Dengue fever (DF) is major health hazard around the world in recent decades especially in India. Flu like illness to polyserositis among common presentation of DF. Dengue fever presenting as pulmonary hemorrhage is rare. Here we present a case of 16 -year young male patient presented with fever and shortness of breath, initially diagnosed as dengue fever by serological examination. CT chest findings mimiking as pneumonia ,however further fall in hemoglobin and progressive dysnoea, bronchoscopy and bronchial wash cytology done which reveal association of pulmonary hemorrhage. This case report alerted clinicians about rare presentation and high index of suspicion of pulmonary hemorrhage in DF with dysnoea for early diagnosis and to avoid its fatal outcome.

<p class="abstract">Presentation of two papulosquamous disorders in a same individual is rare condition till date. Independently, psoriasis and Lichen planus (LP) are common inflammatory skin conditions affecting around 2-3% and 1% of HIV (Human immune deficiency) positive population respectively. As reviewed in the literature, psoriasis may be independently associated with other autoimmune conditions like vitiligo, alopecia areata, lichen planus, and discoid lupus erythematosus. In this article, we presented a case report of a HIV seropositive patient who suffered from psoriasis and lichen planus. The coexistence of psoriasis and lichen planus in one individual is rare and underreported in literature. Psoriasis or lichen planus may be the presenting feature of HIV infection and tends to be more severe, to have atypical presentations. Psoriasis and lichen planus can be coexistent or successionally appear one after other in one individual though rare presentation. High index of suspicion is always required while dealing with papulosquamous lesions in PLHIV.</p><p> </p>

We present a unique case of a colonic lithobezoar in a relatively healthy, young male with no history of psychological or psychiatric disorders. Furthermore, unlike previously reported cases, this patient had no history of gastric surgery. The mode of presentation and the rariety of disease pose difficulties in diagnosis of lithobezoar. The different modalities of treatment, both surgical and nonsurgical, were thought of and discussed. The diagnosis of a lithobezoar in a healthy patient requires a high index of suspicion, as it presents with nonspecific symptoms. The standard treatment for bezoars is discussed but lithobezoar needs special mention due to its rariety and no specific surgery guidelines.

Introduction: High-pressure injection injuries have been chronicled for decades. These injuries often affect distal extremities as they are most commonly involved in workplace accidents. However, we discuss a young male with a paint-gun injection injury to his face. Case Report: We discuss the case of a young man presenting to the emergency department after high-pressure injection injury to the face. He eventually underwent extensive debridement of the face. We discuss differences in caring for an injection wound to an extremity versus the face, including time sensitivity of treatment, initial stabilizing measures, and critical steps. Discussion: This case demonstrates a rare presentation of a high-pressure paint injection injury. This injury presented a unique surgical challenge where, despite compartment syndrome being less common, cosmetic outcome and infectious complication prevention remained critical priorities. Conclusion: While similarities exist in management of an injection injury to a limb, due to the rarity and deceptive appearance of this particular injury to the face, high suspicion along with urgent imaging and surgical consultation is warranted.

We present a rare case of tubercular otitis media presenting as post auricular swelling with no evidence of pulmonary or any other foci of tuberculosis. Diagnosis was made on the basis of acid fast bacilli seen in fine needle aspirate. Anti-tubercular drugs were initiated and patient responded well to treatment.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

High Index Of Suspicion

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorder is a rare disorder characterised by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract. There are various gastrointestinal manifestations with eosinophilic ascites being the most unusual and rare presentation. Diagnosis requires high index of suspicion and exclusion of various disorders associated with peripheral eosinophilia. There are no previous case reports to suggest an association between eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorder and coeliac disease in adults. We report a case of eosinophilic ascites and gastroenteritis in a 30-year-old woman with a known history of coeliac disease who responded dramatically to a course of steroids.
