1/12. Juvenile hemangioma (infantile hemangioendothelioma) of the parotid gland associated with cytomegalovirus infection.A case of parotid juvenile hemangioma associated with cytomegalovirus infection is reported. A growing lobulated mass, measuring 30 x 20 mm, was extirpated from the left parotid gland in a 4-month-old male. Histologically, the tumor consisted of cellular plump endothelial cells, stromal cells and residual ductal and acinar elements of the parotid gland. Numerous intranuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions were observed in the ductal cells of the whole parenchymal part of the parotid gland and the residual part of the tumor. Immunohistochemically, some nuclei of the ductal cells possessing these inclusions were positive for the anti-cytomegalovirus antibody but there were no positive findings in the endothelial or stromal cells. Although the present lesion may suggest that the human cytomegalovirus plays some role in the etiology of juvenile hemangioma, it is unknown whether or not this association is incidental.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = virus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/12. Acute parotitis due to dengue virus.Acute bilateral parotitis is a common clinical feature of various infectious and autoimmune, metabolic, and drug-related conditions. We describe a unique case of bilateral inflammatory enlargement of the parotid glands in an immunocompetent patient with dengue fever. Evidence of dengue virus in the saliva is also provided for the first time.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = virus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/12. Case report of meningoencephalitis during a concomitant mumps and parvovirus B19 infection.A 19-year-old, immunologically healthy man suffered from prolonged and intermittent high fever, left parotitis, systemic lymph node swelling, progressive liver dysfunction and leukocytopenia. 11 days after the fever onset, consciousness disturbance and generalized convulsion occurred. By the administration of gamma-globulin and steroid, the patient recovered completely. serum titers of IgG and IgM specific for both human parvovirus B19 and mumps were elevated, and parvovirus B19 dna was identified in the serum. It was speculated that overlap infection of mumps and parvovirus B19 made the disease more severe in this patient.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = virus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/12. priapism: an unusual complication of parotitis without orchitis.A 10-year-old white boy is described in whom priapism developed as a complication of parotitis without orchitis. Medical study failed to reveal any other etiology. The syndrome was assumed to be related to a mumps virus. Treatment by corpora cavernosa-spongiosum shunt relieved the acute symptoms as well as preserved the patient's ability to have an erection.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = virus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/12. Sudden cardiac death in a 5-year-old girl associated with parvovirus B19 infection.We report on a 5-year-old girl who suddenly collapsed and died while dancing at a family party. Histological examination of the heart including the cardiac conduction system revealed lymphocytic infiltrations of the sinu-atrial node and perivascular infiltration in the atrio-ventricular region. Additionally, foci of mononuclear infiltrates were observed in the myocardium. Consequently, myocarditis was diagnosed as cause of death. The child also had lymphocytic conjunctivis, parotitis and tracheitis. Evaluation of infections by means of nested polymerase chain reaction revealed parvovirus B19 dna (PVB19) in tissue samples of the trachea.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = virus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/12. A 16-month-old boy with infectious mononucleosis, parotitis and Bell's palsy.The case of a 16-month-old boy with infectious mononucleosis who developed bilateral parotitis and unilateral Bell's palsy is presented. The diagnosis was confirmed by the development of specific antibodies for various Epstein-Barr virus antigens typical of primary Epstein-Barr virus infection. Serological tests for other viruses were negative. The Bell's palsy subsided within three months, while the clinical signs of infectious mononucleosis and parotitis persisted for three weeks.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.42857142857143keywords = virus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/12. Mumps arthritis: a review of the literature.Arthropathy is an unusual but significant complication of mumps viral infection. Predominantly affecting young adult males, large and small joint involvement occur before, after, or in the absence of parotitis. fever, leukocytosis, and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate accompany an occasionally protracted course. A high incidence of associated visceral manifestations occurs among patients with mumps arthritis. A review of the pathogenesis of these other complications suggests direct viral invasion as the most likely pathogenesis of mumps arthritis. The possibility of mumps virus arthritis should be considered in patients with acute-onset, obscure, or febrile seronegative arthritis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = virus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/12. Pneumococcal parotitis and cervical lymph node abscesses in an hiv-infected patient.The case of a 33-year-old patient with rapid onset of bilateral parotid gland and lymph node abscesses is described. The patient was positive for human immunodeficiency virus 1 and presented with a history of interstitial lymphocytic pneumonia and pneumococcal meningitis prior to admission. The patient received cotrimoxazole as primary prophylaxis against pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. Fine needle aspiration from the abscesses yielded streptococcus pneumoniae. penicillin g treatment in combination with surgical drainage of the lesions led to healing with minimal residual lymph node enlargement. No relapse was noted until 12 months after presentation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = virus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/12. Parainfluenza virus type 2 meningitis and parotitis in an 11-year-old child.We describe the case of an 11-year-old Bolivian boy with parotitis and aseptic meningitis to demonstrate that parainfluenza virus type 2 can cause disseminated infection in a normal child. Parainfluenza virus type 2 was isolated from nasopharyngeal and CSF specimens from the patient and was confirmed to be parainfluenza virus type 2 by hemadsorption inhibition and by complement fixation. Parainfluenza virus type 2 may cause aseptic meningitis and parotitis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2275.3006187075keywords = parainfluenza virus, parainfluenza, virus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/12. Adenovirus parotitis in patients with AIDS.Adenoviruses are well documented as opportunistic pathogens in patients with immunocompromising conditions, including human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection. We recently diagnosed adenovirus infection of the parotid gland in two patients with AIDS. Viral cultures and electron microscopic examinations of parotid tissue were positive in both cases. Adenovirus infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of parotid swelling in hiv-infected patients.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.1428571428571keywords = virus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
