A 81-year-old female patient suffering from type II diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, hypertension and who neglected taking any medication at home, was referred to our clinic from the "St. Pantelimon" Hospital, where she had been brought by her family one day earlier, because of severely altered state of consciousness. Upon examination she was comatose – 3 pts. on the Glasgow Coma Scale (E1V1M1), had midriatic pupils, was tetraplegic and had abolished reflexes.

AbstractDuring an outbreak of trichinellosis in Eastern Slovakia in 2008, 16 people were hospitalized, including 10 patients having specific anti-Trichinella antibodies. The disease relapse was seen in a 68-year-old woman two weeks after her discharge from hospital, where she was treated with albendazole and prednisone for 10 days. Clinical symptoms of trichinellosis, eosinophilia, elevated CRP and LDH levels were observed again with recorded elevation of aminotransferase levels during the relapse. Herein we discuss a potential cause of unusual relapse of trichinellosis with liver damage in a female patient with type II diabetes mellitus.
