Specific Symptoms

Little attention has been paid for the renal involvement in endometriosis, a rare and silent disorder which ultimately lead to renal failure. Involvement most commonly may be limited to single ureter (left one) and it is usually involvement extrinsically. Although cases have been reported in the literature, true incidence of ureteral involvement is still not known. The diagnosis is difficult as the disease has non-specific symptoms. Only high index of suspicion with radiological support would be helpful in early diagnosis. Early cases may be benefited with progestin or Anti-aromatase therapy, most cases need surgery, either laparoscopically or laparotomy.

Mycotic Infections

Opportunistic fungal infections of the upper limb are rare and require a host who is immunologically compromised. A review of these rare mycotic infections is presented. The hand surgeon should be aware of these infections and should have a high index of suspicion in order to establish an early diagnosis and institute an appropriate management.

Introduction: Scrotal tuberculosis (TB) is rare and may present as painful scrotal swelling with ulceration and discharging sinus. Case Report: A 28 years male with 2 months history of swelling and pain over left scrotum. Developed ulcer over the scrotal region with multiple sinus associated with pus discharge. Conclusion: The clinical presentation of TB scrotal ulcer can be atypical and a high index of suspicion is required for early diagnosis. Diagnosis is by using ultrasonography, microbiology, and biopsy. Treatment requires prolonged ATT for 6 months.

Primary duodenal lymphoma is very atypical, although the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the most prominent site of extra nodal lymphoma. Here we present a case of 25 years old male, presented with upper abdominal pain and vomiting and eventually diagnosed as a case of duodenal non Hodgkin's lymphoma. The particular interest in this report is the fact that, it is important to have a high index of suspicion to diagnose primary intestinal lymphoma as it has high mortality which requires early diagnosis and treatment.    doi: 10.3329/jom.v10i2.2829   J MEDICINE 2009; 10 : 124-127

High Index Of Suspicion

BACKGROUND Ruptured ectopic is a life threatening obstetric emergency. Obstetrician must have a high index of suspicion for ectopic pregnancy and should be aware of importance of early diagnosis and early intervention. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the incidence, clinical presentation, risk factors, treatment and morbidity associated with ectopic pregnancy. METHODS Retrospective analysis of ectopic pregnancy was done in King George Hospital, Visakhapatnam from January 2020 to December 2020 in the department of OBG. The following parameters: Age, risk factors, clinical presentation, site of ectopic, diagnostic methods, mode of treatment were noted. RESULTS A total of 63 cases were reported during this time frame. It is a tertiary care centre getting referrals from nearby districts and other hospitals. Incidence of ectopic pregnancy in the present study is 0.89 %. 41.26 % of patients belonged to age group between 26 to 30 years. Out of 63 cases 49.20 % were multigravida. 28 % of the cases were associated with previous H/O abortions and 23 % of the cases were associated with PID and in 17.4 % of the cases there was no predisposing factors. 96.82 % the patients presented with pain abdomen. Shock in 34.92 % of the cases. Ampulla is the most common site of ectopic. In 76 % of the cases there was hemoperitoneum > 500 ml. Salpingectomy was done in 79.3 % cases. 84 % of cases required blood transfusion > 1 unit. There was no mortality. CONCLUSIONS Ectopic pregnancy is one of the obstetric emergency with significant morbidity and mortality. PID and post abortal sepsis are one of the important risk factors for ectopic pregnancy. As many patients may not have recognizable risk factors, a high index of suspicion is critical for early diagnosis. Early USG diagnosis of ectopic pregnancies reduces mortality and enables us to offer the patient conservative medical and surgical treatment. KEYWORDS Ectopic Pregnancy, TVS, Ampulla, Salpingectomy

Maternal hypercoagulability reduces the risk of postpartum haemorrhage, one of the most important causes of maternal mortality, but results in a five times greater risk of venous thromboembolism in pregnancy and a greater than 20-fold increase in the peripartum period. The diagnosis of venous thromboembolism is often overlooked since dyspnoea, leg swelling, and tachycardia are common symptoms of pregnancy. A high index of suspicion is needed to make an early diagnosis.
