Article Synopsis
- A study examined cases of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) in Thailand, focusing on both non-syndromic and syndromic forms from 2011 to 2021, highlighting a lack of existing data on this condition in the region.
- The research included genetic testing using next-generation sequencing on 33 patients, finding that the most common form of ichthyosis was congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (CIE), along with multiple other types.
- Eight genes with pathogenic variants were identified, notably ABCA12, and the study is significant as it's the first to present the clinical and molecular characteristics of ARCI in Southeast Asia, expanding the understanding of this group of disorders.
AbstractSeveral case reports of autochthonous leishmaniasis in Thailand have been published since 1996. Most of the previous cases presented with visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and were mostly reported in southern part of Thailand. Recently, it has been evident that is the main cause of infection in Thailand.

Clinical cases are given only palliative treatment as specific anti-DENV immunotherapy is not available and it is urgently required.

Abnormal hemostasis and plasma leakage are the main patho-physiological changes in DHF/DSS. A remarkably increased production of cytokines, the so called 'cytokine storm', is observed in the patients with DHF/DSS.

This prospective study examined the etiology of eosinophilic pleural effusions investigated at a Thai thoracic center from January 1996 to February 1998. Among the 405 eligible pleural effusions, 31 were eosinophilic (EoPF) and 374 were noneosinophilic (NEoPF). Malignant effusions were established in 159 of the 405 patients, yielding a prevalence of 0.

Methods: We investigated a total of 216 patients with pleural effusion, including 100 with TBpl, 68 with malignant effusion, 6 with transudates, 19 with empyema, 15 with miscellaneous diseases, and 8 with diseases of unknown etiology.
Results: The mean values (SE) of ADAPF were 110 (4.
