I've heard the term "anaphylactoid" applied to contrast agent reactions. What is the difference between this and "anaphylactic"? The termanaphylaxisrefers to an acute allergic reaction to a drug, food, or other foreign material (theallergen). Clinical characteristics include involvement of the skin...

13 CSF cultures and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays are useful in trying to determine the causative agent. However, a specific virus is implicated less than 50% of the time.14 Although mentioned in the 2013 International Encephalitis Consortium, autoimmune encephalitis was not recognized as ...

Finally, the continuous chronicinjuryand repair process in the airways is characterized by changes in the composition, quantity, and structure of cells and molecules referred to as ...
Fungi contribute tosinusitisin two ways.Invasive fungal infectionsaffectingimmunocompromised hosts, such as patients withneutropenia, diabetes mellitus and AIDS are discussed in Chapter 178. In contrast,allergic fungal sinusitisis believed to be an allergic reaction to aerosolized environmental fungi, includ...
People with a history of allergic-like reactions to iodinated contrast media, which is used in a variety of X-ray-based procedures, such as CT and angiography, are susceptible to similar reactions from commonly used MRI contrast agents, according to a large, eight-year study published in the ...
Where such an allergic reaction possibility is identified, there are a number of steps that may be taken to manage or mitigate the risk of a severe reaction to the substance being used. Such steps may include the selection of an another appropriate contrast medium or using other imaging or di...
