Article Synopsis
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), like tislelizumab, have improved cancer treatment but can cause unique immune-related adverse events (irAEs), particularly endocrine issues.
- A case study highlighted a 49-year-old male with hepatocellular carcinoma who developed severe thyrotoxicosis after treatment, requiring close monitoring and intervention.
- While levels of toxicity from ICIs can be serious, the overall benefits of ICI therapy usually outweigh these risks, emphasizing the need for healthcare professionals to recognize and manage thyroid-related irAEs effectively.
Kawasaki disease with peritonsillar abscess as the first symptom: A case report.
World J Clin Cases
August 2023
Background: Kawasaki disease (KD), also known as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome, is an acute, self-limiting vasculitis of unknown aetiology that mainly involves the medium and small arteries and can lead to serious cardiovascular complications, with a 25% incidence of coronary artery aneurysms. Periton-Sillar abscesses are a rare symptom of KD and is easily misdiagnosed at its early stages.
Case Summary: A 5-year-old boy who presented to a community hospital with a 3-d fever, difficulty in opening his mouth, and neck pain and was originally treated for throat infection without improvement.
Blood concentration monitoring plays an important role in the rational use of norvancomycin. However, the reference interval for the norvancomycin plasma concentration in the treatment of infections in hemodialysis patients with end stage kidney disease is undefined. To determine the safe and effective interval for the norvancomycin plasma trough concentration, 39 patients treated with hemodialysis and norvancomycin were analyzed retrospectively.
