A menace to fraternity: Early congenital syphilis - A rare case report.

Congenital syphilis (CS), once a forgotten disease, has now remerged. A 2-month-old male child presented with multiple discrete skin-colored papules over the trunk, back, bilateral lower limbs, and groin. He also had a deformity of bilateral lower limbs and a widening at the wrist.

An inscrutable entity: A case report of late congenital syphilis.

Congenital syphilis is an outcome of maternal syphilis that occurs due to the transmission of via the placenta of untreated or inadequately treated pregnant women to their newborns. It is now a very rare cause of neurological, developmental, and musculoskeletal disability and death in infants after the advent of penicillin. Here, we report a case of late congenital syphilis presented with classic stigmata of syphilis at the age of 10 years.

Recurrent hypoglycemia…: A less well-known presentation of Sheehan's syndrome.

Sheehan's syndrome is a rare cause of recurrent hypoglycemia. We present a case of a middle aged woman who presented with recurrent life threatening hypoglycemia. Based on a past history of severe post partum hemmorhage and a clinical picture of myxedema and secondary amennorhea, laboratory and neuroimaging was undertaken to confirm a diagnosis of Sheehan's syndrome.

Gastric antral vascular ectasia with aortic stenosis: Heydes syndrome.

Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a well-recognized albeit rare cause of gastro-intestinal (GI) bleeding. It classically presents in an elderly female as iron-deficiency anemia due to chronic blood loss. The association of GI blood loss with aortic stenosis (AS) has been popularized as Heydes syndrome (HS).

A case report of Evans Syndrome.

Evans Syndrome (ES) is the rare simultaneous or subsequent development of immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). It portends a poorer prognosis and a more aggressive line of management than either condition presenting alone. Here we report a case of a young female who presented with both bleeding and acute decompensated anemia.

Cleft lip as a presentation of congenital syphilis.

Congenital syphilis may present with unusual symptoms in early stages which needs to be identified for prompt treatment. Here, we present a case of 13-day-old female child with congenital syphilis presenting with cleft lip.
