A Curious Case of Autoimmunity, Pancytopenia, and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation.

History And Examination: A 21-year-old female patient presented to us with severe low back pain for 4 months. On examination, patient was afebrile, with severe pallor, and tenderness in both sacroiliac (SI) joints. Patient was being admitted and evaluated, and during the course of evaluation, developed severe headache, which was severe in intensity and associated with nausea and projectile vomiting.

Results of a comparative, phase III, 12-week, multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind assessment of the efficacy and tolerability of a fixed-dose combination of telmisartan and amlodipine versus amlodipine monotherapy in Indian adults with stage II hypertension.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a new fixed-dose combination (FDC) of telmisartan 40 mg + amlodipine 5 mg (T+A) compared with amlodipine 5-mg monotherapy (A) in adult Indian patients with stage II hypertension.

Methods: This comparative, Phase III, 12-week, multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind study was conducted in Indian patients aged 18 to 65 years with established stage II hypertension. Patients were treated with oral FDC of T+A or A QD before breakfast for 12 weeks; blood pressure (BP) and heart rate were measured in the sitting position.
