Hemofiltration in severe septic adult respiratory distress syndrome associated with varicella. 1985

L Gotloib, and E Barzilay, and A Shustak, and Z Waiss, and A Lev

One case of severe varicella pneumonia with high microvascular permeability pulmonary edema and signs of multiple system organ disfunction was successfully treated by means of hemofiltration. The patient was discharged from the Intensive Care Unit 6 days after admission. Peptides showing molecular weight ranging between 600 (prostaglandins) and 4000 (B-endorphin) daltons were cleared from blood at the same rate as urea. Hemofiltration appears to be a valuable tool for treating septic ARDS.

D002644 Chickenpox A highly contagious infectious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (HERPESVIRUS 3, HUMAN). It usually affects children, is spread by direct contact or respiratory route via droplet nuclei, and is characterized by the appearance on the skin and mucous membranes of successive crops of typical pruritic vesicular lesions that are easily broken and become scabbed. Chickenpox is relatively benign in children, but may be complicated by pneumonia and encephalitis in adults. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Varicella,Chicken Pox

D014462 Ultrafiltration The separation of particles from a suspension by passage through a filter with very fine pores. In ultrafiltration the separation is accomplished by convective transport; in DIALYSIS separation relies instead upon differential diffusion. Ultrafiltration occurs naturally and is a laboratory procedure. Artificial ultrafiltration of the blood is referred to as HEMOFILTRATION or HEMODIAFILTRATION (if combined with HEMODIALYSIS).
