Introduction: Ambiguous genitalia, also called as atypical genitalia is a rare condition where child born with outer genitals that do not clearly look either male or female. Lack of production certain hormones can cause the embryo to develop female body type, regardless genetic sex. Methodology: 20 days old baby came in OPD persistent vomiting and dehydration. She had hypernatremia, hypokalemia, cardiac arrhythmia. Genital examination showed ambiguous genitalia. Karyotyping report XY...
Dengue, a mosquito-borne disease caused by flavivirus, is recognized in over 120 countries with 3.6 billion people living areas at risk. Neurological manifestations are infrequently reported as clinical consequences of dengue infection. Though severe may be associated meningoencephalitis, meningitis rare initial presentation otherwise uncomplicated fever. We report two adult patients who presented fever, headache, and nuchal rigidity without the typical symptoms Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)...
The epigallocatechin-rich polyphenolic fraction of Assam variety white tea, traditionally used for the management diverse inflammatory ailments and health drink, was investigated through eco-friendly green aqueous extraction, TLC, HPLC characterization, phytochemical screening, in vitro DPPH assay, anti-proteinase, MTT assay on synovial fibroblast colon cancer cells, apoptotic FACS analysis, cytokine ELISA, p-STAT3 western blotting, silico docking analysis. HPLC-TLC standardized tea (WT-F)...
Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a group of transport defects in the reabsorption bicarbonate, excretion hydrogen ion (H(+)), or both, resulting systemic and hypokalemia with normal glomerular filtration rate. Although isolated proximal (type 2) distal 1) pathologies are well characterized, combined pathology leading to type 3 RTA very rare. Here, we report case RTA, using an algorithmic approach classify scenario hypokalemic metabolic setting episodic flaccid paralysis.
Tuberculoma of brain is one the manifestations central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis. It usually behaves like space occupying lesion and presents with focal neurological symptom or seizure. Sign meningism not common in tuberculoma. Simultaneous presence miliary lung mottling CNS tuberculoma uncommon. Our patient presented features meningitis normal CSF study. Miliary was found chest x ray finally diagnosed as having by MRI
Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease and can rarely present with multiple extraglandular manifestations. Here we report case of pSS concomitant IgA nephropathy hepatitis as the initial She presented polyarthralgia, sicca symptoms persistent fatigue but was asymptomatic for renal liver involvement. Autoimmune diseases have overlapping clinical features occasionally, manifest nonspecific leading to delay in diagnosis. It therefore imperative thoroughly evaluate any...
We report the case of a 67-year-old male with two-year history inflammatory polyarthritis, fatigue, and low back pain. He also had biopsy proven neutrophilic dermatosis in past. On admission examination, he pallor. Laboratory evaluation showed macrocytic anaemia, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP). MRI Sacroiliac joints presence bilateral sacroiliitis. Bone marrow examination cytoplasmic vacuolisation myeloid erythroid precursor cells. Genetic analysis...
Dissecting aneurysm of the intracranial arteries is uncommon and isolated dissection middle cerebral artery (MCA) much rarer.Cerebral infarction usual presentation MCA in first two decades, hemorrhagic manifestation being rare.We describe a young male patient who presented with acute onset headache left sided hemiparesis due to intra-parenchymal hemorrhage.Digital subtraction angiography finally revealed involving M2 segment right as possible cause intracerebral hemorrhage this patient.This...

The started slowly, involving the neck gradually involved face periorbital later part limbs [Figure 1]. patient had a past tuberculosis which she treated...
Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP) is usually preceded by infection with certain bacteria and viruses. Parasitic has rarely been reported as a causal factor for AIDP. Neurological manifestations following malaria commonly seen P. falciparum. There are only few case reports of Guillain–Barre Syndrome or facial diplegia vivax infection. Here we reporting patient who developed AIDP within two weeks successful treatment
