Abstract Bordetella organisms are responsible for whooping cough, which is an extremely contagious respiratory illness with substantial morbidity in infants. It is also considered one of the 10 predominant reasons for childhood decease globally, particularly before vaccination was available. Congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS) presents within the first 3 months of life. It is classified as primary or as secondary to other etiologies, such as infections, drug reactions, toxins, mercury exposure, diabetes mellitus and autoimmune diseases. This article describes the rare presentation of CNS as an outcome to Bordetella infection. That is treating pertussis resulted in CNS to resolve, so it was classified as secondary. This case is the first documented in Syria and the second worldwide.

The incidence of congenital nephrotic syndrome secondary to congenital syphilis is very uncommon inclinical practices these days. We present a case of a two-month-old girl, who admitted with fever, cough,distended abdomen. The laboratory informed normal kidney function with Albumin 11.9 g/l; Protein 43.6 g/l;Cholesterol:1.64 mmol/l, Proteinuria 2.8g/l, urine Protein/Creatinin = 10g/mmol , VDRL (+), TPHA (+).Abdominal ultrasound showed ascitis and hepatosplenomegaly. The patient was diagnosed as congenitalnephrotic syndrome secondary to congenital syphilis. She was prescribed Albumin infusion, Diuretics,Penicillin. She presented good evolution and the syndrome was solved after 2 weeks of treatment

Autoimmune diseases including systemic sclerosis (SSc) increase risk of developing TB. Pericostal tuberculosis (TB) is a rare presentation of skeletal TB. This case report describes pericostal TB in a SSc patient, and emphasizes significance of suspecting pulmonary and extra-pulmonary TB when patients with autoimmune disease follow atypical clinical courses.

Background: Psoriasis and vitiligo are common dermatologic conditions with underlying autoimmune etiologies. There are few reports of concomitant and colocalized disease. Several theories have been proposed to explain this rare presentation. Objective: The objective of this study was to present a rare case of a concomitant and colocalized presentation of vitiligo and psoriasis. Methods: Case report. Results: A 72-year-old male was referred for treatment of a 30-year history of psoriasis and 5-year history of colocalized vitiligo. The patient had no other underlying autoimmune diseases including psoriatic arthritis. Conclusion: Clinicians should be aware of the possible concomitance and colocalization of psoriasis and vitiligo. Further research is needed to elucidate the common pathways leading to the concomitance and colocalization of these diseases.

A 42-year-old woman presented with myalgia, which ameliorated a week after treatment. She was diagnosed with Basedow’s disease. The presence of concomitant autoimmune diseases are important considerations for patients with Basedow’s disease presenting with myalgia. Thyrotoxicosis should be included as a rare differential diagnosis for myalgia.
