A Case Report and Literature Review of Scrub Typhus With Acute Abdomen and Septic Shock in a Child—The Role of Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis and Granulysin

AbstractBackgroundCerebral fat embolism (CFE) syndrome at high altitude was rare complicated with paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) syndrome and septic shock. It is a challenge to differential diagnosis and treatment at high altitude.Case presentationThis case presents a CFE with PSH and septic shock of a 23-year-old man occurred at high altitude of 3800 m above sea level, transferred by airplane successfully and cured in the department of neurosurgery, Xi’an Tangdu Hospital.ConclusionsIt is key that CFE with PSH can be rapid diagnosed and treatment bundles of septic shock should be initiated as soon as possible. Early neurological rehabilitation played an important role for good outcome.

Acute Cytomegalovirus

Viral infection is known to induce transient autoimmunity in humans. Acute cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is implicated in occasional thrombosis formation. We here, for the first time, report a 19-year-old female who had an acute CMV infection, leading to a deep venous thrombosis and a pulmonary embolism along with transient appearance of lupus anticoagulant. The pathological role of antiphospholipid antibodies in CMV-mediated thrombosis is discussed.

Fournier's Gangrene ◽

Prodromal Symptoms

Fournier's gsngrene is a rare disease involving the scrotum and the penis with occasional extension up to the abdominal wall. The etiology of the disease, commonly without prodromal symptoms and with sudden onset, is still not fully understood. The organisms are usually streptococcus haemoliticus and/or anerobic bacteria. We report a case of Fournier's gangrene, presenting septic shock. The patient was treated with reanimatory care, antibiotics, local excision and debridment. Speaking about anatomical and etiopathogenetic hypotheses, we discuss the diagnostic problems and the treatment of the disease. We emphasize the role of the early diagnosis.
