Cytomegalovirus Disease

60
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...

Pericarditis I: Introduction01:22

Pericarditis I: Introduction

691
Pericarditis is defined as the inflammation of the pericardium, the thin, sac-like membrane surrounding the heart. This condition can cause significant chest pain and other symptoms, often necessitating medical intervention. The pericardium has two layers: the inner visceral layer and the outer parietal layer, separated by a small amount of fluid that reduces friction during heartbeats.Types of PericarditisPericarditis can be classified into several types based on the duration and nature of the...

Myocarditis II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests

466
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle. The symptoms vary widely, encompassing asymptomatic presentations to severe, acute manifestations.Clinical PresentationAsymptomatic cases: In some instances, myocarditis may be asymptomatic, with the infection resolving without intervention. These cases often go undetected unless discovered incidentally through diagnostic imaging or tests conducted for other reasons.General Early Symptoms: Early symptoms of myocarditis are non-specific and can...

Pericarditis II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests

568
Pericarditis is distinguished by inflammation of the pericardium, the fibrous sac that encases the heart. It can be acute, lasting less than six weeks, or chronic, persisting for over three months. Understanding its clinical manifestations and diagnostic findings is crucial for timely and effective management.Clinical ManifestationsWhile pericarditis can be asymptomatic, it usually presents with characteristic symptoms such as:Chest Pain: The most characteristic symptom of pericarditis is chest...

Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management01:28

Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

743
Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Mycology
  • Pediatric Medicine

Background:

  • Majocchi's Granuloma is a fungal infection affecting hair follicles.
  • Prolonged use of topical corticosteroids can predispose individuals to certain infections.
  • Ringworm (tinea faciei) is a common superficial fungal infection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of Majocchi's Granuloma in a pediatric patient.
  • To highlight the potential link between topical corticosteroid use and fungal folliculitis.
  • To document successful treatment of this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a three-year-old child.
  • Review of treatment history including topical corticosteroids for tinea faciei.
  • Diagnosis and treatment of Majocchi's Granuloma.

Main Results:

  • The child developed Majocchi's Granuloma after long-term topical corticosteroid therapy.
  • The fungal folliculitis presented as a complication of presumed tinea faciei treatment.
  • Successful resolution was achieved with oral Griseofulvin.

Conclusions:

  • Majocchi's Granuloma can occur in children following inappropriate or prolonged corticosteroid treatment for superficial fungal infections.
  • Early recognition and appropriate antifungal therapy are crucial for managing this condition.
  • Oral Griseofulvin is an effective treatment option for pediatric Majocchi's Granuloma.
