Rare Care - Cross-Sector Care Coordination.

Rare and undiagnosed diseases collectively represent a global health priority, presenting distinct challenges for healthcare systems due to their low prevalence, cumulative frequency, and complex care requirements. The impact of rare and undiagnosed diseases on children and their families extends beyond physical and mental health, affecting every aspect of their lives. This paper outlines the development of an innovative Model of Care that emphasises cross-sector care coordination as an approach to enhance the health and well-being of Western Australian children living with rare and undiagnosed diseases.

A Rare Case of Erythromycin-Induced Rhabdomyolysis.

Rhabdomyolysis (RML) arises from the breakdown of muscle tissue, leading to the release of intracellular components into the bloodstream and potentially causing multi-organ failure. Multiple drugs have been reported to cause RML. We present here a rare instance of erythromycin-triggered RML in a patient who was not on any other potential RML-inducing medications.
