Thyroid disorders have been reported following congenital rubella: four cases of thyroiditis1-4 and two patients with thyrotoxicosis5,6 are known. We report a patient with childhood myxedema and congenital rubella, and indicate that myxedema may occur as a sequela to rubella. This combination of disorders should be added to thyroiditis,5 hypopituitarism7 and adrenal insufficiency4 in the spectrum of possible late diabetes mellitus complications of the congenital rubella syndrome. Patients with congenital rubella should be tested periodically for these endocrine deficiencies. CASE REPORT An 8[unknown]-year-old white girl was the product of a seven-month gestation complicated by maternal rubella in the first trimester. Birth weight was 1 kg.

Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) has been a nationally notifiable disease since 1965; however, reporting has been quantitatively poor. To improve surveillance, a National Registry for Congenital Rubella Syndrome was established in 1969. Since then, the Registry has received 133 case report forms from 28 states and the District of Columbia. Analysis of these reports shows that peaks of CRS births occurred seven to nine months after the peak incidence of rubella in 1969 and 1970. Estimates of the number of babies born with CRS per year far exceed the actual number of -reported cases. Since the ultimate goal of rubella immunization programs is the prevention of congenital rubella syndrome, improved surveillance of CRS is of prime importance in the overall rubella immunization effort.

Generally, the most common triggers for Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) are infectious diseases, such as Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) or pneumonia. However, emphysematous infections are significant diseases rarely associated with DKA. Here, we present two cases of emphysematous urinary tract infection associated to diabetic ketoacidosis, highlighting the importance of a timely intervention and treatment. We review the need for appropriate laboratory and image testing in the context of infected patients who do not reach inflammatory/ glycemic goals to diagnosticate complicated infectious processes. This case report and mini-review also explore pathophysiology, the association of DKA and urinary emphysematous infections and treatment options.
