Introduction And Importance: Gaucher disease is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder marked by a substantial reduction in beta-glucocerebrosidase activity. Historically, supportive treatments such as splenectomy and orthopedic interventions were employed, whereas recent advances have led to the approval of Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) and Substrate Reduction Therapy (SRT) as therapeutic options.
Case Presentation: The authors present the case of a 61-year-old female with chronic abdominal pain, abdominal fullness, pancytopenia, and hepatosplenomegaly, all indicative of Gaucher's disease, later confirmed by histopathological examination.
Introduction: Bullous erythema multiforme (BEM), an immune-mediated, acute condition, frequently includes erosion affecting the oral, genital, and/or ocular mucosa in addition to discrete target-like lesions on the skin. BEM has been linked to various factors, including infections, medications, malignancy, autoimmune disease, immunization, and radiation.
Case Presentation: Here, we report a case of a 38-year-old married woman who presented with symptoms of reddish-raised, fluid-filled and painful, nonpruritic lesions along with the swelling of bilateral hand and feet.
Background: Nepal is a low resource country with cardiovascular diseases being the number one cause of mortality.
