Cytomegalovirus Infection in an Immunocompetent Host Presenting as Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis.

Unlabelled: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a human herpes virus with a worldwide seroprevalence of 60-100%, mainly known to cause severe life-threatening disease in immunocompromised patients. In immunocompetent hosts (IMCh), CMV causes a self-limiting mononucleosis-like infection, and severe pictures are less recognized. We report a case of a previously healthy 62-year-old woman evaluated in the Internal Medicine outpatient clinic for 3 weeks of progressive fatigue, generalised inflammatory arthralgias, hypogastric discomfort and daily persistent fever.

Obeticholic acid (OCA) was approved for the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) patients. However, it can cause severe drug-induced liver injury (DILI), which may put PBC patients at risk of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and even death. Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is considered as the target of OCA for cholestasis, but there is still a lack of research on whether hepatic and ileal FXR have different effects after OCA treatment.

In this case report, we present a novel occurrence of acute hepatitis 2 weeks after local bupivacaine injection for wide awake, local anesthesia, no tourniquet carpal tunnel release. Laboratory and biopsy analysis confirmed cholestatic, drug-induced hepatitis that was successfully managed with conservative treatment. With a paucity of potential bupivacaine-induced hepatitis cases reported within the literature, the importance of broad differential diagnosis, meticulous medication reconciliation, and consideration of this rare complication should not be understated by the astute hand surgeon.

Aims/hypothesis: Quinine, when administered intraduodenally to activate bitter-taste receptors, in a dose of 600 mg, stimulates glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and insulin, slows gastric emptying and lowers postprandial glucose in healthy people, with consequent implications for the management of type 2 diabetes; the effect of quinine on energy intake is uncertain. We have investigated the dose-related effects of quinine on postprandial blood glucose levels and energy intake in people with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: Male participants with type 2 diabetes (age: 68±5 years; HbA: 49.
