Dermatological manifestations of infection by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Anaplasma phagocytophilum
Vaňousová, Daniela ; Třešňák Hercogová, Jana (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Alena (referee) ; Sedláček, Dalibor (referee)
Lyme disease (LD) and human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) are anthropozoonoses that occur in the same geographical areas and are transmitted to humans by the same species of ticks of the genus Ixodes. While the extracellular pathogen of LD, spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, and symptoms, course, diagnosis and treatment of the disease are well known, the HGA is one of the new and less known diseases. HGA is caused by an obligate intracellular bacterium Anaplasma phagocytophilum and the disease most often presents as a febrile illness accompanied by other nonspecific symptoms, including chills, fatigue, muscle pain, joint pain and headaches. An untreated infection can cause organ involvement, particularly of respiratory, gastrointestinal and the nervous system. Laboratory signs of infection include changes in the blood count - leucopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and elevated liver enzymes. Among cases reported from North America , there is a higher portion of symptomatic and severe cases,, with some reported deaths. In Europe, the course of HGA tends to be mild or asymptomatic. The percentage of ticks containing anaplasma DNA in Europe is high, there is also a high prevalence of anaplasma antibodies in wild animals. Seroprevalence especially in the high-risk population in our country and in Europe is high....

History of Dermatovenereology at Prague Medica l Faculties 1790 - 1945
Kružicová, Zuzana ; Hlaváčková, Ludmila (advisor) ; Hercogová, Jana (referee) ; Jiroušek, Bohumil (referee)
History of Dermatovenereology at Prague Medical Faculties in years 1790-1945. MUDr. Zuzana Kružicová Summary: The history of dermatovenerology at the Prague medical faculties has so far evaded the attention of medical historians. This work therefore fills the gap - albeit partially - by presenting a development of the discipline at the Charles University including its roots in Vienna. To achieve the goal I have first started with the figure of F. Hebra, the founder of modern systematics of skin diseases, and I have also attempted to outline the position of the Vienna dermatovenerology within the European context. The second part of my thesis describes the development of Prague dermatovenerology, which was reconstructed on base of study of archival as well as printed sources spanning the period between 1840s and 1945. The research strives to capture life and medical works of the leading figures in our dermatovenerology - A. Kraus, J. Čejka, J. Waller, V. Petters, V. Janovský, F. Šamberger, K. Gawalowski, P. J. Pick, K. Kreibich and J. Bezecny (Greipl). Apart from the biographical information I also focuse on the gradual development of dermatovenerology as a medical field, while highlighting its diagnostic and therapeutic options. My goal was to develop a comprehensive overview of the scientific publications,...
