Background: Guillen barre syndrome is the most frequent cause of flaccid paralysis in the world, it is characterized by an acute demyelinating, autoimmune and multiple etiology polyneuropathy, among which are included infectious agents such as Campylobacter jejuni, Zika virus, of genetic and environmental factors. Case Report: We present the case of a 56-year-old Colombian male patient with a history of hypertension, who entered the intensive care unit with symptoms of atypical asymmetric motor neurological compromise, which rapidly progressed to ventilatory failure and subsequent confinement síndrome. Discussion: Guillen barre síndrome establishes a potentially fatal disease, the semiology of pain, paresthesia, symmetric-progressive, distal weakness, instability, hipo/areflexia, constitute a neurological emergency. There are Clinical variants establishing a great.

Oesophageal disorders are relatively uncommon in large animals. Oesophageal obstruction is the most frequently encountered clinical presentation in bovine and it may be intraluminal or extra luminal (Haven, 1990). Intraluminal obstruction or “choke” is the most common abnormality that usually occurs when foreign objects, large feedstuff, medicated boluses, trichobezoars, or oesophageal granuloma lodge in the lumen of the oesophagus. Oesophageal obstructions in bovine commonly occur at the pharynx, the cranial aspect of the cervical oesophagus, the thoracic inlet, or the base of the heart (Choudhary et al., 2010). Diagnosis of such problem depends on the history of eating particular foodstuff and clinical signs as bloat, tenesmus, retching, and salivation

Oral ulceration is a common condition that can affect the oral mucosa, and patients often present in both primary and secondary care. There are a number of causes of oral ulceration, ranging from trauma to malignancy. The cause of the oral ulceration can be difficult to establish, especially when the history and investigations do not support an obvious cause. We report a case of a 19-year-old male who presented with a 2-month history of worsening oral ulceration. Despite further questioning and investigations, the cause of the oral ulceration remained elusive. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To understand the clinical presentation and causes of oral ulceration.

Abstract Background: Dengue is a widespread disease affecting many countries and about two fifth of the world is at risk for this disease. In India, the dengue incidence has increased in recent past and emerged as an important health problem in many states including Odisha. Cases with dengue co-infection with other diseases usually have atypical clinical presentation.Methods: A facility based longitudinal study was carried out over a period of one year to determine the dengue co-infection and its outcome. The suspected cases were clinically assessed following a standard case report format and serological investigations including serotyping were carried out.Results: 33.6% samples were dengue positive of which 78.5% were positive for NS1 Ag, 26.6% positive for dengue IgM and 5.1% to both. Among the dengue positive cases, 60.9% were male and mean age was 31.52 (+/- 17.03) years. High occurrence of cases was during May to November with maximum in August. Among the 975 dengue positives, 57 (5.8%) were found to have co-infection. Chikungunya was the most common co-infection in 71.9%, followed by herpes simplex (HSV) (7%) and other diseases. Fever was the most common presenting symptom (98.2%), followed by myalgia (91.2%), pain abdomen (12.3%), Rash/lesion (8.8%), burning micturition (5.3%), Petechiae (1.7%) and Pruritus (1.7%) among the co-infected cases.While DEN-2 serotype was observed in majority (74.1%) more than two serotypes was found in 5.85% of dengue positives .Conclusions: All the four dengue serotypes were found to be circulating with DEN-2 as the most predominant one. About 5.8% of dengue cases have co-infection (mainly with chikungunya) and clinically present with atypical signs and symptoms.

AbstractPleomorphic adenoma arising in the external auditory canal is rare. We report the case of a 38-year-old man. To better grasp the clinical features and natural history of this uncommon tumour, we also reviewed the world wide literature and found 24 similar cases, which we analysed together with our own.

Background: Keratoderma is a group of conditions characterized by hyperkeratosis affecting the skin on the soles of the feet and palms of the hands bilaterally. The classification of keratodermas depends on whether it is inherited or acquired and on its clinical features, including diffuse or focal involvement of the skin and the morphology of lesions present. Case Report: We describe the rare case of a 54-year-old female who presented with a nearly 40-year history of punctate keratoderma on her right palm and sole. History taking revealed that her biologic son also has unilateral left-sided keratoderma. The clinical presentation of unilateral keratoderma has been reported only four times in the literature.

Oslerus osleri (O. osleri), found throughout the world, reportedly is the most common respiratory nematode of wild and domestic dogs. Oslerus osleri infestation was diagnosed in a 1.5-year-old Scottish terrier presenting with a seven-week history of progressive cough. Diagnosis was based upon visualization of characteristic lesions on bronchoscopic evaluation and recovery of O. osleri larvae from tracheal and bronchoalveolar lavage samples on fecal analyses. Therapy was successful using anti-inflammatory doses of prednisone (0.5 mg/kg body weight, per os [PO] every other day) and thiabendazole (35 mg/kg body weight, PO q 12 hrs for five days; then 70 mg/kg body weight, PO q 12 hrs for 21 days).

Endemic Areas

Although cutaneous larva migrans is more commonly seen in the southeastern US and tropical regions of the world, patients with such parasitic involvement may present in other non-endemic areas for various reasons, particularly travelers returning from tropical vacations. Awareness of the clinical presentation and symptomatology of cutaneous larva migrans is important for all physicians, including those practicing in northern climates, for prompt recognition and effective treatment of the disease. Furthermore, cutaneous larva migrans should be of particular interest to podiatrists, because the infestation commonly involves the feet, and a patient may initially present for treatment of secondary manifestations, ie, dermatitis, pruritus, or infection, as in this case report.

Rhinoscleroma is a chronic granulomatous inflammatory disease caused by Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. Initially described as a lesion of the nose, rhinoscleroma may involve any part of the respiratory tract. Although it is endemic in many parts of the world, rhinoscleroma has been rarely recognized in the U.S. In this report, we present a case of rhinoscleroma that illustrates the diagnostic challenge and therapeutic dilemma this disease presents. The significance of laryngeal involvement is emphasized. We review the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of rhinoscleroma. Ciprofloxacin was found effective in controlling acute symptom; however, longterm, high dose treatment has not been curative.

Aneurysms of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are exceedingly rare; less than 50 cases have been reported in the world literature. Owing to the paucity of data regarding the natural history of IVC aneurysms, there is no consensus on their treatment. This case report describes the evaluation of an IVC aneurysm in a 56-year-old male, briefly discusses the embryologic development of the IVC, and revisits the question of whether surgical intervention is indicated in these patients.
