Delayed-Onset White Matter Lesions on Brain MRI in Recurrent Non-cerebral Plasmodium falciparum Imported Malaria Without Neurological Symptoms.

malaria affects millions of people in certain regions of the world, with neurological involvement and/or cerebral malaria as potential manifestations. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities have been well-documented in cerebral malaria. However, MRI abnormalities in non-cerebral malaria, especially in neurologically asymptomatic patients, are not well understood and have been less frequently reported, especially in non-endemic regions.

Haemophagocytic syndrome caused by disseminated nontuberculous mycobacterial infection.

A female patient in her 30s presented to the emergency department with a 10-day history of fever, weakness and diaphoresis. Subsequent investigations revealed a diagnosis of haemophagocytic syndrome, secondary to disseminated non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection affecting the bone marrow, lungs, lymph nodes and skin. The bone marrow culture confirmed the presence of infection.

Apoptotic colopathy as a manifestation of Good's syndrome.

The case was a 44-year-old patient with four years of evolution of respiratory infections, fever, weight loss of 30 kg and chronic diarrhea with inconclusive colonoscopy studies, managed as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with a history of thymomectomy four years previously. On physical examination, there was severe protein-calorie malnutrition, skin lesions compatible with herpes simplex infection and lower limb edema. Blood tests were requested when pancytopenia and hypoalbuminemia were negative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
