Acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) is a rare disease in childhood. We reviewed the 10-year data from local pediatric department, reported clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, neuroimaging findings, and outcome of acute cases identified potential factors affecting outcome. Eight episodes among 7 patients were recorded, which all them had an initial presentation fever seizure. that with severe score Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) on presentation, brainstem involvement magnetic resonance...
KCNQ2 mutations encompass a wide range of phenotypes, ranging from benign familial neonatal seizure to clinical spectrum early-onset epileptic encephalopathy that occurs in the early period. We report an infant with presenting as seizure, initially controlled by two anticonvulsants. Electroencephalogram (EEG) showed repetitive multifocal epileptiform discharges, which remained similar after administration intravenous pyridoxine injection. Seizure recurred at age 3 months preceded episode...
The incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is rising in the West, but little known Asia. This study elucidated changes and HPV-positive portion OPSCC Hong Kong. Data from population-based cancer registry were used to analyze associate with other head neck cancers. Archived tumour tissues tested for HPV. From 1986 2020, there was a marked decrease nasopharyngeal laryngeal cancers, persistent increase 36 cases 116 2020. average positive...
The implication of gastrointestinal infection caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its transmission remains to be fully understood. We studied 4 paediatric patients with several weeks faecal excretion SARS-CoV-2 RNA who had only mild symptoms. International consensus on isolation practices is urgently needed.
