagnosis and supportive treatment are vital for managing dengue in pregnancy.
    • Teenage pregnancies with dengue may have a more severe morbidity profile.
    • Further research is needed to confirm specific clinical signs like low hematocrit and abortion rates.
