Dilutional Hyponatraemia

The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) secretion is a frequent cause of hyponatraemia. It is a dilutional hyponatraemia secondary to impaired urinary dilution in the absence of renal disease or any identifiable non-osmotic stimulus known to induce antidiuretic hormone secretion. SIADH can arise secondary to various respiratory tract infections; however, the association between SIADH and influenza A infection is described in only a few cases in the literature. The authors present a case report of influenza A that may have caused a profound SIADH-related hyponatraemia.

Primary complement deficiencies are very rare and a case of 6 year old girl with complement 3 deficiency is reported here who presented with recurrent infections and rash since her early childhood. She had several episodes of respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections and various episodes of gastro enteritis and was treated subsequently every time with injectable antibiotics. Later she developed encysted hydropneumothorax with mild pleural thickening with compression collapse of adjacent right lung. On investigation complement 3 level was found below normal both in the patient and in her parents and younger sister. This case is reporting here in order to disseminate the message that underlying cause of recurrent infections could be primary immunodeficiency (C3). J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2020; 38(2): 101-104
