Tiptoe Walking in the Presence of Superimposed Aeromonas With Dengue Infection.

The rise in limb salvage surgeries has led to an increase in post-traumatic equinus contractures, resulting in secondary causes of tiptoe walking. There is notable evidence linking superimposed bacteremia to heightened risks of morbidity and mortality in dengue patients, particularly when the immune system is compromised, leading to documented cases of -induced necrotizing fasciitis with myonecrosis. A case report from August 2019 involves a five-year-old boy admitted for dengue fever, which progressed to severe bilateral leg necrotizing fasciitis caused by concurrent infection.

Rare Case of Focal Gigantism of the Foot.

Macrodystrophia lipomatosa (MDL) is a rare congenital variant of focused gigantism that is non-hereditary. Typically, MDL presents with localized gigantism in either the hand or foot. In this case report, we present the unique instance of a 12-year-old girl who has experienced enlargement of the first and second toes on her right foot since birth.
