A Case of Cardiomyopathy Associated with CD36 Deficiency: Role of < sup > 18 < /sup > F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography in the Diagnosis
Intern Med. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.3253-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe herein report a patient with type I CD36 deficiency. The patient was initially suspected of having isolated cardiac sarcoidosis based on the presence of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia, delayed myocardial enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and diffuse accumulation of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) on cardiac positron emission tomography (PET). Our findings suggest that the diagnosis of cardiomyopathy associated with CD36 deficiency is often missed, highlighting the importance of a differential diagnosis of ...

A Case of 17 α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase Deficiency Diagnosed at 45 Years of Age with Hyperaldosteronism
Intern Med. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.3084-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACT17α-hydroxylase deficiency is a type of congenital adrenocortical hyperplasia that is typically diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. It manifests as hypertension with gonadal dysfunction as the primary symptom. We herein report 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency (17OHD) diagnosed at the age of 45 years. The patient presented with hypertension, irregular menstruation, and hyperaldosteronism. The clinical manifestations of 17OHD vary based on the specific variant pattern of CYP17A1. In this case, the variant was c.157_159 TCC...

Bilateral Sialadenitis as an Uncommon Initial Manifestation of Infectious Mononucleosis: A Case Report
Intern Med. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.2922-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSialadenitis has rarely been reported in patients with infectious mononucleosis (IM). Our patient was a 22-year-old man who presented with bilateral swelling of the parotid and submandibular glands, a fever, malaise, and splenomegaly. Laboratory tests revealed an increased percentage of atypical lymphocytes in the leukocyte fraction. Serological testing for antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) revealed an acute infection pattern. The patient was diagnosed with sialadenitis associated with IM caused by EBV infection. With sym...

Respiratory paralysis in a patient with myasthenia gravis after ingestion of marine carnivorous gastropods: A case report
Intern Med. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.2828-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe salivary glands of marine carnivorous gastropods contain tetramines, which usually cause mild symptoms of poisoning. However, these symptoms may be fatal in rare cases. A 58-year-old woman with a history of myasthenia gravis complained of dyspnea after consuming marine carnivorous gastropods with intact salivary glands. Upon arrival at the hospital, her blood gas analysis revealed type II respiratory failure with a pCO2 of 154 mmHg. Tracheal intubation was immediately performed. Her respiratory condition improved the following ...

Interstitial Pneumonia Associated with Nodal T-follicular Helper Cell Lymphoma: A Case Report
Intern Med. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.3601-24. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNodal T-follicular helper cell lymphoma (nTFHL), a hematologic neoplasm originating from T-follicular helper (TFH) cells, occasionally presents with pulmonary radiographic abnormalities, without neoplastic cellular infiltration. However, the precise mechanisms underlying non-neoplastic pulmonary opacities in patients with nTFHL remain unclear. Previous reports have shown that TFH cell abnormalities are associated with collagen disease and interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF). We herein report a patient with nTFHL ...

Successful Gastrografin Vermifugation for Taenia saginata-associated Appendicitis
We report the case a Japanese man who had previously resided in Vietnam, who experienced appendicitis and the presence of segments in his stool. Gastrografin led to the expulsion of Taenia saginata, as confirmed by scolex identification. Remarkably, the appendicitis symptoms subsided after deworming. This case underscores the importance of considering cestode infections in the differential diagnosis of appendicitis, particularly for patients with relevant travel histories, and highlights the evolving challenges in global health and the significance of acquiring detailed patient histories.PMID:38599859 | DOI:10.2169/interna...
