AI Article Synopsis
- PML (Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy) should be evaluated in patients showing neurological symptoms after a diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) and those with weakened immune systems.
- Symptoms can vary greatly and can worsen quickly.
- It's essential to refer these patients promptly and involve a multidisciplinary team early on for effective management.
Article Abstract
PML should be considered in patients with neurological symptoms following MM and in those who are immunosuppressed. Symptoms are diverse and often rapidly progressing. Prompt referral and early involvement of the multidisciplinary team are crucial.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) includes a number of clinical subtypes. The major phenotype is "typical CIDP," which is characterized by symmetric and "proximal and distal" muscle weakness. Due to historical changes in the concept of CIDP, multifocal motor neuropathy, anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein (anti-MAG) neuropathy, and autoimmune nodopathy were excluded.

Purpose: We describe a rare complication of macular hole formation in rickettsia post-fever retinitis.
Patients And Methods: Retrospective observational case report of a patient who presented with post-fever retinitis and cystoid macular edema that later progressed to a macular hole. Clinical record and multimodal imaging including fundus photography, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) were analyzed.

Protothecosis is an infectious disease caused by unicellular algae of the genus Prototheca, which are mainly known for causing mastitis in farm animals. However, there are reports of protothecosis in humans and other animals, such as dogs and cats, which develop cutaneous lesions or systemic lesions. Dogs with the systemic form generally develop bloody diarrhoea and blindness and neurological signs may also occur.

Background: Whether inherited in the context of multiple endocrine neoplasia 2B at germline level or acquired in a lifetime, all RET p.M918T (RET c.2753T>C) mutations should activate the RET tyrosine kinase receptor alike, with similar degrees of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) progression when disparities in disease onset and multifocal growth are accounted for.
