Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a severe condition characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and end-organ damage, often involving the kidneys. Complement-mediated uremic syndrome (cHUS), rare form of TMA, arises from dysregulated alternative complement pathway activation, frequently due to genetic mutations. We report case 23-year-old male presenting with TMA secondary heterozygous mutation in membrane cofactor protein (MCP/CD46) gene. The patient exhibited...
Here, we present a case of infective endocarditis (IE) caused by Gemella sanguinis, pathogen that rarely causes human infection. The patient in this was an otherwise healthy 50-year-old man who presented with gradually worsening shortness breath, weight loss, fatigue, chills, and leg swelling for six weeks. He had no prior history cardiac disease never used intravenous drugs, but he undergone extensive dental work following military-associated injury. A workup IE done, echocardiography...
Background: Toxoplasmosis is one of the most common global life-threatening diseases among immunocompromised persons. It not only a disease, but also contributing factor to several pathological disorders, such as prostate cancer. Objectives. The purpose presented work determining prevalence regarding toxoplasmosis in Iraqi cancer patients and connect that with type malignancy. Patients Methods: This study included 115 male (75 prostatic tumors 40 normal glands) from Al-Amal National Hospital...
Cefepime is a fourth-generation cephalosporin with extended antimicrobial coverage. Concerns have been raised about the side effects of cefepime including myoclonus, encephalopathy, and seizures, especially when renal impairment present. There reports cases adverse neurological consequences despite appropriate adjustment. Here, we present case 69-year-old patient initially diagnosed pneumonia treated cefepime. The later developed altered mental status, leading to differential diagnoses...
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) secondary to Histoplasma capsulatum is rare, impacting <1% globally, with a mortality rate of up 31%. Herein, we present rare case HLH H capsulatum, affecting 57-year-old female rheumatoid arthritis. Extensive investigations were unrevealing and despite broad-spectrum antibiotics, her condition worsened, leading respiratory failure requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, shock multiple vasopressors, acute kidney injury (AKI)...
This study aims to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic relevance of MMP-2 MMP-9 as biomarkers for breast cancer, well their association with clinicopathological factors. Breast cancer is a leading contributor cancer-related deaths among women worldwide. The discovery crucial early diagnosis, outcome prediction, effective treatment. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play significant role in various physiological pathological activities, including development, tissue repair, inflammation,...
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy characterized by clonal proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow, often leading to various end-organ damages. Here, we report case 73-year-old previously healthy woman who was initially diagnosed with an intracerebral hemorrhage secondary potential hypertensive emergency. However, further evaluation revealed diagnosis MM. This points out importance comprehensive evaluations neurocritical care and challenges notion simplistic...
This case report presents the atypical instance of a 59-year-old female patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who was initially referred to pulmonary clinic for evaluation due low diffusing capacity lung carbon monoxide (DLCO). Pulmonary hypertension (PH) suspected, and subsequent right heart catheterization (RHC) confirmed PH attributed group 5 PH, leading decision close unused arteriovenous fistula (AVF) manage PH. Unexpectedly, follow-up RHC showed worsening elevated capillary wedge...
