The clinical spectrum of the disease is remarkably broad, and its presentations mimic features of polyarteritis nodosa, such as livedoid rash, hematological abnormalities (e.g., cytopenia), early-onset stroke, hypogammaglobulinemia, and systemic inflammation. Early diagnosis and treatment of DADA2 are crucial, as the clinical features could be potentially life-threatening but treatable. In this study, a 17-year-old male patient is reported with DADA2 whose symptoms mimic those of polyarteritis nodosa. A 17-year-old male patient presented with a 14-year history of abdominal pain, hypertension, and cutaneous lesions initially attributed to polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). He was referred to our center due to ongoing abdominal pain. An abdominal and pelvic computed tomography scan with contrast revealed a retroperitoneal hemorrhage compressing the left kidney. Given his history of abdominal pain, hypertension, hemiparesis, transient ischemic attacks (TIA), anemia, cutaneous lesions, and retroperitoneal hemorrhage, DADA2 was suspected, and a genetic test confirmed the diagnosis. Treatment with anti-TNF (Adalimumab) was initiated, resulting in noticeable improvement. In the follow up, fever, abdominal pain and TIA episodes were subsided and now he has a good clinical condition. Considering DADA2 and conducting a broad screening for other manifestations is recommended for patients presenting with PAN-like symptoms. These patients may become symptomatic later in life, and early diagnosis allows for the consideration of disease-specific treatment options.</p>","PeriodicalId":10327,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Case Reports","volume":"12 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ccr3.9641","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142708093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead, we stated that the evidence “indicates” the RHs occurred “around the time” of the fall and it is “reasonable to attribute” them to the incident. We did not mean to imply that the findings regarding the RHs can definitively attribute the RHs to the fall. However, we point out that there is no evidence of any other event prior to the infant becoming symptomatic that would plausibly explain the findings of retinal hemorrhage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The author of the Letter then asserts that “acuteness of RH onset would have been better supported by disappearance of most of them after 1 week, rather than the observed persistence.” We are not sure why the author makes this assertion. The longer the RH persisted, the more likely it is that they were acute at the time they were first found.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The issue of whether the retinal folds are “typical of acute traumatic retinoschisis” is also raised. Is the author suggesting that there is a non-traumatic cause of the retinal fold in this case? We do not believe there is sufficient evidence to accurately determine cause by reference to the “type” of retinal fold, and found no such evidence in the articles cited.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Letter then raises concerns about the period immediately following the recorded incident, noting that “the video ends abruptly”, and raises the possibility of revival shaking. We clarify that after the fall, a worker at the creche picked up and comforted the infant, and this was captured on video. The baby was not subjected to revival shaking. We also clarify that the mother arrived between 15 and 30 min after the fall, at which time the infant was lethargic and lacked focus in the eyes, presumably signs of concussion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Letter suggests that video evidence should follow the infant from the time of the accident to the time of passing the infant to medical care. We wonder if the author applies the same evidentiary requirements for establishing that shaking can cause the findings commonly associated with abusive head trauma. We are not aware of any videotaped shaking event that has resulted in such findings (either violent or in revival attempts). Nor are we are of any independently witnessed shaking event that has led to such clinical findings in a healthy infant. If the evidentiary requirement for these cases was an extended videotape until delivered to medical care, then no case or case series would have ever been published in the field.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The author of the Letter also discusses the historical narratives of shaking done by caregivers in order to revive or r","PeriodicalId":10327,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Case Reports","volume":"12 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ccr3.9609","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142708096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
