Furthermore, we review the current research surrounding BACM, overview the clinical presentation to healthcare professionals, and present an interesting case of a child presenting for the second time with BACM.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report a child with SuddenInfantDeathSyndrome (SIDS), aged 16 months. The histological findings of tonsils, spleen, and bone marrow revealed many hemophagocytic cells.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Apnea and periodicbreathing were observed in 1 patient, opsoclonus-myoclonus in another, and disease mimicking herpes encephalitis in the third. All 3 patients recovered without neurologic residua.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A case of parainfluenza virus-associated acute necrotizing encephalopathy in a Caucasian child with a mildclinicalcourse and excellent prognosis is presented.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A 33-year-old Chilean man with fever secondary to parainfluenza 2 virus infection developed progressive cholestasis, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenia and an increased ferritin level ( 2000 IU/L). A bone marrow analysis showed hemophagocytosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Presentation is typically with acute onset calfpain and tenderness and refusal to walk or altered gait during the convalescent period of an influenza A or B infection.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Viralinclusionbodies (IBs), or replication factories, are unique structures generated by viral proteins together with some cellular proteins as a platform for efficient viral replication, but little is known about the mechanism underlying IB formation[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although ATL cells were not detected in the autopsied lungs and a variety of other tissues, cytoplasmicinclusionbodies, which are commonly observed in RNA viral infection, were abundantly observed in the autopsied lung tissue.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Of the 7 patients with virologic and spirometric data, 5 had 1-log reduction in nasopharyngeal swab PIV viral load and 4 had improved forced expiratory volumes by the end of treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment : Most infections in adults and older children are mild and recovery takes place without treatment, unless the person is very old or has an abnormal immune system.[en.vircell.com]
The prognosis was originally reported as grave; however, a mild form of the disease has recently been described.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The epidemiologic relatedness of hPIV-3 strains was investigated by sequencing of the haemagglutinin-neuraminidase and fusion protein genes.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This work demonstrates the promise of mNGS for providing rapid information for infection prevention in addition to microbial detection.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention and Treatment Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent HPIV infection. However, researchers are trying to develop vaccines. Also, there is no specific antiviral treatment for HPIV illness.[cdc.gov]
