ABSTRACTRifaximin is one of the common drugs used in clinical practice in the management of traveler’s diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and hepaticencephalopathy. Hyponatremia is one of the rare side effects of this drug. We hereby present the case of a middle-aged woman who was a known caseof IBS: Diarrhea predominant who developed symptoms of hyponatremia after a short duration of rifaximin treatment, no other cause of hyponatremiawas found on evaluation, so we suspect this as a rare side effect of rifaximin therapy.Keywords: Rifaximin, Hyponatremia, Irritable bowel syndrome.

ObjectivesPropranolol, the first discovered b-adrenergic receptor antagonist, has been prescribed by physicians in various fields for more than three decades. It has been applied for treating psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, mania and anxiety disorders, as well as for controlling withdrawal symptoms or other side effects.MethodsWe describe the case of an 11-year-old boy with bipolar-I disorder comorbid with panic disorder who developed manic symptoms with a single dose of 10 mg of propranolol.Results and ConclusionAlthough depression is a better-known side effect of b-adrenergic antagonists, clinicians should take mania as a rare side effect into consideration as well.

Kayexalate has been used in the USA since 1975 for the treatment of hyperkalemia. Prior case reports have shown that sorbitol added to kayexalate has been known to cause rare side effects of colonic necrosis. We present a unique case report of gastric pneumatosis as a complication of kayexalate.

BACKGROUND: One of the harshest side effects following anticancer agent treatments is chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain. After surgical staging, chemotherapy combination of paclitaxel carboplatin could be a choice of therapy for Stage II or more advanced stage of ovarian cancer. Different side effects may appear after the application of paclitaxel. CASE REPORT: Here, we show an uncommon case of paclitaxel-acute pain syndrome (P-APS), and how we deal with such cases according to our experiences. One uncommon side effect is P-APS, which can be treated effectively with the administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroid, and supportive therapy. CONCLUSION: One uncommon side effect of Paclitaxel induced neuropathic can be treated effectively with the administration of non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs, corticosteroid, and supportive therapy.

Rare Side Effect

A 41-year-old patient with Metastatic Breast Cancer suffered from pneumonitis after administration of cyclophosphamide. A CT angiogram with IV contrast was compatible with bronchopneumonia and it was treated with broad spectrum antibiotics. Other causes of pulmonary disease were ruled out concluding patient developed cyclophosphamide induced pneumonitis. Thus, more attention is required to the serious and rare side effects of cyclophosphamide related lung toxicities. In this case report, we will focus on the rare side effects such as cyclophosphamide-induced pneumonitis (AIP) occurring in less than 1% of the population.

Drug-induced thrombocytopenia is a poorly understood, yet common phenomenon widely encountered in clinical practice. We present a case of suspected levofloxacin-induced thrombocytopenia, a rare side effect of a ubiquitous antibiotic, in a patient without similar effect to ciprofloxacin. This report builds upon other isolated case reports of fluoroquinolone-induced thrombocytopenia and demonstrates our algorithmic approach to the issue as well as a literature review pertaining to fluoroquinolone-induced thrombocytopenia.

We present a case of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) induced by the chimpanzee adenovirus-vectored vaccine, without evidence of thrombosis, eight days after vaccine administration. The thrombocytopenia condition improved after administering steroid treatment. This adenovirus vaccine had been reported to induce rare side effects, such as immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia. This case report showed that it could also induce immune thrombocytopenia without the presence of thrombosis. Therefore, we should be cautious of this rare side effect as global vaccine administrations against coronavirus disease increase.

Acute Myeloid

Myeloid sarcoma represents the proliferation of myeloblasts of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at extramedullary sites. While extramedullary involvement in AML is uncommon in itself, isolated myeloid sarcomas, that is, myeloid sarcomas without any bone marrow involvement, are extremely rare and pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Here, we present the case of a middle-aged woman with isolated myeloid sarcoma in the stomach—an organ seldom involved by this disease. Additionally, the literature on the epidemiology, diagnosis, pathology, prognosis, and therapeutic options in myeloid sarcomas has been reviewed.
