Capd Patient

Neurological complications of varicella zoster virus (VZV) reactivation have rarely been described in dialysis patients. We report a case of a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patient who developed herpes zoster encephalitis. The patient was treated with acyclovir and steroids and had a slow but complete return to her prior cognitive status. The available literature is reviewed and the differential diagnosis with acyclovir toxicity is discussed.

Idiopathic Erythrocytosis

Congenital erythrocytosis (CE) is an extremely rare disease and an infrequent cause of heamoglobin and haematocrit elevation. Genetic testing of CE is not widely available. Patients in whom a cause of erythrocytosis is not identified are classified as idiopathic erythrocytosis (IE) patients. In some types of CE thrombotic events have been reported but there is little hard evidence to advise on management in asymptomatic patients. Similarly is true for patients with IE. We describe a young patient who suffered several thromboembolic complications before the diagnosis of CE type 4 was established.
