Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy IV (HSAN IV) or Congenital Insensitivity to pain and Anhidrosis is an autosomal recessive condition. It is characterized by absence of reaction to painful stimuli, anhidrosis, self-mutilating behaviour and episodic fever. We report a child with HSAN IV who
Sweet syndrome (acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) is characterized by fever, neutrophilic leukocytosis, and abrupt appearance of painful erythematous nodules and plaques, particularly on the face, neck, and limbs. In this study, we report a very rare case of Sweet syndrome in which the patient
We investigated the effects of hyperthermia on the healing process of experimental Pseudomonas corneal ulceration (PCU). Hartley guinea pigs were used to develop animal models of PCU. As a heat source, disposable chemical pocket warmers were applied. The healing process of PCU was compared between
Radiofrequency hyperthermia was used to induce axial corneal lesions in the eyes of 10 dogs. Clinical observations were continued for up to 6 months, using biomicroscopy and indirect ophthalmoscopy. Eyes were harvested at intervals for light and electron microscopic evaluation. Clinical alterations
In the main study, hyperthermia was induced by radio-frequency current to obtain a single, central, corneal lesion in the right eye and 2 separate limbal lesions in the left eye of 13 light horses and 8 ponies. Intracorneal and intralimbal temperature profiles for the procedure were obtained in a
The first documented case of infectious keratitis (an ameboid-like corneal ulcer) caused by Rickettsia conorii is described. Corneal infection was probably caused by contamination through the tears during systemic rickettsial dissemination. Topical tetracyclin ointment was effective. Rickettsial
OBJECTIVE
A 37-year-old Hispanic man with a history of chronic myelogenous leukemia was first seen with fever and preseptal cellulitis of this right orbit after a tooth extraction.
METHODS
The patient subsequently developed bilateral, severe peripheral ulcerative keratitis. He was treated with
A 6-year old girl was examined having two years previously presented a transient Cushing's syndrome, followed by recurrent hyponatremia, attributed to inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH). The brain MRI showed no abnormalities on repeated examinations, except for a suggestion of empty sella syndrome.
The patient, aged 44, presented fever and chills with altered general condition and received an analgesic-antipyretic treatment with salicylic acid and pyrazolon derivatives. A bullous eruption that followed was labelled incipient Lyell syndrome. Both cornea presented ulcers with a tendency to
OBJECTIVE
To identify children aged 0-72 months with blinding xerophthalmia in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and its adjoining Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in Pakistan, using a new surveillance system, and to describe socio-economic and other characteristics of reported
A patient with Addison disease developed fever, pain, and marked orbital inflammation 3 days after evisceration in the setting of perforated corneal ulcer. He was treated for presumed orbital cellulitis without improvement. Increasing the corticosteroid dose for his Addison disease resulted in
OBJECTIVE
Two patients suffering from congenital insensitivity to pain were studied. They corresponded to types IV and V of the 'hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies' (HSAN) classification.
METHODS
The first case showed important autonomic dysfunctions, such as anhidrosis, hyperthermia,
Stuve Wiedemann syndrome (SWS) is an autosomal recessively inherited syndrome which is characterized by bowing of the long bones, camptodactyly, facial dysmorphism, hypotonia, feeding and swallowing difficulties, and respiratory distress. In most cases episodes of unexplained hyperthermia are
Ponies with tracheal collapse may have an increased anesthetic risk due to airway obstruction during induction and recovery. To our knowledge, there are no anesthetic descriptions of these patients, despite a reported 5.6% incidence and 77% mortality rate. Two Shetland ponies with tracheal collapse,
