hypoparathyroidism/fever

A case history is described of a young man suffering from fever of unknown origin, which was accompanied by transient hypoparathyroidism. There were no indications of a known cause of the hypoparathyroidism. Transient hypoparathyroidism is briefly reviewed and the possibility of parathyroiditis is

BACKGROUND Primary hypoparathyroidism is associated with diverse variety of symptomatology of hypocalcemia including seizures and tetany. We report a case of previously undiagnosed asymptomatic primary hypoparathyroidism with extensive basal ganglia calcifications presenting for the first time with

We present this rare occurrence of a 17 yr old boy, a known case of congenital hypoparathyroidism, who presented with fever and jaundice for 8 days and 2 episodes of generalised tonic-clonic seizures. Premorbidly patient was on regular oral calcium supplementations with normal serum calcium levels.

A 38-year-old multiparous woman with post thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism developed pruritic erythematous patches with multiple pustules on its margins on her thighs and groin accompanied by fever few days after delivery by caesarean section. Impetigo herpetiformis was diagnosed based on the

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinico-pathological findings, response to treatment and prevalence of complications in dogs with primary hypoparathyroidism. METHODS Retrospective study of 17 dogs presenting to the University of Melbourne Veterinary Clinical Centre and Murdoch University Veterinary

A 6-month-old, female border collie was referred for evaluation of hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, fever, and painful ventral abdominal skin. She had recently been treated intravenously and subcutaneously (SC) with a diluted 10% calcium gluconate solution. The medical evaluation supported the

A 23-year-old man was suffering from high fever and general fatigue 6 months before admission. The levels of serum Ca and intact-parathyroid hormone (PTH) were low. His brain computed tomography (CT) revealed marked calcifications of the basal ganglia, and pelvis magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

A combination of unexplained peripheral neuropathy, hypoparathyroidism, and the inability to cope with metabolic stress could point to a rare inborn error of metabolism, such as mitochondrial trifunctional protein (MTP) deficiency.Here, we describe a 20-year-old woman who was known since childhood

Impetigo herpetiformis (IH) is a rare dermatosis arising during the third trimester of pregnancy which is generally considered as a form of pustular psoriasis of unknown aetiology.

Hypocalcemia is common in toxic-shock syndrome (TSS); however, the role of magnesium deficiency in TSS remains to be defined. A previously healthy nurse on no maintenance medication developed hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia in association with characteristic TSS, presenting with fever, headache,

OBJECTIVE Interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP) is a new therapeutic option for the ablation of non-functioning and hyper-functioning benign thyroid nodules. Amelioration of the ablation procedure currently allows treating large nodules. Aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy

BACKGROUND Common features of autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dysplasia include candidiasis, hypoparathyroidism and hypoadrenalism. The initial manifestation of autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dysplasia may be autoimmune hepatitis, keratoconjunctivitis,

A 26-month-old child presented with an unusual combination of growth retardation, renal proximal tubulopathy, hypoparathyroidism, and episodic encephalopathy with fever and lethargy.

For decades, the preparation of a hyperthyroid patient for surgery took several weeks or months utilizing thyroid blocking agents and iodine. In 1973, a preliminary report of 20 patients with hyperthyroidism treated with propranolol and thyroidectomy was presented. It was found that a thyrotoxic
