We report a case of a 48-year-old man from western Austria with severe leptospirosis. This disease occurs worldwide but predominates in the tropics. The infectious urine of a wide variety of domestic and wild animals mediates transmission of the infection, which characteristically has a biphasic

BACKGROUND
The current evidence supports the clinical benefits of late umbilical cord clamping. These benefits include increased blood volume and total body iron. Furthermore, delayed cord clamping facilitates the transplantation of stem cells, which helps the development of infant bodily systems.
Hemorrhage of the adrenal glands in the neonatal period happens secondarily to birth trauma and to changes in venous pressure. Neonatal jaundice has as an infrequent etiology the presence of an adrenal gland hematoma. Symptomatic cases are rare, and if they manifest, it is usually as prolonged
We present the case of a 19-year-old male, admitted in the Ophthalmology Clinic for Macular Chorioretinitis, hemorrhagic form. Laboratory findings shown high titres of icterus-hemorrhages leptospirosis.
Hemobilia is a rare source of gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage. When hepatobiliary bleeding presents as GI bleeding, a history of preceding blunt abdominal trauma is reported in approximately 50% of cases. Often three to four weeks have elapsed between the injury and presentation, and as long as
A six-year-old girl presented with fever, haematemesis, melaena, fluctuating jaundice, tender hepatomegaly, palpable gall bladder and eosinophilia. At laparotomy a liver fluke was removed from the common bile duct. Despite treatment with praziquantel and metronidazole she succumbed to severe
We report a case of a neonate who was diagnosed as having congenital leukemia after presenting with an intracranial hemorrhage. The chief symptom was early-onset jaundice due to the hemorrhage. The intracranial hemorrhage and post-hemorrhage hydrocephalus advanced. In addition, the leukemia worsened
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is a safe procedure and extraintestinal bleeding after EUS-FNA is rare. Two cases of biliary tract bleeding after EUS-FNA was reported, but no case of biliary hemorrhage with obstructive jaundice after EUS-FNA of pancreatic
The adrenal hemorrhage is a relatively rare event in newborns but must be considered in the presence of a persistent unexplained jaundice, especially in presence of predisposing factors. Serial ultrasonography is the modality of choice for initial diagnosis and follow-up of neonatal adrenal
A retrospective review of 409 patients with bile duct obstruction (373 undergoing definitive surgery and 36 undergoing laparotomy only) identified 27 patients who developed significant postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding necessitating transfusion. All 27 had undergone a definitive procedure to
Clinical manifestations of adrenal hemorrhage vary depending on the degree and rate of hemorrhage, as well as the amount of adrenal cortex compromised by hemorrhage. We report here a case of neonatal adrenal hemorrhage that presented with late onset neonatal jaundice. The cause of adrenal hemorrhage
