Tick-borne encephalitis in children has a benign course with minimal sequelae. Meningitis with biphasic course is the prevalent involvement and the duration of IgM antibodies in serum and index of positivity are not decisive for postencephalitic disorders.
MRZ reaction was proved as statistically significant marker in differential diagnosis between MS and NB. Typical CSF variables profile of these two entities is highly supportive, especially when MRZ is included.
Fifteen lactic acid bacterial strains were isolated from blood cultures from 15 different patients in the Faculty Hospital in Brno, Czech Republic. All strains were identified using biochemical tests and repetitive PCR using the (GTG)5 primer. Doubtful identification results were confirmed by whole-cell protein analysis. The strains were assigned to the genera Lactobacillus (eight strains representing seven species), Leuconostoc (six strains representing four species) and Weissella (one strain). Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using the E-test and revealed high-level resistance to cotrimoxazol, metronidazole, vancomycin and teicoplanin, but nearly all strains were susceptible to erythromycin, clindamycin, ampicillin and penicillin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
