["Late onset disease" (congenital german measles) (author's transl)]. 1978

H M Grubbauer, and M Borkenstein, and H Wendler

The paper reports on a case of "late onset disease" (congenital German measles). Diagnostically significant for this disease in an infant appearing perfectly healthy when new-born, were mainly the findings of an interstitial pneumonia, hepatosplenomegaly, as well as findings indicating the presence of a meningoencephalitis and retinopathy. The diagnosis of this rare course of congenital German measles was finally established via the identification of specific IgM rubeola antibodies, of a raised hemagglutination inhibition titer, and of the German measles virus itself. An attempt to treat the interstitial pneumonia with cortisone preparations remained unsuccessful. The clinical and diagnostic problem complexes are discussed briefly.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM

D008297 Male Males
D008590 Meningoencephalitis An inflammatory process involving the brain (ENCEPHALITIS) and meninges (MENINGITIS), most often produced by pathogenic organisms which invade the central nervous system, and occasionally by toxins, autoimmune disorders, and other conditions. Cerebromeningitis,Encephalomeningitis,Cerebromeningitides,Encephalomeningitides,Meningoencephalitides
D011658 Pulmonary Fibrosis A process in which normal lung tissues are progressively replaced by FIBROBLASTS and COLLAGEN causing an irreversible loss of the ability to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream via PULMONARY ALVEOLI. Patients show progressive DYSPNEA finally resulting in death.

D006385 Hemagglutination Inhibition Tests Serologic tests in which a known quantity of antigen is added to the serum prior to the addition of a red cell suspension. Reaction result is expressed as the smallest amount of antigen which causes complete inhibition of hemagglutination.
