Incidence of cutaneous graft-versus-host disease in a Singapore academic medical centre - A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Cutaneous graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is common in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. HLA mismatch is the most significant determinant of GVHD. Our study aimed to compare the incidence of cutaneous GVHD haploidentical (Haplo) and matched donors in an Asian population.

Delayed Presentation of Hemichorea in Diabetic Striatopathy.

Diabetic striatopathy is a rare condition associated with poorly controlled diabetes that can present as hyperkinetic movements. A 70-year-old Asian female was newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by diabetic ketoacidosis when she presented with lethargy and confusion. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain performed for the patient showed incidental isolated radiological features of diabetic striatopathy, even though she did not have any hyperkinetic movements.
