Five categories of symptoms (skin and haemorrhagic, respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological and unexplained) were adopted for the case definition of the surveillance.
Experimental infections of rabbits with rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus monitored by polymerase chain reaction.
This led to the fear that effective blood-cholesterol-lowering may increase the chances of haemorrhagic stroke.
Antenatal onset of haemorrhagic and/or ischaemic lesions in preterm infants: prevalence and associated obstetric variables.
The infant had not suffered any haemorrhagic complications (a cranial ultrasound was negative) and the low platelet count resolved after 2 weeks of life.
Epidemiological consequences of a pathogen having both virulent and avirulent modes of transmission : the case of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus.
Macroscopically, the gerbils exhibited fresh petechial haemorrhages of the lung 1 day after infection, but no new haemorrhagic lesions were evident beyond that time.
It would seem that the haemorrhagic side-effects outweigh the benefits in routine s econdary prevention.
