A 36-year-old woman presented with hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, elevated serum parathyroid hormone levels and prolonged fever. Surgical removal of the hyperplastic and adenomatous parathyroid glands led to reversal of the biochemical abnormalities as well as return of her temperature to normal.
In patients with haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and in those who had HFRS in the past ionized calcium (Ca2+) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were measured in the blood. High levels of PTH in normal or low those of Ca2+ were typical for HFRS oliguria. Hyperparathyroidism observed
Two cases of primary infantile hyperparathyroidism (PIH) are reported. In both cases the diagnosis was initially suspected from chest radiographs which were obtained to assess the etiology of fever and respiratory distress in one case and heart murmur in another. The first case responded well to
Primary hyperparathyroidism is a life-threatening rare disorder. It is seen as a result of neonatal primary hyperparathyroidism, familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, increased vitamin D levels and inactivation of calcium sensing receptor mutations. The clinical findings are hypotonia, bone
Metastatic pulmonary calcification, defined as calcium deposition in the intact lung, is commonly seen in patients with chronic renal failure, and it is known to be a benign clinical condition when detected by chance in an asymptomatic patient. Here we report the case of a 33-year-old woman who
OBJECTIVE
To describe a rare clinical presentation of necrosis of a parathyroid adenoma, manifesting as fever of unknown origin.
METHODS
We present a case report, including detailed clinical and laboratory data, of a patient with previously undiagnosed primary hyperparathyroidism in whom necrosis of
BACKGROUND
Several studies demonstrated the feasibility of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy as a treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism. We compared its results with those of traditional surgery in a prospective randomized study.
METHODS
From March to November 1998, 38 patients eligible for
The use of intravenous procaine in the treatment of hyperpyrexia in a patient with hyperparathyroidism has not been previously reported. A case of metastatic malignant melanoma precipitating the syndrome of hypertonicity of muscle, hyperpyrexia, acidemia, hypercalcemia and elevated serum
BACKGROUND
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPTI) with respiratory tract symptom is extremely rare. It is caused by autonomic oversecretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) owing to parathyroid adenoma, hyperplasia, or tumor. The diagnosis of PHPTI often needs to be made based on medical history, clinical
A 55-year-old man was transferred to our hospital with unilateral lung lesions, a persistent fever and vague chest pain with arthralgia lasting for three months. He had been treated for end-stage renal disease with hemodialysis for 15 years and had a medical history of recurrent subcutaneous
Patients with end-stage renal disease commonly develop secondary hyperparathyroidism. Calcitriol may be administered to such patients to decrease the synthesis and secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and to help maintain calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. However, the doses of calcitriol
OBJECTIVE
To study the efficacy and adverse events of intravenous bisphosphonates in the treatment of patients of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) complicated by hypercalcemia crisis.
METHODS
From October 2003 to December 2007, 14 patients admitted into our hospital were diagnosed as PHPT
The aim of this study is to report the case of the orthopedic and orthodontic treatment in a young patient affected by DiGeorge Syndrome and Familial Mediterranean Fever.An 8-year-old boy with dysmorphic facial features was brought to our observation. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) can be associated with a variety of musculoskeletal complaints, which occasionally can be the leading or presenting manifestation. In this paper, we describe the musculoskeletal manifestations observed in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Medical record
