Acute Cerebellar Ataxia: A Rare Association of Hepatitis a Infection.

Acute cerebellar ataxia (ACA) is a self-limited syndrome that is frequently post-infectious, most commonly following infection having an autoimmune mechanism. ACA is the commonest cause of childhood ataxia. We report a 14-year-old male who presented with acute onset wide-based gait and slurring of speech with dysdiadochokinesia, incoordination of voluntary movements, pendular knee jerk, and intentional tremors.

Type 2 hyper-IgM syndrome with a rare variant of AICDA gene mutation in a young woman.

We report the case of a woman in her early 20s with a history of recurrent infection, atopic dermatitis, filariasis and bilateral purulent ear discharge since childhood with tonsillar enlargement on examination. She was started on supportive care and evaluated for primary immunodeficiency disease. Blood investigations revealed increased IgM levels with reduced IgG, IgA and IgE levels.

Acanthamoeba meningoencephalitis causing secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in an immunocompetent patient: A first case report.

is a rare cause of granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) associated with high mortality. There have been few case reports of Acanthamoeba meningoencephalitis worldwide. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a severe hyperinflammatory condition caused by abnormally active macrophages and cytotoxic T lymphocytes; its secondary form is due to infections or malignancies.

Understanding why at-risk population segments do not seek care for tuberculosis: a precision public health approach in South India.

Introduction: Delaying care-seeking for tuberculosis (TB) symptoms is a major contributor to mortality, leading to worse outcomes and spread. To reduce delays, it is essential to identify barriers to care-seeking and target populations most at risk of delaying. Previous work identifies barriers only in people within the health system, often long after initial care-seeking.
