Anti-SOX-1 Antibody-Positive Paraneoplastic Limbic Encephalitis Diagnosed During Small Cell Lung Cancer Treatment
We present a case of anti-Sry-like high mobility group box 1 (SOX-1) antibody-positive PNS diagnosed during the treatment of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). A 65-year-old woman with a history of smoking and SCLC (T3N1M0) was hospitalized to receive chemo-radiation therapy. On day 14, the course was complicated by left mastitis associated with febrile neutropenia. Drainage was performed for the left mastitis, and cefepime was initiated. The fever subsided within a few days, but the patient became agitated accompanied by logorrhea. With the exception of mental status, her neurological examination was unremarkable. Due to mild...

Ramsay Hunt Syndrome with Pharyngolaryngeal Involvement Mimicking Acute Stroke: A Case Report
We present a 56-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with acute pharyngitis. Two days later, the patient developed dysarthria, hoarseness, and left side facial weakness. Considering a patient's history of cardiovascular events, the acute stroke was suspected. Magnetic resonance imaging ruled out an acute cerebrovascular accident. The patient's otalgia aggravated and he reported hearing loss. Clinical examination revealed facial paralysis affecting the left side of the face, erythematous rash on the left auricle, multiple vesicles present on patient's left tympanic membrane, ulcerous lesion on the left side of the soft p...

Investigation of Altered Spontaneous Brain Activity Patterns in Herpes Zoster Keratitis Using the Percent Amplitude of Fluctuation Method: A Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study
CONCLUSION: HZK patients had some changes in brain regions, and the changes were also related to their mood and visual acuity. These findings might contribute to other studies on the potential pathological mechanism, disease development, prognosis, and brain function in HZK patients.PMID:37601824 | PMC:PMC10439783 | DOI:10.2147/NDT.S412516

Rare case report: a 26-year-old man with Eales' disease
Conclusion: Despite the aggressive treatment with oral steroids, immunosuppressants, and anti-VEGF injections, there were many exacerbations, and remission was not achieved. As a result, aggressive neovascular glaucoma developed, which led to total blindness in the left eye and legal blindness in the right eye. Abbreviations: HLA = human leukocyte antigens, Anti-VEGF = vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors, BCVA = best corrected visual acuity, FA = fundus angiography, HBsAg = hepatitis B surface antigen, Anti-HCV = hepatitis C antibodies, TPHA = Treponema Pallidum hemagglutination assay, PCR = polymerase chain reac...

State of the Art: Acute Encephalitis
Clin Infect Dis. 2023 Jun 24:ciad306. doi: 10.1093/cid/ciad306. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEncephalitis is a devastating neurologic disease often complicated by prolonged neurologic deficits. Best practices for the management of adult patients include universal testing for a core group of etiologies, including herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1, varicella zoster virus (VZV), enteroviruses, West Nile virus, and anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) antibody encephalitis. Empiric acyclovir therapy should be started at presentation and in selected cases continued until a second HSV-1 polymerase chain reaction test is n...
