Congenital trypanosomiasis in a child born in London / S. LINGAM in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 27-5 (October 1985)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 27-5 (October 1985) . - 670-674 Titre : Congenital trypanosomiasis in a child born in London Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : S. LINGAM, Auteur ; J. WILSON, Auteur ; W. C. MARSHALL, Auteur ; J. M. GOULD, Auteur ; M. C. REINHARDT, Auteur ; D. A. EVANS, Auteur Année de publication : 1985 Article en page(s) : 670-674 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A female infant of 22 months was referred to the Hospital for Sick Children, London, because of delayed psychomotor development. Extensive investigations revealed no cause, but eventually trypanosomiasis was diagnosed. The infant had not been outside the UK, but her mother came from Zaire, where the disease is endemic, but had lived in Kinshasa, where there is no sleeping sickness. It is thought, that the mother may have been asymptomatically infected by a fresh-blood transfusion four years earlier, since no other source of infection was apparent.

Involvement of the central nervous system in congenital muscular dystrophies / Jos EGGER in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 25-1 (February 1983)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 25-1 (February 1983) . - p.32-42 Titre : Involvement of the central nervous system in congenital muscular dystrophies Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jos EGGER, Auteur ; Magda ERDOHAZI, Auteur ; Brian E. KENDALL, Auteur ; B. D. LAKE, Auteur ; J. WILSON, Auteur ; E. M. BRETT, Auteur Année de publication : 1983 Article en page(s) : p.32-42 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Three children, two siblings and one unrelated child, with congenital muscular dystrophy with central nervous system (CNS) involvement are discussed. The siblings appeared to suffer from a relatively mild myopathy with progressive brain disease, of which brain biopsy in one showed astrocytic proliferation in the white matter. In the patient with severe muscle disease, autopsy showed widespread patchy demyelination in the white matter and developmental abnormalities in the cerebral and cerebellar cortex. These patients differ from the Japanese (Fukuyama) cases of CMD in the severity of the changes in the cerebral white matter, and from Santavuori's cases in the absence of ocular abnormalities and hydrocephalus. Their unique nosology is discussed.

Multiple sclerosis in childhood: a new look / A. BYE in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 27-2 (April 1985)

BYE, Auteur ; Brian E. KENDALL, Auteur ; J. WILSON, Auteur Année de publication : 1985 Article en page(s) : p.215-222 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Five patients (four female, one male) with multiple sclerosis were managed at the Hospital for Sick Children, London, between January 1978 and June 1983. The age at which first symptoms occurred varied from three to 14 years. Focal seizures occurred in three cases and an encephalopathic process in three cases, and there was evidence of progressive intellectual deterioration in all five children. Computed tomography showed low-density lesions in the white matter of all five. Electroencephalograms were abnormal in all cases, and in two the disturbance was severe. Oligoclonal bands were present in the cerebrospinal fluid of two children. Four of the five children had abnormal responses to pattern-reversal stimulus.

Use of interferon in the management of patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis / A. BYE in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 27-2 (April 1985)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 27-2 (April 1985) . - p.170-175 Titre : Use of interferon in the management of patients with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : A. BYE, Auteur ; J. WILSON, Auteur ; F. BALKWILL, Auteur ; D. BRIDGEN, Auteur Année de publication : 1985 Article en page(s) : p.170-175 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Six patients (five male, one female) with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis were treated with purified lymphoblastoid interferon, using a combination of intravenous and lumbar intrathecal routes. The first symptoms of the disorder occurred between seven and 16 years of age, and the length of the illness before treatment varied from 1 1/2 to 12 months. All six patients were in the first clinical stage of the disorder. After a limited period of follow-up there has been no clinical improvement. Nil or low levels of interferon were found in CSF two hours after intravenous injection, but CSF levels of interferon were maintained for at least 24 hours after intrathecal injections. Side-effects of interferon included pyrexial reactions, especially after high-dose intravenous therapy (six), lethargy (four), a transient rise in blood pressure (two) and a reduction in platelet count (six). Staphylococcus epidermidis was grown from the CSF of one patient.
