Immunocompetent Patients

CMV infections are generally thought to be opportunistic by immunosuppression. Many literature cases though indicate that CMV infections can be also observed in immunocompetent patients. We present an unusual case of an extensive concentric benign stenosis due to CMV colitis and a case of coexistence with Crohn’s Disease, both observed in nonimmunosuppressed individuals. The right diagnosis was set after implementation of multiple unsuccessful treatment strategies. Our purpose is therefore to familiarize clinicians involved with the diagnosis and treatment of gastroenterological diseases with this entity.

AbstractThe main aim of this case report is to thoroughly describe the steps of diagnosis and treatment in the rare incidence of patellar tendon gouty tophus. The case of a 53-year-old man manual worker who was treated with open excision of the lesion, following failure of extended medical treatment with rheumatological input, is presented. Surgical treatment led to full restoration of the patient's knee function. Open or arthroscopic surgery is a viable option for the unusual case of intratendinous patellar gouty deposition if the patient fails medical management. Medical treatment should still be the mainstay.

High Index Of Suspicion

Subglottic and tracheal malignancies are the least frequently encountered laryngeal cancers. When these tumors are encountered, they have often reached advanced size prior to producing symptoms. Once symptoms are brought to the attention of the otolaryngologist, rapid and accurate diagnosis is essential to effect the earliest possible treatment and to minimize morbidity and mortality associated with this problem. Illustrative cases are presented including a highly unusual case that presented with cardiac-like chest pain. A review of the literature including the pertinent anatomy, pathophysiology, and methods of diagnosis and treatment is presented. Increased familiarity with this disease process and a high index of suspicion on the part of the otolaryngologist may lead to improved survival patterns in patients with these malignancies.

Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare manifestation of an aggressive fungal infection. Early diagnosis and treatment are vitally important in improving outcome. We report an unusual case presenting with progressive necrotizing fasciitis due to mucormycosis following trauma and dressing by man-made herbal agents.

High Clinical Suspicion

Despite the increasing incidence of syphilis and due to its wide variety of clinical manifestations, syphilis remains an under-diagnosed condition. We report an unusual case of secondary syphilis presenting with acute hepatitis and skin lesions, confirmed based on positive treponemal and non-treponemal assays. Despite adequate diagnosis and treatment, the patient developed fulminant hepatitis and brain death. This atypical presentation emphasizes the importance of high clinical suspicion in recognizing syphilis as an etiology for unexplained acute hepatitis, allowing early diagnosis and treatment and possibly avoiding severe complications such as fulminant hepatic failure.
