Candida osteomyelitis is a rare disorder. Its incidence has drastically risen during the last 3 decades. Diagnosis is delayed due to nonspecific symptoms. Thus its management is not done early which leads to increased morbidity. Here we report an immunocompetent case of candida osteomyelitis that presented with prolonged FUO.

Placental mesenchymal dysplasia is a rare disorder mainly characterized by enlarged placenta. Patients on antenatal visits present with normal or slightly raised Beta-HCG, raised Alfa-fetoprotein and cystic structures on USG resembling a molar pregnancy. It has to be differentiated from molar pregnancies to avoid unnecessary termination of pregnancy. This condition is associated with IUGR or IUFD. Mostly the fetus are females. Due to lack of awareness of this condition it remains underreported. Here we present a case report of 20 years old female 37 week pregnant with IUGR with clinical suspicion of molar pregnancy gave birth to alive female fetus and on histopathological examination of placenta was diagnosed with PMD.

A 33-year-old woman presented with a 3-year history of progressive alopecia of the scalp. Past treatment with hydroxicloroquine did not show improvement. Physical examination revealed multiple areas of alopecia with atrophic aspect of the scalp, and axillary and pubic hypotrichosis. Dermoscopy showed hyperkeratosis and accentuation of follicular ostia. Anatomopathological examination revealed decrease in the number of hair follicles, upper perifollicular infiltrate and areas with fibrosis. The Piccardi-Lassueur-Graham-Little syndrome is a rare disorder, characterized by the triad of multifocal scarring alopecia of the scalp, keratotic follicular eruption and hypotrichosis of axillary and pubic regions. Management is a challenge and many medications tried have controversial results. We report a case of this rare syndrome which improved with corticoids.

Hemicrania continua (HC)-tic syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the overlap of HC and trigeminal neuralgia (TN) or TN-like paroxysms. We describe a case of secondary HC-tic syndrome related to fungal sphenoiditis. Less common causes including sphenoiditis should be considered when headache presents with a refractory and complicated form.

AbstractThe Kleine-Levin Syndrome (KLS) a rare disorder comprising of periodic bouts of hypersomnia and megaphagia is reviewed. The syndrome chiefly affects males. The four accepted female cases in the literature are reviewed and a new female case described. This patient had an IQ in the normal range, unlike the other three female cases where the IQ was measured. She showed an abnormal Cortisol rhythm during both a well and an unwell phase replicating the findings of other workers in some KLS patients. This patient showed normal dexamethasone suppression, a test not previously reported on in KLS. The patient also smoked excessively during the bouts, an occurrence not previously remarked on in this disorder.
