It destroys the disc space, adjacent vertebral bodies, and spinal elements, leading to cord compression and paraplegia.Methods: This is a case report study of a 29-month-old toddler who presented to our hospital with bilateral lower limb weakness.Results: On clinical, laboratory, and radiological examination, she was diagnosed with Pott's spine, started on antitubercular therapy, and planned for surgery in her follow-up.Conclusion: Tuberculosis of the spine is still prevalent in developing countries, mainly in children. Complications of the disease can be devastating because of its ability to cause bone destruction, spinal deformity, and paraplegia. So, in a tuberculosis-endemic region, clinical suspicion should be there for Potts disease when a child presents with paraplegia of the lower limbs. Children can develop tuberculosis which can spread to the spine despite vaccination. The prognosis of spinal tuberculosis is improved by early diagnosis and rapid intervention.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"2024 ","pages":"5575592"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11074868/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140878399","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}

Patients infected with FBT may also present with atypical symptoms. As such, the combination of its relatively low incidence in the United States coupled with its variability in associated symptoms poses a diagnostic challenge for clinicians; early empiric treatment with doxycycline is warranted prior to a definitive diagnosis to reduce the risk of damage to vital organs. Case Report. This case describes a 54-year-old male who presented to an emergency room in Houston, Texas, with one week of constant right upper quadrant abdominal pain and fevers up to 40°C. The patient was initially diagnosed with Grade III severe acute cholangitis after abdominal ultrasound revealed gallbladder sludge and wall thickening without ductal dilatation, but a subsequent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was unremarkable. Following intermittent fevers and worsening anemia, the patient was started on oral doxycycline for atypical infection, and an infectious disease workup subsequently returned a positive titer for Rickettsia typhi. He experienced rapid symptomatic and clinical improvement, and the patient was discharged home with a final diagnosis of flea-borne typhus.Conclusion: Albeit uncommon, the presentation of this patient's symptoms and final diagnosis of flea-borne typhus demonstrates the importance of (1) keeping atypical infections such as FBT in the differential diagnosis and (2) beginning empiric treatment to prevent damage to vital organs if suspicion of FBT is high.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"2023 ","pages":"5510295"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10637845/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89716981","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}

Although EV-RV-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is common in children, only scattered reports of ARDS in adults have been published. The diagnosis has been greatly facilitated by the advent of molecular techniques, namely, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). EV-RV can cause ARDS by stimulating a cytokine cascade. No antiviral therapy has yet been approved, and treatment is entirely supportive. Herein, we report a rare case of EV-RV infection in an afebrile adult with dyspnea that rapidly progressed to acute lung injury and ARDS. EV-RV was isolated with multiple real-time PCR in nasopharyngeal and bronchial specimens, while no other pathogen was detected. We also present an up-to-date review of relevant literature, in an attempt to stress the importance of the early identification of viral culprits, which can minimize the use of invasive diagnostic procedures and antibiotic agents.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"2023 ","pages":"8887955"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10637844/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89716980","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}

FGS is mostly misdiagnosed as a sexually transmitted infection. There is no reported case of vulvar schistosomiasis from Schistosoma mansoni in an immunocompetent or immunocompromised person in Ghanaian medical literature; however, there is a reported case of S. haematobium in an immunocompromised person. This is the first case of vulvar schistosomiasis from S. mansoni infection in an immunocompromised person. This case report discusses the need to consider vulvar schistosomiasis in patients with itchiness of the vulva. Case Presentation. A sixty-nine-year-old married woman presents with a persistent vulvar itch that is unresponsive to treatment. A clinical diagnosis of vulvar lichen planus unresponsive to medical therapy was made. A histopathological diagnosis of vulvar schistosomiasis was, however, made. Ziehl-Neelsen stain revealed the ova of Schistosoma mansoni. Symptoms resolved on administration of oral praziquantel.Conclusion: Vulvar schistosomiasis must be considered in clinical history-taking and investigation of signs and symptoms related to itchiness of the vulva. Ziehl-Neelsen staining is a helpful histopathology armamentarium to determine the species of schistosome ova.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"2023 ","pages":"9913905"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10599860/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54227787","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}
