Toxoplasma encephalitis in Haitian adults with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome: a clinical-pathologic-CT correlation
M. J. D. Post,Joseph C. Chan,George T. Hensley,Thomas A. Hoffman,L. B. Moskowitz,S. Lippmann +5 more
TL;DR: Clinical data, histologic findings, and computed tomographic abnormalities in eight adult Haitians with toxoplasma encephalitis were analyzed retrospectively and CT findings were useful but not diagnostically pathognomonic.

Cranial CT in Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome: Spectrum of Diseases and Optimal Contrast Enhancement Technique
M. Judith Donovan Post,Sevil J. Kursunoglu,George T. Hensley,Joseph C. Chan,L. B. Moskowitz,Thomas A. Hoffman +5 more
TL;DR: It is recommended that CT be used routinely and with the 1 hr DDD scan to evaluate and follow AIDS patients with neurologic symptoms and/or signs and the optimal contrast enhancement technique for detecting CNS pathology and for monitoring the effectiveness of medical therapy was evaluated.

M. J. D. Post,S. J. Kursunoglu,George T. Hensley,Joseph C. Chan,L. B. Moskowitz,Thomas A. Hoffman +5 more
TL;DR: A retrospective review of cranial CT scans obtained over a 4-year period in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and documented central nervous system (CNS) pathology is presented in this paper.

Clinical evaluation of piperacillin with observations on penetrability into cerebrospinal fluid.
TL;DR: Piperacillin penetrated well into the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with meningitis and may be useful for treatment of selected gram-negative infections in extrapulmonary sites.

Risk and detection of pulmonary artery catheter-related infection in septic surgical patients.
TL;DR: PACatheter-aspirate cultures, routine peripheral blood cultures, and arterial cultures cannot be recommended to detect PA catheter-related infection, and Arterial line cultures had zero sensitivity and predictive value to detect catheter -related infection and 15% sensitivity and 40% predictive value for peripheral bacteremia.
