Healthcare workers from around the globe went to the region to assist, and many of them contracted the virus and died. The signs and symptoms of HACE are ataxia, seizures, slurred speech, neurologic deficits (rare), altered mentation, and decreased consciousness. Interrater reliability is established by having all raters independently rate individual patients at the same time to determine the correlation of their scores. Because of the transducer's proximity to the heart, TEE allows one to delineate small cardiac structures (ie, vegetations and thrombi less than 3 mm in diameter) that may not be seen with TTE. Higher AUC was associated with longer time-to-progression and OS; increased response rate; and increased incidence of fatigue, hypertension, and neutropenia. This has never occurred with their use in asthma patients, even in inadvertent overdosage. Some of the more common diseases in this category are leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis (Chagas and African), schistosomiasis, ascariasis, lymphatic filariasis, hookworm infection, and dracunculiasis (Guinea worm). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Yellow Book, the relative risk for malaria is moderate and chloroquine-resistant P. Conversely, high serum iron, transferrin, and selenium levels are also associated with asymptomatic elevations of transaminases. Agents with a limited use, such as agents for bioterrorism or travel, are beyond the scope of this chapter. In ambulatory care patients, another study identified 21 risk factors, grouped as follows: (a) medication-related issues (ie, use of anticholinergics, benzodiazepines, corticosteroids, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), (b) patient characteristics (eg, multiple comorbidities, multiple prescribers, age older than or equals to 85 years, dementia, regular use of alcohol, and decreased renal function), (c) use of drugs with narrow therapeutic ranges (eg, lithium, warfarin), (d) history of an ADR, and (e) hospitalization within the previous 6 months. Reduction in the diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide. In both studies, only one patient with skintest positivity to penicillin had a positive skin test result for meropenem. Methods available to individualize drug therapy range from clinical pharmacokinetic techniques using simple mathematical relationships that hold for all drugs that obey linear pharmacokinetics to very complex computer programs that are specific to one drug.
