The 59-year-old female had the initial hypothesis of hepatic and splenic metastases, based on her symptoms besides the nodular images revealed by the abdominal ultrasonography. Worthy of note was the hypercalcemia due to an excess of vitamin D, which was properly managed and led to successful control of her longstanding asthenia and loss of appetite. After the correct diagnosis was established by histopathologic studies, she underwent the specific anti-parasitic treatment resulting in complete regression of the nodular lesions. The authors emphasized that this was the first case report of several unsuspected foci of visceral leishmaniasis related to the antiinflammatory effect of hypervitaminosis D [1]. In this setting, with base on the literature data, the important role of proteases and micronutrient levels on the evolution of clinical manifestations, treatment responses, and outcomes of patients with Leishmania infections have merited a crescent interest [1–6]. Feleke BE et al. checked serum levels of micronutrients, just before and in the four initial weeks of treatment of leishmaniasis, to compare the patient profile with success rate [2]. The study included dosages of iodine, iron, selenium, zinc, and the vitamins A and D. They found lower levels of vitamin D in those patients with visceral leishmaniasis, a condition that persisted in spite of the adequate specific anti-leishmaniasis management. Gogulamudi VR et al. studied the effects of vitamins A and D3 to treat mice experimentally infected by L. donovani, and there was control of the parasite growth and infectivity [3]. The authors concluded that the utilization of the vitamins can reduce the parasitism and modulate the pro-inflammatory immune response to the anti-inflammatory activation, and the immune stimulation can have usefulness to control the visceral leishmaniasis [3]. Kumar VU et al. stressed the role of serum levels of the vitamins A, B, C, D, besides calcium, iron, and zinc on the responses to treatment and outcomes of leishmaniasis [4]. Defense mechanisms related to vitamin D can include the induction of antimicrobial peptides such as cathelicidin and the binding and killing of promastigotes in macrophages. The macrophage capacity of killing promastigotes (IFNactivated) may be reduced by vitamin D3, being associated with the cellular reduction of nitrous oxide production [4]. The authors concluded that the potential role of the cited micronutrients should be better evaluated for the public health management of leishmaniasis in the endemic regions [4]. Ribeiro-Dias F et al. reviewed the literature about the IL-32 in Leishmania infections, besides the role of vitamin D-dependent microbicidal pathway for parasite control [5].

Both patients received flucloxacillin and paracetamol. Both of them initially improved but declined rapidly after two to three weeks of treatment. They developed a severe HAGMA resulting in their death. The objective of this article is to determine whether old age is a major risk factor for developing HAGMA when combining paracetamol with flucloxacillin. Methods A literature study was conducted using the MEDLINE database, PubMed. The used MeSH terms were ‘flucloxacillin, acetaminophen, glutathione synthetase deficiency and acidosis’. Furthermore, we used two cases to illustrate our findings. Results The origin of the high anion gap metabolic acidosis is the accumulation of 5-oxoproline which is known to occur when combining flucloxacillin with paracetamol due to their interaction with different enzymes of the gamma glutamyl cycle. This leads to the depletion of glutathione and the formation of 5-oxoproline. This phenomenon has a higher risk of occurring in frail older adults as most of them have several predisposing risk factors which result in lower baseline glutathione reserve. These risk factors include old age, malnutrition, assigned female at birth, pre-existing kidney and/or liver dysfunction, uncontrolled diabetes and sepsis. Conclusion The purpose of this article is to raise awareness of this phenomenon and its higher occurrence in frail older adults, which hopefully will lead to an earlier diagnosis with a better outcome for the patient.","PeriodicalId":7086,"journal":{"name":"Acta Clinica Belgica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10362155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
