Infectious and parasitic diseases

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome: diagnosis

Characteristic is the combination of an acute onset of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome with the appearance of fever and symptoms of intoxication, kidney damage with the development of acute liver failure and hemorrhagic syndrome.

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome: symptoms

Prodromal symptoms of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in the form of malaise, cognition, fatigue, subfebrile, lasting 1-3 days, observe no more than 10% of patients.

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome: causes and epidemiology

The cause of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome is arbovirus family Bunyaviridae. Of the genus Hantavirus, including about 30 serotypes, 4 of which (Hantaan, Puumala, Seul and Dobrava / Belgrad) cause a disease known as hemorrhagic fever with kidney syndrome.

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome

Hemorrhagic fevers are a polyethiologic group of acute viral zoonotic infections, united on the basis of regular development of hemorrhagic syndrome on the background of acute febrile state and characterized by intoxication and generalized vascular lesions of the microcirculatory bed with the development of thrombohemorrhagic syndrome.

Animalpox (monkeys): causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Animalpox is a group of zoonotic infectious diseases caused by viruses of the family Poxviridae and characterized by fever and vesiculose-pustular rash. Monkey pox (English monkeypox, Latin variola vimus) is an acute zoonotic natural focal viral infectious disease, common in tropical forests and savannah of the equatorial zone of Central and West Africa and characterized by intoxication, fever and vesicular-pustular rash.

Smallpox: epidemiology, pathogenesis, forms

Smallpox (Latin variola, variola major) is anthroponous. Especially dangerous viral infection with an aerosol mechanism of transmission of the pathogen, characterized by severe intoxication, a two-wave fever and vesicular-pustular exanthema and enanthema.

Epidemic parotitis (mumps)

Epidemic parotitis (mumps) is an acute anthroponotic airborne infectious disease, characterized by a predominant lesion of the salivary glands and other glandular organs (pancreas, genital glands, more often testicles, etc.), as well as the central nervous system.

Rubella: diagnosis

Treatment of typical rubella does not require prescribing. The polyarthritis shows the NSAID. With encephalitis, treatment in the ICU is recommended. Dexamethasone 1.0 mg / kg, anticonvulsants (diazepam sodium oxybate sodium thiopental), nootropics, loop diuretics, oxygen therapy, correction of homeostasis, meglumine acridon acetate (cycloferon, the efficacy of the latter is not confirmed).

Rubella: symptoms and complications

Typical forms of the disease have characteristic symptoms of rubella, are characterized by a certain cyclicity of the course of infection with a change of periods: incubation, prodromal, rash (exanthema) and convalescence.

Rubella: causes and pathogenesis

The cause of rubella is a rubella virion of spherical shape, 60-70 nm in diameter, consists of an outer shell and a nucleocapsid. The genome is formed by an unsegmented molecule + RNA. The virion is antigenically homogeneous.
