History Of

A 14-month female child came with complain of cholera like watery loose stool 10-12 times and vomiting 6-7 times, 24 hrs before admission. She was in severe dehydration, hypotension, unconscious with no recorded fever during her stay in hospital and no history of contact with COVID-19. Patient was COVID-19 positive Dehydration and hypotension was corrected, metabolic acidosis continued and eventually patient succumb due to multiple organ failure. This case report should arouse us to suspect COVID infection in every acute Gastroenteritis child who may not have any common symptoms as seen in COVID patient, also who have no history of significant contact with COVID positive patient in family. Some people with COVID-19 develop gastrointestinal symptoms either alone or with respiratory symptoms. Recently, researchers at Stanford University found that a third of patients they studied with a mild case of COVID-19 had symptoms affecting the digestive system. Another recent study Trusted Source published by researchers in Beijing found that anywhere from 3 to 79 percent of people with COVID-19 develop gastrointestinal symptoms.

AbstractIn this rare case, found during routine dissection of head and neck in North Bengal Medical College on the right side of the neck, common carotid artery bifurcated at a higher level than usual and 1.25 cm below the bifurcation, gave a common origin of lingual and superior thyroid artery from its medial side (thyorolingual trunk). No such anomaly was noted on the left side. This type of combination of variations has important clinical implications.

Joint Contractures

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a term that is used to describe the presence of multiple joint contractures at birth. AMC can be seen singularly or in conjunction with other abnormalities. Historically, the term arthrogryposis was used as a disease diagnosis, but it is now clear that AMC is not a disease entity but a syndrome, involving a manifestation of many fetal and neonatal disorders of the neuromuscular system. Its etiology is multifocal, and there is a wide variation in the degree to which muscles and joints are affected. Early identification and implementation of a plan of therapy are essential. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the AMC syndrome, specifically, clinical features, etiology, diagnosis, therapeutic interventions, family support, and outcomes.

Rare Case Report

<p class="abstract">Blount’s disease is more common in Afro-Caribbean, obese, female child. Early walking have been associated with the disease process. Adult patients with Blount’s disease who received no treatment previously, are rarely reported across the other parts of the world and hence less discussed. The treatment of neglected cases of Blount’s disease often requires correction of varus deformity, internal tibial torsion and medial plateau depression. We are reporting one such patient seen at our hospital. A skeletally mature, obese (BMI 43.2), male patient with bilateral tibia vara was operated for hemi-plateau elevation combined with a valgus osteotomy. Fixation was achieved with plate and staples. Surgical correction of one such patient is technically demanding and more complicated. If left untreated , the main risk is premature osteoarthritis.</p>

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious granulomatous disease caused by the air-borne bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis and less frequently by other bacteria in the M. tuberculosis complex (Mycobacterium Bovis and Mycobacterium africanum). Tuberculous osteomyelitis of the condyle may present atypical clinical findings akin to temporomandibular joint arthritis or middle ear infections. A detailed clinical and radiographic examination aided by a histopathological and a microbiological diagnostic workup is the key to timely detection and administration of appropriate therapeutic regimens. A high degree of clinical suspicion is thus advocated in patients with such atypical presentations. We, hereby, are presenting a rare case of tuberculous osteomyelitis in a 15-year-old female child.

Fordyce's disease, a rarely found disease of lips has been reported recently in department of Skin and VD, Gonosashthaya Somaj Vittic Medical College Hospital, Savar, Dhaka. Occasionally it may not be possible to identify the cause. The patient presented with identical features of Fordyce's disease and lip biopsy for histopathology showed the features of Fordyce's disease. Then patient was treated with Pimecrolimus cream and improved. Fordyce's disease is an extremely rare disorder. So its cutaneous findings, histopathology and treatments are highlighted here.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 9, No. 2: Jul 2018, P 148-151

Background: Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) is an inflammatory dermatitis of unknown etiology affecting usually genital region with rare involvement of extragenital regions like face, neck, shoulder etc. Coexistence of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus and morphea is a very rare finding. Although LSA at early stage and morphea can be differentiated clinically and histologically, both diseases at late stage present diagnostic difficulties.Case presentation: We reported a 4-year-old female child presented with a non-pruritic hypopigmented sclerotic patch over left shoulder. Histopathology showed features consistent with both LSA and morphea in the same lesion.Conclusion: Coexistence of both LSA and morphea in same patient suggests that these lesions represent a spectrum of diseases which may reflect similar events or closely related pathologic process.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(1) 2016 p.145-147

Sinus Histiocytosis/Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD) are benign, rare proliferative disorder caused by over production and accumulation of specific type of white blood cell (Phagocytic Histiocyte) in the lymph nodes of the body. Here, lymphadenopathy mostly painless and commonly found in the neck (cervical) but  may occur in other areas of the body such as skin, lung, central nervous system, kidney (less than 5%). Predominantly it affects the young age group of children, adolescents or young adults. In spite of spontaneous remissions, treatment strategies can be different according to involvement and severity (RDD-  Seldom life threatening disease).
