Current Report

Abstract Miliary tuberculosis (TB) presents a major challenge following a renal transplant in humans. In the current report, we described a patient with disseminated TB following renal transplantation. The article presents the case of a 38-year-old man who presented an 8-month history of fever, chills, sweating, low-back pain and significant weight loss. Chest radiography and computed tomography (CT) scan showed miliary nodules distributed in the two lungs. The transbronchial lung biopsy revealed a granulomatous reaction with caseous necrosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain found multiple tuberculomas. Also, MRI of the lumbosacral was indicative of a psoas abscess. Therefore, miliary pulmonary, cerebral and spinal TB was confirmed. The patient was started on an anti-TB regimen and paravertebral aspiration was also done. The patient’s condition improved considerably. In conclusion, this case report can remind us of the importance of maintaining a high clinical suspicion and performing a thorough workup to establish a timely diagnosis and treatment of miliary TB.

Here we describe a case of Reye syndrome diagnosed at postmortem liver biopsy of a three-year oldgirl who presented with vomiting, low grade fever for three days and loss of consciousness for 18hours. Clinically, the differential diagnoses were meningitis, encephalitis and septicemia. No historyof past illness or any drug ingestion including aspirin were present. Laboratory investigationsindicated a diagnosis of Reye syndrome. The child was given supportive treatment but died aftertwo days of admission and postmortem needle-biopsy of the liver showed microvesicular steatosisconsistent with Reye syndrome.Key words: Microvesicular steatosis, mitochondrial hepatopathy, Reye syndrome, Reye-like syndrome

Gonadotropin Secretion

A 42-year-old man developed hypogonadotropic hypogonadism due to primary hemochromatosis. Endocrine evaluation indicated a hypothalamic defect in the control of gonadotropin secretion. Although cirrhosis was present on liver biopsy, ocher major features of the hemochromatosis syndrome were not manifest. Patients with hemochromacosis arc now being diagnosed at earlier stages of disease. Clinicians should be alert to possible early development of hypothalamopituitary dysfunction and should be prepared co perform derailed endocrinological investigations in such patients.
