Bullous drug eruptions such as Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) and Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) are rare but known adverse reactions of fluoroquinolones. Although uncommon, TEN can be life-threatening for the patient, especially in the context of delayed treatment and in fragile patients such as the pediatric population. In the present case, TEN occurred in a 13-year-old girl with no medical history following initiation of ciprofloxacin treatment for an inguinal cyst. We hope that the case report will make interrogate the practices concerning the use of antibiotics, in particular fluoroquinolones in the context of an use not prescribed by the Marketing Authorization of the drug in children.

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has affected countries around the world. The introduction of COVID-19 vaccines has proved the most effective arsenal in the fight against the disease. However, with the vaccination of billions of people, data on vaccine-induced adverse reactions are also emerging. We report a 32-year-old woman who manifested papulopustular rash 7 days after receiving Moderna COVID-19 (mRNA-1273) vaccine. The patient responded to a short course of systemic steroids and antihistamines. Awareness regarding the possible adverse events that can be anticipated after the COVID-19 vaccination may help the healthcare professionals to offer prompt and effective care to the affected.

Olanzapine is a widely adopted atypical antipsychotic medication used to manage schizophrenia. Reports show that the incidence rate of adverse reactions to olanzapine is significantly lower than those of other classic antipsychotic medications. However, olanzapine overdose may be associated with severe consequences. Herein, we report a 21-year-old female patient who had taken nearly 700 mg (70 tablets) of olanzapine; she was found after 30 hours. As her condition progressed, she presented with rhabdomyolysis, swelling in the thighs and hips, paralytic ileus, digestive tract hemorrhage, and elevated serum amylase and lipase levels; notably, she recovered after treatment. This intractable case is of great clinical significance and suggests that early-phase hemoperfusion plays a critical role in olanzapine poisoning-related rhabdomyolysis.

Adverse local reactions to vaccines containing diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis antigen (DTP) are common, but generally benign. Most often, these reactions are manifested by erythema, induration, and tenderness occurring at the injection site 12 to 24 hours following immunization.1-3 Less frequently, abscess formation may complicate intramuscular injections and these may be staphylococcal, clostridial, or sterile in etiology.4 Tetanus toxoid has been associated with a reaction incidence of 3% to 13%,5,6 and adverse reactions appear to be related to the number of prior immunizations and the height of preexisting antibody responses.3,6 However, recurrent abscess formation associated with hypersensitivity to one or more of the components of the DTP vaccine has not been reported previously.

Blindness due to optic neuritis or panretinopathy has been reported as an acute complication of natural measles infection.5 Recently, loss of visual acuity following measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination with the fundoscopic changes of optic neuritis has been described.6 We have observed a child with blindness due to diffuse neuroretinitis temporally associated with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination and the development of a postvaccination measles syndrome. CASE REPORT A 16-month-old baby girl presented with acute loss of vision 16 days after routine measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination. The infant had been previously healthy and developmentally normal. She had received three previous oral polio and diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccinations without adverse reactions.

The maxillary nerve block (MNB) is a local anaesthetic technique used in dentistry and oromaxillofacial surgery, with recent popular use for minimising adverse reactions during rhinoscopy. A modified approach via the infraorbital foramen using an intravenous catheter has been recently described in the veterinary literature to minimise potential nerve block associated complications. This case report describes inadvertent arterial catheterisation using the aforementioned technique in a 5.4-kg, 9-year-old male neutered Maltese terrier cross that was presented for diagnostic workup of a chronic cough that had recently worsened. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case report of such a complication. It is recommended for veterinary practitioners to be aware of accidental arterial puncture and catheterisation whenever a modified infraorbital approach to the MNB is performed in order to facilitate rapid intervention and management.

Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) is an uncommon neurological disorder characterized by significant rigidity and muscle spasms primarily affecting the truncal and proximal musculature. Furthermore, a wide-based gait with functional impairment is generally seen. High-dose benzodiazepines or baclofen are widely considered the optimal initial therapy; however, major adverse effects often preclude adequate dosing. Refractory cases may be treated with intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), plasma exchange, or B-cell depletion with rituximab, although these are also associated with major, sometimes fatal, adverse reactions. Several reports have validated the safety and utility of botulinum injections in this setting, yet botulinum remains markedly underutilized in this cohort. Below, a case report and review of the literature show botulinum can decrease pain and stiffness, improve gait and balance, and decrease dependence on powerful systemic treatments in this group.
