Oral Corticosteroid Therapy

Captopril is commonly prescribed to patients with hypertension and congestive heart failure. Adverse dermatological reactions have been reported in about ten percent of patients receiving captopril. This case report describes a 77-year-old white woman who developed bullous pemphigoid associated with the use of captopril. The patient presented with bullous eruptions localized on the palms of both hands about 50 days after captopril 25 mg bid was started. Biopsy report was consistent with bullous pemphigoid. Captopril therapy was discontinued and the lesions healed after oral corticosteroid therapy was initiated.

Oral Corticosteroid Therapy

Spontaneous bilateral rupture of Achilles tendon is rare. Rupture of the Achilles tendon has been described in patients on oral corticosteroid therapy. The sudden dorsiflexion of the plantar-flexed foot is the usual mechanism of injury. Spontaneous bilateral rupture is common in the degenerated tendon, which is often seen in patients with long-term corticosteroid therapy. This case is unusual because the patient has never taken steroids. We discuss the mechanism of injury and other probable causes.

Presbycusis is a disease that can befall the elderly, caused by a multifactorial process that should be allowed to disrupt communication and social life and cause mental disorders. According to WHO the proportion of the elderly population rises rapidly which is estimated in 2025, there are about 1,2 billion elderly people with a risk of presbycusis. Mr.S was 84 years old, married and had 2 children, complained of hearing loss since 10 years ago on the patient's left ear. The decline in hearing occurred gradually, giving the last 4 years after his wife's death. Patients was taken to Otorhinolaryngologist and expressed age-related hearing impairment and was advised to use hearing aids. Patients are not routinely using hearing aids. In addition, patients have hypertension and heart disease. Patients consumed Captopril 2x1 tablets, Fundifar 2x1, Furosemide 1x40 mg and Fargoxin 1x0.25 mg. Patients do not routinely consumed cardiac medicine and used hearing aids. From the results of heteroanamnesis, physical examination, and audiogram examination conducted in Mr.S patients, it can be concluded that Mr.S suffers from presbycusis with hypertensive and congestive heart failure. Mr.S was advised to routinely have their hearing check to Otorhinolaryngologist the as an evaluation and routine control to Cardiologist.

Neonatal Withdrawal

A case of neonatal withdrawal symptoms following maternal use of pentazocine was recently reported.1 This is the report of a second case with severe withdrawal symptoms which were successfully treated with phenobarbital. CASE REPORT A 2,180-gm, small-for-date, black female infant was delivered by cesarean section at 37 weeks' gestation. The mother, a 26-year-old gravida 3, para 0 woman with sickle cell anemia, had several painful sickle cell crises, congestive heart failure, pneumonia, and a urinary tract infection during this pregnancy. The two previous pregnancies had ended in abortion. In the second half of this pregnancy, she was treated with frequent packed-cell transfusions in order to decrease to less than 50% the number of her erythrocytes with sickle hemoglobin and hence the risk of clinical sickling.
