Probable acute disseminated encephalomyelitis due to Haemophilus influenzae men...

We report the case of a 17-year-old male on long-term steroid therapy for minimal lesion glomerulopathy who, after an upper respiratory infection, presented with Haemophilus influenzae type b meningitis. Twenty-four hours later he developed depression of consciousness which progressed to coma and left hemiparesis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed multiple lesions (hyperintense on T2 and slightly ...

Isolated oculomotor nerve paresis as the presenting sign of multiple sclerosis

From juvenile parkinsonism to encephalitis lethargica, a new phenotype of post-...

We report the case of a 16-year-old boy presented with a mild akinetic-rigid parkinsonism shortly after a post-streptococcal infection. After stopping corticoids, he had a rapid neurological deterioration to a fatal encephalitis lethargica-like syndrome. Serum analysis demonstrated consistently elevated anti-streptolysin-O. This case illustrates a new severe phenotype in the spectrum of the post-streptococcal d...

IgE-mediated hypersensitivity after ibuprofen administration

Although many immunoglobulin-related drug sensitivities have been described, there is a paucity of reports regarding IgE-related drug sensitivities. Here we describe a case of a patient who demonstrated IgE-mediated sensitivity to ibuprofen.

Primary angiitis of the central nervous system: an infrequent form of presentation

INTRODUCTION: Primary angiitis of the central nervous system (CNS) is a rare disease. Clinical signs and symptoms include headache and cognitive disorders associated to multifocal neurological deficits. A definitive diagnosis can only be achieved by means of a cerebromeningeal biopsy. CASE REPORT: We describe the case of a 15-year-old male who first reported lower back pain and progressive paresis of the right ...
