Verrucous psoriasis is a rare variant of plaque-type psoriasis with only about 35 cases reported. The authors reported a man with a history of psoriasis vulgaris for seven years, presented with progressive verrucous hyperkeratotic plaques on both legs for three years. His earlier investigations favored the diagnosis of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis. After completing the antituberculous therapy, the lesions persisted. The later investigations favored a rare subtype of psoriasis named verrucous psoriasis. Keywords: Verrucous psoriasis, Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Ixekixumab

Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection ◽

LETM is rarely caused by tuberculosis infection. LETM is a contiguous immune-mediated inammatory lesion of the spinal cord that extends to three or more segments of spinal cord. Here we presenting a case of 55 years old female patient with known HIV infection and no history of tuberculosis infection admitted in the hospital with complains of sudden onset of asymmetrical weakness of lower limbs and urinary incontinence from four days. on evaluation she was underwent some series of investigations, in that nally diagnosed with longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis due to tuberculosis infection. Then patient was treated with ART and ATT with steroids and supportive treatment along with physiotherapy. after some days patient condition was gradually improving with treatment and discharged, advised physiotherapy daily and followup on OPD basis. So based on this case report, we recommend that clinicians should suspect mycobacterium tuberculosis infection when patient diagnosed with transverse myelitis

The Body ◽

Background: Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) is one of the major causes of mortality in developing countries. TB is primarily a lung disease, but can affect almost every organ of the body. Skeletal TB involves the bones or joints. In this report, we will introduce a patient with a medical history of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder that presented with spinal tuberculosis (Pott's disease). Case Report: The patient was a 74-year-old man with medical history of TCC of the bladder who had come to hospital due to severe weakness and sprains of lower extremities. Other symptoms noted by the patient included anorexia, weight loss (of 5 kg), and night sweats, but he did not complain of fever, coughs or respiratory symptoms. The lab data were as follows: WBC, 16/9*103; ESR, 88 mm/hr; CRP, 78mg/dl. Radiology findings revealed degenerative process in the L2-L3 lumbar vertebrae and disk. PCR and sample tissue culture results showed the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Conclusion: In the lesions of the lumbar vertebrae, even if there is another underlying disease, spinal TB should also be considered as a possibility. Furthermore, in patients with any type of cancer, any other organ conflict is not considered as metastasis, and tissue sampling should be provided because a change in the type of disease can influence prognosis.

AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare variant of first branchial cleft anomaly.Case report:A 15-year-old girl presented with a history of recurrent mucopurulent discharge from an opening in the left infra-auricular region, since birth. Computed tomography fistulography showed a tortuous tract measuring approximately 4.61 cm, extending anteroinferiorly and medially from the external inframeatal opening to the lateral nasopharyngeal wall (anterior to the fossa of Rosenmuller). The tract was connected to the deep lobe of the parotid gland and lay 0.67 cm anterior to the carotid artery and posterior to the medial pterygoid muscle.Conclusion:This was an extremely rare variant of first branchial cleft fistula. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of its type to be reported. Computed tomography fistulography is the imaging modality of choice for the diagnosis of branchial cleft fistula, and will also assist surgical planning.

The Impact

BACKGROUND: Despite the concern on the impact of coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 on tuberculosis (TB), there is a paucity of information from the developing countries inclusive of Nigeria. CASE REPORT: Hence, we report two cases of Nigerian’ adults with coinfections of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The two cases were males and aged 30 and 33 years, respectively. They presented with cough, fever, and weight loss with features of acute respiratory symptoms and a history of contact with a confirmed COVID-19. The GeneXpert for MTB detected was high, and chest radiographs showed both features suggestive of TB, and COVID-19. They both received quadruple anti-TB regimen, along with lopinavir/ritonavir. The first case was discharged after 15 days, while the second patient died 6 days into the admission. CONCLUSION: This case reports showed that COVID-19 superimposed on TB may not be uncommon in our environment and may have a poorer outcome. Hence, there is a need for a high index of suspicion for TB infection in endemic area during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.

Introduction: The umbilical vein can become recanalised due to portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis but the condition is rarely clinically significant. Although bleeding from this enlarged vein is a known complication, the finding of thrombophlebitis has not been previously described. Case report: We report the case of a 62-year-old male with a history of liver cirrhosis due to alcoholic liver disease presenting to hospital with epigastric pain. A CT scan of the patient’s abdomen revealed a thrombus with surrounding inflammatory changes in a recanalised umbilical vein. The patient was managed conservatively and was discharged home the following day. Conclusion: Thrombophlebitis of a recanalised umbilical vein is a rare cause of abdominal pain in patients with liver cirrhosis.
