Liver Failure

Small liver failure, which the British call "torpid liver", and Carriere calls "petit hepatisme", can be, especially in the initial stages, a purely transient moment: it is found in infectious diseases (typhoid fever, dysentery, flu), then it can be observed during attacks of hepatic colic, or after them, sometimes this insufficiency is noted with catarrhal jaundice.Liver failure is noted with chloroform anesthesia, with some transient poisoning, especially arsenic.It is observed in persons with a weak liver inherited, it happens quite often in children, as well as in women, during pregnancy.

On-line hemodiafiltration (OLHDF) is one of the treatment options in the management of acute liver failure (ALF) in Japan. It is essential to avoid infection in the management of ALF. In fact, infection is one of the prognostic factors in ALF. In this report, we present a middle-aged Japanese man with ALF associated with benzbromarone use. He was successfully managed without infection until liver transplantation by creating an arteriovenous fistula for OLHDF. Utilizing an arteriovenous fistula for OLHDF, rather than inserting a vascular access catheter, is a beneficial option to avoid infectious diseases in the management of ALF.

We describe a febrile adult returning to the U.S. from Nigeria. Malaria was diagnosed by rapid antigen testing, but recognition of invasive nontyphoidal Salmonella disease was delayed. While the moniker, “typhomalaria,” once used to describe an illness with features of malaria and typhoid fever, has fallen out of favor, it may nevertheless be a helpful reminder to clinicians that both infectious diseases can arise in the same patient. Blood cultures should be obtained routinely in febrile returning travelers from malaria-endemic regions, including those in whom the diagnosis of malaria has already been established.

Concurrent Infections

Infectious diseases are one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Sometimes concurrent infections with multiple infectious agents may occur in one patient, which make the diagnosis and management a challenging task. The authors here present a case of co-infection of typhoid fever with dengue fever in a ten-year-old child and discuss the pertinent issues. The authors emphasize that the risk factors predicting the presence of such co-infections, if developed, will be immensely useful in areas where dengue outbreak occurs in the background of high transmission of endemic infections.

Abstract Diarrhea, typhoid fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are environmentalbased infectious diseases that contribute to the mortality rate of humans. This paper investigates the spatial distribution and the infectious disease epidemic that occurs based on environmental factors. The three primary diseases analyzed were diarrhea, typhoid fever, and dengue hemorrhagic fever. We abstracted data from several sources, including administrative maps, Regional Spatial Planning, BAPPEDA Soppeng Regency, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Public Health Centre, RBI Maps, and National DEM. The tool used in this research is a computer equipped with ArcGIS. The analysis documented that the trend of the three primary diseases did not represent a consistent decline in three consecutive years and even increased in certain subdistricts. Spatial data shows that the spread of infectious diseases based on the incidence rate is still dominated at low levels, although medium and high IR categories are also found in several areas in The Soppeng district. This paper proposes information for local government to implement health development planning and programs, particularly preventing and treating infectious diseases in Soppeng District.

Paratyphoid Fever

The question of septic diseases is of twofold interest in the conditions of an infectious diseases hospital. On the one hand, the number of these diseases has shown in recent years in all countries a desire for steady growth, and medical thought cannot but pay attention to this. On the other hand, a significant number of unrecognized cases of sepsis with suspected typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, typhus, meningitis and other diseases are constantly received in questionable departments of infectious diseases hospitals. Establishing the correct diagnosis in these patients is often associated with great difficulties.

The City

The events in the late XIX — early XX centuries in Western Siberia, where the population survived several epidemics of cholera, typhus and typhoid fever, measles and other infectious diseases, are considered. It is noted that the sad result of the outbreak of many infections was the high epidemic mortality of the population. The activity of municipal authorities on the prevention and control of the spread of widespread diseases, the prevention of high mortality among the sick is being studied. The anti-epidemic measures taken by local authorities are analyzed: an increase in expenditures for urban improvement; the publication of mandatory sanitary regulations; creation of medical and sanitary executive commissions; division of the city territory into sections and assignment of sanitary guardians to them; arrangement of bacteriological laboratories, infectious barracks and disinfection chambers; health education of the population. The conclusion is made about positive changes in the prevention and treatment of a number of infectious diseases, the organization of sanitary supervision over the state of water supply sources, places of sale of food, the maintenance of garbage and cesspools, the dumping of sewage on strictly designated areas. At the same time, attention is drawn to the persistence of high epidemic mortality (especially infant mortality) due to the low standard of living of most of the townspeople, malnutrition, poor development of hygiene skills, lack of awareness of the causes and methods of treating diseases.

Anatomical Changes

The present communication has for its object to bring before the Royal Society the results of an experimental inquiry into the etiology of an infectious disease of the pig, known as Hog Plague, Mai Rouge, Red Soldier, Malignant Erysipelas, or also Typhoid Fever of the Pig. There are English and continental writers who describe the disease as Anthrax or Splenic Fever of the Pig. I shall show, however, conclusively, in my Report to the Medical Officer of the Local Government Board, that it is neither typhoid fever nor anthrax, but is an infectious disease of its own kind, which I propose to call “Infectious Pneumo-Enteritis of the Pig” ( Pneumo-enteritis contagiosa ). Like other infectious diseases, the “Pneumo-Enteritis” possesses an incubation period, followed by constitutional disturbance and certain anatomical changes. These latter are invariably affections of the lung, of the intestine, and of the lymphatic glands, not only of those of the organs of respiration and alimentation, but also those of the inguinal and lumbar regions. In the lung the changes are those known to pathologists as lobular pneumonia. In the alimentary canal the mucous membrane of the large intestine is chiefly affected, being the seat of smaller or larger ulcerations. There is generally also inflammation of the serous membranes, especially the peritoneum, leading to an exudation of lymph into the serous cavity. The skin is occasionally affected with greater or smaller red patches.
