Time to revisit the purported link of leprosy reactions with infective triggers: An unnecessary economic burden for patients
Trop Doct. 2023 Nov 3:494755231210724. doi: 10.1177/00494755231210724. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExisting literature on factors triggering leprosy reactions is based only on case reports and case series, and thus probably gives a biased view. We undertook a case-control study to investigate such purported trigger factors in 42 leprosy reaction patients and 40 non-reactional controls, and the cost of investigations required for the same. Detailed history, clinical evaluation and investigations for triggers were carried out. Infections (typhoid, dental caries) were the most common triggers found, followed by pregnancy. T...

Cough elixir overdose causing toxic leuco-encephalopathy and serotonin syndrome
We present the case of a 14-year-old boy who suddenly developed altered consciousness and autonomic dysfunction after consuming excessive quantities of cough remedies containing dextromethorphan, chlorphenamine, dichlorobenzyl alcohol, and amylmetacreson. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed distinct white matter lesions. With supportive care, the patient rapidly improved, and the magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities disappeared. The swift resolution, typical magnetic resonance imaging findings, and a history of exposure to drugs affecting the central nervous system's serotonergic system suggested concurren...
