A case of concurrent chikungunya virus and dengue virus infection is reported here. The patient presented with fever and generalized body ache. Diagnostic work-up revealed chikungunya-dengue co-infection. Dengue is endemic in Bangladesh while chikungunya is a recently emerging infection. As both the viruses are transmitted by a common vector, Aedes spp., such co-infections are likely to increase in coming years.IMC J Med Sci 2018; 12(1): 42-43

Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis

SummaryHLH is a life-threatening disease, which is characterized by a dysregulated immune response with uncontrolled T cell and macrophage activation. The often fulminant course of the disease needs a fast diagnostic work-up to initiate as soon as possible the appropriate therapy. We present herein the case of a 71-year-old patient with rapidly progressive hyperinflammatory syndrome, which post mortem resulted in the diagnosis of EBV-associated HLH. With this case report, we intend to highlight the relevance of the HScore in the diagnosis of HLH, to create a greater awareness for EBV as a trigger of HLH, and to demonstrate the importance of treating EBV-associated HLH as early as possible.

Diagnostic Work Up

Mucormycosis is a form of fulminant invasive fungal infection of the sinonasal tract that often extends to the orbit, brain, palate, and skin. It is caused by members of the order Mucorales, and it is considered to be the most fatal fungal infection known to man. It is most commonly associated with diabetic ketoacidosis, hematologic malignancies, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, see AIDS. , and immunosuppressive therapy. This rare opportunistic infection exists in many forms, the most common of which is rhinocerebral mucormycosis. Treatment includes aggressive surgical debridement of the necrotic tissue combined with systemic antifungal therapy. In this case report, we describe the successful management of rhinoorbitocerebral mucormycosis, a subtype of the rhinocerebral variety, complicated by osteomyelitis of cranium. We review the diagnostic work-up and discuss the literature with respect to the presentation, pathophysiology, management, and outcome of the disease.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/birdem.v2i2.12331(Birdem Med J 2012; 2(2):124-127)

Melioidosis is an uncommon disease in Bangladesh but in recent years increasing numbers of cases are being diagnosed. A case of septicaemic melioidosis occurring in a young Bangladeshi returning worker is reported here. The patient presented with fever and features of septic arthritis. Diagnostic work-up revealed the growth of Burkholderia pseudomallei from blood and synovial fluid cultures. This case highlights the importance of high index of clinical suspicion for melioidosis in appropriate clinical scenario.Bangladesh J Medicine Jul 2018; 29(2) : 94-96

Parathyroidectomy, of the 4 glands, with/without thyroidectomy is the most common cause of hypoparathyroidism. Autoimmunity is a rare etiology, either as an isolated endocrinopathy or as a component of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome 1 (APS 1). In this case report; we describe a patient with an adult-onset hypoparathyroidism and discuss its pathophysiology in relation to calcium-sensing receptors in addition to its diagnostic work up and management.
