Infection as cause of stroke: a contagious idea that may explain racial disparity.

Abstract:

:In the aftermath of an acute cardiovascular event such as stroke, patients and families frequently ask whether preceding circumstances such as viral illnesses, stress, and other medical or surgical events brought on the disease. Although it seems intuitive to patients and families that acute precipitants or disease triggers play a substantial role, the evidence to support this concept has accumulated slowly.(1,2) Support for acute systemic infection as a trigger of stroke, a particularly interesting hypothesis, continues to grow.(3) The potential mechanisms underlying such a relationship include systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and activation of the clotting system by infectious organisms or the systemic response to them.(4,5).

  • Spectrum of SCN1A mutations in severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy.

    abstract:OBJECTIVES:SCN1A mutations were recently reported in several patients with severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (SMEI). The authors analyzed SCN1A mutations in 93 patients with SMEI and made genotype-phenotype correlation to clarify the role of this gene in the etiology of SMEI.
