We report the case of a 48 year old man who attended the Accident and Emergency Department after smuggling a large number of pellets of cannabis resin in his gastro-intestinal tract. Five days after ingesting the pellets, which were wrapped in portions of rubber condom, he developed abdominal pain and proctitis. He continued to exhibit a pyrexia even after the removal of the majority of the pellets, and was investigated for pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO). The importance of obtaining a good history from sick travellers, and the need for thorough physical examination, are emphasized.

Histoplasmosis is usually clinically suspected only in people who reside in, are migrants from or are travelling to endemic areas such as North America. Immunocompetent patients with a low level of exposure typically have either subclinical or mild and self-limiting infection. The most common risk for the development of progressive disseminated form is HIV infection. We recently managed two patients with disseminated histoplasmosis, presenting with prolonged fever, significant weight loss, pallor and hepatosplenomegaly. Both were HIV-negative and lived in Himachal Pradesh (India), a region that was considered “ Histoplasma-free” until recently.

Giant cell arteritis may present atypically with symptoms of malaise, anorexia, weight loss and fever that could lead to diagnostic difficulties. We describe two cases which the prominent initial feature was protracted pyrexia. Clinicians should seriously consider temporal artery biopsy in such cases.

Symptom Complex

Female genital tuberculosis is one the known causes of infertility in the tropics. The symptom complex are diverse and it is one of the known causes of pyrexia of unknown origin. Instances of mimicry of ovarian cancer with raised CA125, have been reported. We present a case report in a 42-year-old woman with abdominal pain and progressive abdominal pain of 3 weeks durations, who had confounding symptom of raised CA125, forcing a presumptive diagnosis of ovarian cancer. She had exploratory total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH). The surgical findings and histopathological diagnosis were suggestive of tuberculosis, for which she is undergoing treatment and showing remarkable improvement.

Whipple’s disease (WD) is an uncommon cause of seronegative arthritis. WD is known for its gastrointestinal symptoms of diarrhea, weight loss, and abdominal pain. However, arthritis may precede gastrointestinal symptoms by 6 to 7 years. We describe a case of an 85-year-old Caucasian male with multiple joint complaints, not responsive to traditional treatments for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. We suggest that WD be considered for seronegative arthritis especially affecting large joints.

A 23-year-old girl presented with severe cyclical lower abdominal pain during menstruation since menarche, which had increased since the last 4 years. Transabdominal ultrasound showed adnexal mass with no internal vascularity; MRI reported it as bicornuate uterus with one non-communicating right uterine horn with haematometra. On hysteroscopy there was evidence of septate uterus communicating only to the left ostia. Ultrasonography-guided hysteroscopic resection of septa with drainage of haematometra was done. Patient is presently asymptomatic.

Obesity is an epidemic in our society, and rates continue to rise, along with comorbid conditions associated with obesity. Unfortunately, obesity remains refractory to behavioral and drug therapy but has shown response to bariatric surgery. Not only can long-term weight loss be achieved, but a majority of patients have also shown improvement of the comorbid conditions associated with obesity. A rise in the use of surgical therapy for management of obesity presents a challenge with an increased number of patients with problems after bariatric surgery. It is important to be familiar with symptoms following bariatric surgery, such as nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, dysphagia, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding and to utilize appropriate available tests for upper gastrointestinal tract pathology in the postoperative period.
