Atmış B, Kışla-Ekinci RM, Melek E, Bişgin A, Yılmaz M, Anarat A, Karabay-Bayazıt A. Concomitance of Familial Mediterranean Fever and Gitelman syndrome in an adolescent. Turk J Pediatr 2019; 61: 444-448. Gitelman syndrome is a renal tubular salt-wasting disorder characterized by hypokalemic metabolic
BACKGROUND
We present the first case of Morvan's syndrome (MoS) and myasthenia gravis (MG) related to familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) gene mutations.
METHODS
A 40-year-old woman with a 1-year history of bilateral ptosis and limb muscle weakness presented to our hospital. She also had memory
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed using as antigen a potassium chloride extract of Brucella abortus strain 1119-3 for detecting Brucella antibodies in bulk tank samples of cow's milk. Three-hundred-thirty-four Milk Ring Test (MRT) suspicions milk samples originating from
We report a case that has Gitelman syndrome (GS) and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) presenting with recurrent arthritis of right knee and heel pain. Investigations showed hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia with urinary magnesium wasting. Genetic analysis revealed the presence of heterozygous E148Q
Brucellosis is a multisystem disease that may present with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. Until now, no studies have been performed on renal tubular disorders in patients with brucellosis. The present study aims to investigate renal tubular disorders in patients with brucellosis. This
A patient with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) associated with renal amyloidosis, presented with hyperkalemia and acidosis which were excessive to his moderate degree of azotemia. The cause of this abnormality was isolated hypoaldosteronism with otherwise normal adrenal function and tubular
Drug-associated hypocalcemia is rare, but may occur during routinely administered drugs. We reported a case of vertebral brucellosis, which developed two hypocalcemic episodes associated with hypokalemic alkalosis with two drug combinations including rifampicin. Possible underlying mechanisms of
Disease relapse is one of the most important challenges in treating brucellosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of doxycycline-loaded solid nanoparticles (DOX-SLN) on acute and chronic brucellosis, serum levels of trace elements, and biochemical and hematological parameters in
The renin-aldosterone system and plasma insulin were studied in 19 patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). Their relationships to serum potassium level at rest and before and after oral glucose loading are described. An interesting finding is the occurrence of hyperkalemia in the absence
Alterations in affinity of amyloid for Congo red after incubation of tissue sections with potassium permanganate, as described by Wright el al, were studied. The affinity of amyloid for Congo red after incubation with potassium permanganate did not change in patients with myeloma-associated
BACKGROUND Our study aimed to demonstrate the frequency of the syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH) and associated factors during the course of brucellosis in children and adolescents. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included children and adolescents aged 0-18 years old diagnosed with
We report on 10 patients with acute renal involvement in Hantaan virus infection observed at the Department of Nephrology, Faculty of Medicine, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia, during a period of 3 years (October 1987-July 1990). Eight patients were male and 2 were female, aged 37.5 +/- 4.8 years. The
We examined the amyloid deposits of lattice dystrophy type I for common components of primary and secondary amyloid using the sensitive unlabelled antibody peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique. Tissue sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens from three patients with lattice dystrophy
A series of 69 cases of systemic amyloidosis is discussed (12 primaries; 7 due to myeloma; 44 reactive; 5 due to familiar mediterranean fever and 1 portuguese familiar polyneuropathy) in which their clinical aspects, topographical distribution of the deposit and histochemical characteristics are
In this paper, the findings of immunofluorescence (IF) studies of 57 patients with childhood biopsy-proven renal amyloidosis are presented. All specimens were investigated by the direct IF technique and the simultaneous use of antisera to human IgG, IgM, IgA, fibrinogen and C3. Antisera to C1q, C4,
