Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State

Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State

Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State, or HHS, is a serious and life-threatening complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is characterized by three main features: severe hyperglycemia, profound dehydration, and elevated serum osmolality, all occurring without significant ketoacidosis.HHS typically develops in older adults or individuals with limited access to fluids. This may result from illness, cognitive impairment, or medications such as diuretics or corticosteroids. These factors reduce...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease IV: Clinical Manifestations

Inflammatory Bowel Disease IV: Clinical Manifestations

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses two major chronic disorders—ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease—each characterized by relapsing episodes of gastrointestinal inflammation. Although they share certain clinical features, their patterns of involvement and manifestations differ in ways that aid diagnosis and guide management.Ulcerative ColitisUlcerative colitis is limited to the colon and rectum and involves continuous inflammation of the mucosal layer. The disease course is marked...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

Gastritis is marked by disruption of the mucosal barrier that usually protects the stomach tissue from digestive juices and manifests in acute and chronic forms.
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...

Gastritis II: Pathophysiology

Gastritis II: Pathophysiology

The pathophysiology of gastritis begins with the colonization of the stomach lining by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). This bacterium spreads mainly via the oral-oral route through saliva or shared utensils, and can also be transmitted in overcrowded or unhygienic environments through contaminated water, despite its brief survival outside the body.ColonizationOnce ingested, H. pylori enters the stomach and begins colonization by navigating through the mucus layer lining the stomach wall. It...

Glucose Transporters

Glucose Transporters

Glucose transporters facilitate the transport of glucose across the cell membrane. In addition to glucose, some glucose transporters can also aid the movement of other hexoses such as fructose, mannose, and galactose.
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...

Summary

Sweet's syndrome, a rare skin condition, can occur in patients with Behçet's disease, an inflammatory disorder. This case highlights the overlap in symptoms and suggests Behçet's disease may underlie Sweet's syndrome.

Background:

Sweet's syndrome is an acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by fever, neutrophilia, and tender, erythematous skin lesions.
Behçet's disease is a chronic, multisystem inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, typically presenting with recurrent oral and genital ulcers, skin lesions, and uveitis.

Observation:

A 47-year-old woman with a history of undiagnosed oral and genital ulcers presented with acute onset of tender, erythematous, vesicle-like papules on her face, neck, palms, and legs.
The patient also reported polyarthralgia, weight loss, fever, conjunctivitis, and joint tenderness.
Skin biopsy confirmed Sweet's syndrome, and a positive pathergy test suggested hypersensitivity.

Findings:

The patient exhibited clinical manifestations overlapping between Sweet's syndrome and Behçet's disease.
Laboratory findings revealed inflammation and leukocytosis with neutrophilia.
Treatment with glucocorticoids and colchicine effectively resolved the patient's symptoms.

Implications:

This case underscores the potential overlap in clinical presentations between Sweet's syndrome and Behçet's disease.
The findings suggest that Behçet's disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with Sweet's syndrome.
Further research is warranted to elucidate the relationship between these two conditions.
