[Leptospirosis in children in Rio do Janeiro].

In order to obtain data about clinical manifestations of symptomatic leptospiral infection in children, the authors reviewed 188 microscopic agglutination tests performed on sera of patients aged 0 to 12 years, made at the National Reference Laboratory of Leptospirosis (FIOCRUZ-RJ) from January 1983 to June 1991. Fifty two (27.6%) sera were positive. Twenty three (12.2%) children had serological evidence of acute infection. The most frequent signs and symptoms of these 23 cases were: fever (100%); myalgia (69.5%); headache (52.1%); jaundice (47.8%); vomit (34.8%); abdominal pain, hemorrhagic manifestations and impaired renal function (17.4%); conjunctivitis (13%); hepatomegaly (4.3%).

Amine neurotransmitter levels in male and female rats through developmental periods.

Monoamines (MA) such as dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) are now generally regarded as widely distributed and essential endogenous mediators contributing to the integration of reproductive physiology. MA measured in the hypothalamus tissue of male and female rats aged 1 to 90 days showed its own characteristic development pattern. Significant differences were observed at 5, 15, and 90 days of age in NE mean levels and at all ages except for 3 days of age in 5-HT mean levels. In contrast, no sex differences were seen in DA mean levels.
