ObjectiveWe report a case of a 58-year-old gentleman who was hospitalised intermittently for one year due to treatment resistant schizophrenia. Prior to hospitalisation he had been prescribed standard antipsychotics for decades without full resolution of positive psychotic symptoms. During his final admission lasting six months he was guarded, suspicious, irritable, constantly paced the corridor and displayed thought block and paranoid persecutory delusions. He would not enter the assessment room or allow any blood or ECG monitoring, however, he was compliant with oral medication. He was successfully treated with high dose olanzapine (40mg/day) and was discharged to the community. The aim of this study is to bring awareness and add to the body of evidence for the use of high-dose olanzapine in patients with treatment resistant schizophrenia in whom a trial of clozapine is not possible.Case reportThe patient gave written consent for this case report to be written and presented. An extensive literature review was performed and key papers were identified. Discussion focuses on the key areas in the literature.DiscussionThis case demonstrates that high-dose olanzapine can be used effectively as an alternative to clozapine in treatment resistant schizophrenia.ConclusionThis case highlights the need for further evaluation of high-dose olanzapine as an alternative to clozapine in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia.

Abstract Unilateral laterothoracic exanthem (ULE), or asymmetric periflexural exanthem of childhood (APEC), is an uncommon skin eruption that usually occurs in childhood, with unilateral distribution and self limiting course. The etiology of ULE is unknown, but viral cause is suspected. We report a case of ULE in a 4-year-old girl, that was associated with parvo virus B19 infection, and a brief selected literature review. The patient presented with unilateral maculopapular rash on the left side of the body which was asymptomatic and resolved spontaneously within 5 weeks. The clinical diagnosis of ULE may be precise, ruling out a broad spectrum of differential diagnosis, and prevent unnecessary examinations, whereas the patient is informed about the benign self-limiting nature of ULE.

Clinical Presentations

Lichen planopilaris is a rare inflammatory condition that is also known as follicular lichen planus. Although the condition commonly affects the scalp, it sometimes involves the other regions of the body with a variety of clinical presentations. The involvement beyond the scalp is considered to be a generalized nature of disease process. In this report, we present a case of generalized follicular lichen planus in a 34-year-old Thai female presenting with comedone-like lesions on the trunk and extremities as well as scarring alopecia on the scalp. Dermoscopic features were also discussed.

Abstract A case of hematogenous Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis isolated to the 2nd cervical vertebra is presented. To our knowledge, this is the second case to be reported of hematogenous infection involving only the body and odontoid process of the axis. The first report was published prior to the advent of computed tomography, bone scans, and halo orthosis. The pathophysiology of blood-borne atlantoaxial infection is described, as well as methods of diagnostic evaluation and therapeutic recommendations. The use of computed tomography to define the extent of the lesion is illustrated.

We present the case of a 42-year-old patient who came to the emergency room after taking sulindac as a treatment for diabetic neuropathy, presenting 4 days later a maculo-violaceous rash on the chest accompanied by vesicles, pruritus, extending to the abdomen and upper extremities and lower lesions and fever, affecting approximately 25% of the body surface, basophil degranulation was performed, reporting 50% for sulindac. A literature review was carried out in order to update the current knowledge about Steven Johnson syndrome in the hospital environment, etiology, clinical manifestations, epidemiology,diagnosis and treatment.
