Post-Coronavirus Disease Autoimmunity-associated Morvan's Syndrome.

A lot of autoimmune conditions have been found to be associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). There are multiple cases of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases reported after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Autoimmune neurological presentations have also been reported but are very rare.

Linezolid-Associated Posterior Reversible Leuco-encephalopathy Syndrome in a Patient with Disseminated Tuberculosis.

Neurological side-effects of linezolid manifesting as a posterior reversible leuco-encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is rare. Early identification of this offending drug might reverse this catastrophic event. We report a 45-year-old female, who was diagnosed as a case of disseminated tuberculosis and was treated with antitubercular drugs (ATT), but later developed ATT-induced hepatitis.

An Unusual Case of Muscle Twitching: Its LGI1.

A 50-year-old male, presented with a two-months history of ascending paresthesias, with continuous twitchings over the body, associated with insomnia. His electromyography (EMG) revealed neuromyotonia and was diagnosed as a case of peripheral nerve hyperexcitability (PNH) syndrome due to Leucin-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (LGI1) antibody. He showed significant improvement with intravenous immunoglobulin and carbamazepine.

Expanding the canvas of PRKN mutations in familial and early-onset Parkinson disease.

Background: Mutations in PRKN (PARK2) are commonly encountered in early-onset Parkinson disease (PD).

Objectives: To screen for PRKN mutations in a clinically well-characterized cohort of early-onset PD patients with a family history (FEOPD; ≤50 years at onset) or sporadic (SEOPD; ≤50 years at onset) and late-onset familial patients (FLOPD; >50 years at onset).

Methods: A total of 97 patients including 52 SEOPD and 45 familial PD (FEOPD: 23; FLOPD: 22) were screened for variants in PRKN by PCR- Sanger sequencing.

Temporomandibular joint ankylosis in ankylosing spondylitis: A case report and review of literature.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disorder. It primarily affects the axial skeleton through involvement of the peripheral joint scan occurs. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement in AS varies from 4% to 35%.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Sarcoidosis: A Case Report of a Rare Neurologic Manifestation.

Introduction: Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic inflammatory disease with myriad clinical manifestations. Neurologic involvement in sarcoidosis is uncommon. Peripheral neuropathic presentations include mononeuropathy, mononeuritis multiplex, and generalized sensory, motor, autonomic, and sensorimotor polyneuropathies.

An Unusual Presentation of Dengue Fever: Association with Longitudinal Extensive Transverse Myelitis.

Association of dengue fever with transverse myelitis in the form of extensive spinal cord involvement is a rare entity described in the literature. We describe a middle-aged man who presented with dengue fever and in whom weakness of the bilateral lower limbs and urinary incontinence developed on the third day of fever. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the diagnosis of longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis.

Missing diagnosis: gingival hypertrophy due to amlodipine.

Gingival hypertrophy (GH) is a well-known physical manifestation due to inflammatory conditions, pregnancy, vitamin C deficiency, systemic diseases like leukemia, Wegners granulomatosis, and various drugs like anticonvulsants, immunosuppresant, and calcium channel blockers (CCBs).We present here a case of a 45-year-old woman, who has been taking Amlodipine 10mg once a day together with Atenelol 50mg per day for one and half years, and has subsequently developed gum hypertrophy. This manifestation was reversed after stopping of Amlodipine.

Complicated malaria: a rare presentation of Plasmodium ovale.

Malaria has emerged as a major public health problem worldwide. Complications are commonly seen in Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) and Plasmodium vivax (P.

Epidemic dropsy 2013: case series.

Epidemic dropsy (ED) is caused due to intoxication with Argemone mexicana. Here we report a case series of three families, all of whom were residents of Uttar Pradesh, India, who presented in August 2013 with all the classical features of ED. We aim to highlight the importance of this malady even though the sale of unbottled mustard oil is illegal in India.

Splenic abscess: Plasmodium vivax with secondary Escherichia coli infection.

Splenic abscess is a rare clinical entity as described in literature. The incidence is in the range of 0.14-0.

Acute viral hepatitis E presenting with haemolytic anaemia and acute renal failure in a patient with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.

The association of acute hepatitis E viral (HEV) infection with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency leading to extensive intravascular haemolysis is a very rare clinical entity. Here we discuss such a patient, who presented with acute HEV illness, developed severe intravascular haemolysis and unusually high levels of bilirubin, complicated by acute renal failure (ARF), and was later on found to have a deficiency of G6PD. The patient recovered completely with haemodialysis and supportive management.

Typhoid and dengue coinfection: case reports.

Both dengue and typhoid fever have emerged as major public health problems in India. Coinfection with both these diseases is rarely reported. Here we report two confirmed cases of concurrent illness of dengue with typhoid fever; both patients were managed as outpatients and recovered completely.
