Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is a relatively recent condition, classified as an immune-mediated disorder characterized by complex neuropsychiatric syndrome and the presence of anti-GluN1 subunit antibodies against NMDA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Although it rare disease, studies have identified one most common causes autoimmune encephalitis. The pathophysiology this condition not yet fully understood, especially regarding its association with ovarian...
Abstract Background The diagnosis of cardiac syncope remains a challenge in the emergency department (ED). Objective Assessing diagnostic accuracy early standardized clinical judgement (ESCJ) including syncope‐specific case report form (CRF) comparison with recommended multivariable score. Methods In prospective international observational multicentre study, for ESCJ by ED physician amongst patients ≥ 40 years presenting to was directly compared that Evaluation Guidelines Syncope Study...
Renovascular hypertension (RVH), resulting from arterial narrowing that compromises renal blood flow, poses significant clinical challenges due to its association with severe complications like refractory and insufficiency. This case report documents a 27-year-old immunocompetent woman who developed RVH Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) as paradoxical reaction anti-tuberculous therapy (ATT) for disseminated tuberculosis (TB). Despite standard ATT, the patient exhibited...
Rhabdomyolysis is characterized by muscle breakdown and the release of enzymes into bloodstream, which can lead to acute kidney injury (AKI) electrolyte imbalances. This case report details a 52-year-old male who developed severe rhabdomyolysis polymyositis following influenza SARS-COV-2 vaccinations. Presenting with pain elevated creatine kinase (CK) levels, patient's condition was managed aggressive hydration supportive care, resulting in significant recovery. While vaccine-related adverse...
Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is primarily known for causing genital infections but can occasionally result in central nervous system (CNS) involvement, manifesting as meningitis or meningoencephalitis. HSV-2 meningoencephalitis a rare, yet potentially severe condition, particularly immunocompromised patients. We present the case of 63-year-old immunocompetent woman who developed progressive neurological symptoms, including mental confusion and generalized seizures. Cerebrospinal fluid...
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a complex disorder characterized by thrombotic microangiopathy, typically driven complement dysregulation. While most cases of aHUS are linked to genetic abnormalities in the system, sporadic instances occur without identifiable or involvement. This report discusses case 38-year-old woman who developed following gastroenteritis, marked acute kidney injury requiring dialysis, yet displayed normal levels. highlights diagnostic and management...
