Study Notes
Case Studies
- Case 185 (№=200097): A 40-year-old man with 9 years of antiretroviral therapy adherence presented with intermittent fever for a month. Splenomegaly and hepatomegaly (spleen enlarged 7 cm below left costal margin, liver enlarged 6 cm below right costal margin) were observed. Spleen aspiration revealed leishmaniasis. The patient's CD4 count was 54 cells/μL, despite an undetectable viral load.
- Case 184 (№=200096): A 35-year-old patient was admitted with a serious condition. Symptoms included vomiting, abdominal pain, back pain, pale face, and nosebleeds. Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome was diagnosed. The time of illness was specified as oliguric.
- Case 183 (№=200095): Relevant laboratory data in a patient with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome is presented. Key findings include moderate leukocytosis (primarily due to elevated stab and segmented neutrophils), increased ESR, elevated protein in urine (1.32 g/L), presence of squamous epithelium (10-15 per high-power field), leukocytes (2-3 per high-power field), fresh erythrocytes (30-40 per high-power field), and elevated creatinine (280 μmol/L) and urea (19 mmol/L). The period of the disease is oliguric.
- Case 182 (№=200094): A 36-year-old patient with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome and acute kidney injury. The symptoms include headache, back pain, anorexia, pale skin, dry mouth, facial swelling, nosebleeding, vomiting with blood, hemorrhagic rash, blood pressure of 150/100, bradycardia, and anuria. Urinalysis reveals anuria. Tests including complete blood count with elevated ESR, anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia are noted. A protein level test is recommended for the patient.
Additional Information
- Different Diseases: The document also contains information about other diseases (e.g., anthrax, brucellosis, Q-fever, tick-borne encephalitis, visceral brucellosis, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever) and their associated signs or symptoms.
- Laboratory findings: Laboratory findings, including blood counts, urine analysis (specific gravity, protein, squamous and fresh erythrocytes, leukocytes), and biochemical parameters (creatinine, urea) are frequently mentioned, especially during the diagnosis of specific illnesses.
- Period of illness: The descriptions often indicate the specific clinical phase or period (prodromal, oliguric, polyuric, convalescence) associated with the disease in the patient case reports.
- Causative Organisms and Vectors: The potential causative microorganisms, modes of transmission, and relevant vectors are mentioned. Information about ticks, mosquitoes, and other vectors is included for several diseases.
- Medical History: Medical history, symptoms, and epidemiological information provide context for possible causes and diagnoses of the presented cases. Infections often involve traveling, bites, and contact with animals. Eating raw fish and tick bites are examples of possible exposure routes.
