Accidental All Out mosquito repellent ingestion in girl child-A case report

Eruptive lingual papillitis is a common benign disorder manifested by inflammation of fungiform papillae on the dorsolateral surface of the tongue. Several variants of lingual papillitis have been reported since 1997, most or all of them with painful erythematous papules. Here we report a case of 6 years old girl child with non-painful severe variant form of eruptive lingual papillitis presented to the emergency department. The entire dorsal surface of the tongue was surfaced by 2-3mm by multiple erythematous papules and some with a white or yellowish colour. The papules were excessively inflamed, pigmented, aggregated, and crusted. The cause was idiopathic which resolved within ten days. The parent and patient were reassured with advice to practice oral hygiene. This is a rare case report describing non-painful lingual papillitis without a history of any prior episodes.

Mutation Type

ACTA2 mutations are recently described genetically defined abnormalities of blood vessels in various organs of the body with specific abnormalities in cerebral vessels in the form of straightening of all cerebral arteries (“twig-like” pattern), stenosis/occlusions, proximal dilatation, and absent “moyamoya” type of collaterals. We describe a one-and-a half year-old girl child who presented with mild motor developmental delay and on neuroimaging showed septo-preoptic holoprosencephaly, diffuse radial polymicrogyria, and pontine hypoplasia along with magnetic resonance angiographic features suggestive of ACTA2 mutation type of cerebral vessels. However, genetic studies revealed no evidence of ACTA2 mutation, indicating that the “twig-like” pattern may not only be a pathognomonic feature of ACTA2 mutations.

Oral Thrush

AbstractA 5-month-old girl child patient presented to the emergency department for oral thrush and poor feeding but instead demonstrated concern for abuse after physical exam, as findings were consistent with oral injury. Correct identification of the oral findings as traumatic necessitated navigating language and cultural issues before the mechanism of injury and abuse determination could be made. Exploring the involvement of other caregivers was a crucial piece for investigation of the clinical scenario. The incidence of child abuse and pediatric oral injuries concerning for abuse were reviewed in this case report.

Early Benefit

The association of Wilson’s disease (WD) with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) has rarely been documented. The difficulties in differential diagnosis of WD and AIH have seen specially in the paediatric population. Children with WD specially in younger ones, may have clinical features indistinguishable from autoimmune hepatitis. We report a case of 8-year old girl child who presented with jaundice, anaemia, leg oedema and arthritis. Ultimately the patient was diagnosed as a case of WD with AIH after meticulous investigation. Treatment was started with prednisolone, d-penicillamine and subsequently prednisolone was tapered with addition of azathioprine. D-penicillamine was stopped, with clinical and biochemical improvement and zinc was added to continue life-long. Follow up after 8 months of initial treatment she was non anaemic and non-icteric. Her leg oedema and arthritis also subsided. Liver biochemistry returned to normal level. It is important therefore to recommend strongly a thorough screening for AIH in patients with initial diagnosis of WD and also screening for WD for patients presenting with AIH. So a combined therapy may be of early benefit. Ibrahim Card Med J 2015; 5 (1&2): 72-74

Clinical Cases

Abstract Background Mosquito repellent liquid containing Meperfluthrin is widely used in the daily life. Among all clinical cases that children take mosquito repellent by mistake, only a fewwere recorded with serious brain and lung damages caused by Meperfluthrin. Case presentation: This case report presents a 16-month-old child in Xiamen City of China with severe brain and lung injury caused by mistakenly taking mosquito repellent that contains 0.8% Meperfluthrin. The child was treated with mechanical ventilation, fiberoptic bronchoalveolar lavage, anti-infection, 20% mannitol for dehydration, ganglioside and neurologic rehabilitation. The child recovered after 2 months. Conclusion This case shows that the improper administration of Meperfluthrin may cause serious toxic damage to brain and lung. Clinicians and parents should pay attention to prevention and targeting treatment promptly after intoxication.

History Of

Isosexual precocious puberty in a girl child is defined as thelarche before 6 years in African–Americans and 7 years in Caucasians and menarche before the age of 9 years. In 1960, Van Wyk and Grumbach first described a syndrome characterised by breast development, uterine bleeding and multicystic ovaries in the presence of long standing primary hypothyroidism. We describe an interesting case of 8 year old girl presented with the complaint of abdominal mass with history of premature menarche and breast development. She is found to have gross hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, prepubertal LH levels, multicystic ovaries and delayed bone age. Thyroid replacement amazingly settled her problems bringing her to normalcy.
