Ocular flutter is a rare, horizontal eye movement disorder characterized by intermittent bursts of conjugate horizontal saccades without intersaccadic intervals. It can occur in various clinical conditions such as metabolic dysfunction, infection and paraneoplastic syndrome. Herein, a 50-year-old male showed ocular flutter in parainfectious meningoencephalitis and immunoglobulin therapy led to an improvement of symptoms. This case can improve the understanding of the pathological mechanisms of ocular flutter.

Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State

Ocular flutter (OF) is a rare eye movement disorder with horizontal saccadic oscillations without inter-saccadic intervals. The OF can occur in various clinical settings. A 83-year-old female showed the OF in hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) following malignant cerebral infarction. The pathophysiology of the OF is still unclear, but this case provides a new information that the OF can occur in the context of toxic-metabolic state such as HHS.

Background: The current COVID-19 pandemic has attracted great attention from the medical world. In the past year, there have been reports of missed or delayed treatments for conditions that mimic COVID-19. The main symptoms caused by SARS-CoV-2, such as fever and cough, belong to different clinical conditions. It is of the utmost importance that the diagnostic thinking used to analyze data and information to reach a COVID-19 diagnosis does not overlook the plethora of different diagnoses related to these symptoms. Case report: The aim of this work is to present the clinical case of a patient having unrecognized HIV infection with a 4-week history of fever, cough, and hypoxia. When tests were allowed to highlight HIV-related immunodeficiency status, a CMV assay was performed in order to evaluate opportunistic pneumonia. Through this, diagnosis of HIV combined with CMV pneumonia was made, thus excluding COVID-19 respiratory insufficiency. Conclusion: The diagnosis of the two conditions in the COVID-19 era is challenging due to overlapping clinical and radiological features and limitations of current diagnostic assays. This causes clinical implications due to diagnostic delays.

ABSTRACTAnti N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) re-ceptor en-cephalitis is an immune medi-ated disorder and it is a dis-order of the limbic system that largelyaf-fects female children. Anti-NMDA recep-tor encephalitis was actually described as a paraneoplastic syndrome as it is associated with ovarianteratomas con-taining neural tissue with an-tibodies cross reacting to the NMDA recep-tors. Here we discuss a case of NMDA re-ceptor en-cephalitis.Keywords: Anti NMDA, Paraneoplastic Syndrome, Tera-toma.

Babesiosis is one of the protozoan zoonotic diseases its presentation rang from asymptomatic to severe clinical conditions, with severe hemolysis. Immune status of the host and the species of the parasite has impact on the clinical presentations of the infected patient our patient is presented here; the patient was admitted from a countryside with severe anemia and a deterioration in his general condition, he was admitted to intense care unit and received blood transfusion, in addition to antimicrobial treatment in form of azithromycin and Ceftriaxon, his condition improve and released from ICU on the second day and discharge from hospital after improvement on the seventh day.
