Dengue is a viral disease caused by a single-stranded RNA virus from the Flaviviridae family, primarily transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, although Aedes albopictus also plays a role as a vector. Clinical features of dengue range from nonspecific symptoms to severe forms like dengue shock syndrome. Among these clinical features, dermatological manifestations are particularly noteworthy, as they can aid in differentiating dengue from other illnesses.

Perforation of Meckel's diverticulum by an unusual foreign body: A case report and a review of literature.

Key Clinical Message: Perforation of Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is rare, particularly by foreign body. High index of suspicion and thorough intraoperative assessment is needed in patients undergoing surgery for acute appendicitis, specifically when appendix appears normal.

Abstract: Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract.

Multi-tissue cytogenetic analysis for the diagnosis of mosaic Down syndrome: A case report.

Less than one percent of individuals with Down syndrome exhibit mosaicism, a biological phenomenon that describes an individual who has two or more genetically distinct cell lines. The percentage of mosaicism in different tissues can impact the presence of clinical findings and hinder cytogenetic diagnosis. We report a case of mosaicism for trisomy 21 diagnosed after multi-tissue cytogenetic analysis of peripheral blood and buccal mucosa, associated with significant intellectual disability, dysmorphic facial features, congenital heart defects, macropenis, and imperforate anus.
