Background: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an immune-mediated adverse response to heparin therapy, characterized by decreased platelet count and increased risk of thrombosis. HIT, without the tell-tale sign of thrombocytopenia, has rarely been described.
Key Clinical Question: Can HIT be diagnosed in the presence of thrombocytosis? What clinical clues and diagnostic tools facilitate accurate diagnosis in such cases?
Clinical Approach: We report a case of HIT with thrombocytosis in a young male who initially presented after traumatic knee dislocation.

Article Synopsis
- Varicella zoster virus (VZV) can lead to serious neurological conditions, either as complications during initial infection or when the virus reactivates, with better outcomes if diagnosed early and treated with antiviral drugs.
- In a study involving 30 unvaccinated participants, VZV DNA was found in one case while anti-VZV IgG was present in a significant majority, highlighting varied clinical presentations such as meningitis and altered sensorium.
- Routine testing for both VZV DNA and anti-VZV IgG in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is essential to improve early detection and reduce complications from VZV reactivation.
Utility of gingival crevicular fluid components for periodontal diagnosis.
Periodontol 2000
June 2024
Department of Periodontology, School of Dental Medicine, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
Periodontal diseases are highly prevalent chronic diseases, and severe periodontitis creates functional and esthetic problems and decreases self-esteem for a large percentage of the older population worldwide. In many cases of periodontitis, there is no distinct tell-tale pain that motivates a patient to seek treatment, rather the signs become clinically detectable late, and typically when the disease has progressed to a problematic level for the life of the dentition. Early periodontal screening and diagnostics tools will provide early recognition of periodontal diseases and facilitate timely management of the disease to reduce tooth loss.
