Iodine Toxicity

Background Iodine is a naturally occurring element commercially available alone or in a multitude of products. Iodine crystals and iodine tincture are used in the production of methamphetamine. Although rarely fatal, iodine toxicity from oral ingestion can produce distressing gastrointestinal symptoms and systemic symptoms, such as hypotension and tachycardia, from subsequent hypovolemia. Objective The objective of this case report is to describe a case of iodine toxicity from suspected oral methamphetamine ingestion. Case Report A male in his early 20′s presented with gastrointestinal symptoms, chills, fever, tachycardia, and tachypnea after orally ingesting a substance suspected to be methamphetamine. The patient had elevated levels of serum creatinine, liver function tests, and bands on arrival, which returned to within normal limits by day 4 of admission. Based on the patient's narrow anion gap, halogen levels were ordered on day 3 and indicated iodine toxicity. This is thought to be the first documented case of iodine toxicity secondary to suspected oral methamphetamine abuse. Conclusion Considering that the incidence of methamphetamine abuse is expected to continue to rise, clinicians should be aware of potential iodine toxicity in a patient with a history of methamphetamine abuse.

A 14-month female child came with complain of cholera like watery loose stool 10-12 times and vomiting 6-7 times, 24 hrs before admission. She was in severe dehydration, hypotension, unconscious with no recorded fever during her stay in hospital and no history of contact with COVID-19. Patient was COVID-19 positive Dehydration and hypotension was corrected, metabolic acidosis continued and eventually patient succumb due to multiple organ failure. This case report should arouse us to suspect COVID infection in every acute Gastroenteritis child who may not have any common symptoms as seen in COVID patient, also who have no history of significant contact with COVID positive patient in family. Some people with COVID-19 develop gastrointestinal symptoms either alone or with respiratory symptoms. Recently, researchers at Stanford University found that a third of patients they studied with a mild case of COVID-19 had symptoms affecting the digestive system. Another recent study Trusted Source published by researchers in Beijing found that anywhere from 3 to 79 percent of people with COVID-19 develop gastrointestinal symptoms.

A previously healthy male with subacute onset right leg weakness was suspected to have an astrocytoma as imaging showed a lesion. Subsequent biopsy showed the presence of foamy macrophages containing periodic acid-Schiff staining granules, suggesting Whipple disease as a possible diagnosis.

Symptoms And Signs

During the current COVID-19 pandemic, the assessment, and management of patients are challenging. The clinical features of COVID-19 are heterogeneous and subtle in many cases. Although diffuse alveolar damage and acute respiratory failure are the main features of COVID-19, the impairment of other organs are also seen. Gastrointestinal symptoms are common in pediatric patients with COVID-19 as SARS-CoV-2 is able to enter gastrointestinal epithelial cells. However, these complaints can also be caused by a COVID-19-independent concomitant abdominal pathology. Therefore, patients with fever with acute abdominal pain, anorexia, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea need to be assessed very thoroughly. Previous studies reported that COVID-19 was likely to result in liver injury. Based on clinical cases, we present our approach of management of children with symptoms and signs of viral hepatitis and concomitant suspicion of ­COVID-19.

Chilaiditi's Syndrome

Introduction. Chilaiditi's syndrome is a rare condition manifested by gastrointestinal symptoms, and radiologically verified by transposition of the large intestine loop. This radiological finding with no manifested symptoms is termed the Chilaiditi's sign. The aim of this case report was to remind the clinicians of the possibility of this rare syndrome, whose symptoms and signs may be misinterpreted and inadequately treated, with consequent diverse complications. Case report. We presented the theoretical facts and a patient in whom the diagnosis of Chilaiditi's syndrome was established incidentally, when hospitalized for an exacerbation of his chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The Chilaiditi's sign was verified as an incidental finding on chest X-ray performed to evaluate the primary disease. Conclusion. Chilaiditi's syndrome is a benign condition which rarely requires surgery. Its clinical importance lies in adequate differential diagnostic approach and timely management of potentially serious complications.

Abstract Malignant melanoma is a very aggressive type of cancer and some of patients have distant metastasis at presentation. Gastrointestinal system metastases are common and generally asymptomatic. The disease is rarely diagnosed only by gastrointestinal symptoms. Our case was diagnosed with malignant melanoma after upper gastrointestinal bleeding, characteristic lesions for malignant melanoma were seen by gastrocopy. The diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy.
