Increased Body Temperature01:25

Increased Body Temperature

7.6K
A body temperature above  38°C  (100.4 °F) is known as fever or pyrexia, and a person with fever is termed 'febrile.' Typically, the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that acts as the body's thermostat, regulates body temperature through a thermoregulatory setpoint. It receives signals from cold and warm thermal receptors throughout the body and adjusts the body's temperature accordingly. Fever occurs when this hypothalamic setpoint is altered, usually in...

The Early Endosome: Endocytosis of Transferrin01:28

The Early Endosome: Endocytosis of Transferrin

5.1K
Essential proteins such as insulin or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and micronutrients such as iron enter a eukaryotic cell through receptor-mediated endocytosis. Subsequently, the early endosomes fuse with the vesicles containing such receptor-ligand complexes and play a vital role in sorting the incoming ligands and receptors. While the ligands are either degraded inside the vesicle or released into the cytosol, their receptors are returned to the plasma membrane for further rounds of...

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

770
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...

Necrosis01:16

Necrosis

7.2K
Necrosis is considered as an “accidental” or unexpected form of cell death that ends in cell lysis. The first noticeable mention of “necrosis” was in 1859 when Rudolf Virchow used this term to describe advanced tissue breakdown in his compilation titled “Cell Pathology”.
Morphological Manifestations of Necrosis
Necrotic cells show different types of morphological appearance depending on the type of tissue and infection. In coagulative necrosis, cells become...

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Dermatology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Acute generalized exanthem, spiking fevers, arthralgias, and myalgias present diagnostic challenges in adults.
  • A thorough history and physical examination are fundamental for initial assessment.
  • Laboratory studies can provide crucial supportive evidence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD).
  • To discuss the differential diagnoses for AOSD.
  • To emphasize the diagnostic utility of elevated serum ferritin in AOSD.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of an adult diagnosed with AOSD.
  • Review of differential diagnoses for similar clinical presentations.
  • Analysis of laboratory findings, focusing on serum ferritin levels.

Main Results:

  • The case highlights the complex presentation of AOSD in adults.
  • Differential diagnoses were systematically evaluated.
  • Significantly high serum ferritin levels were observed, supporting the AOSD diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • Adult-onset Still's disease requires careful diagnostic consideration.
  • High serum ferritin is a valuable biomarker for identifying AOSD.
  • Integrating clinical findings with laboratory data is essential for accurate diagnosis.
