Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

332
Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

343
The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...

Chronic Pharyngitis01:23

Chronic Pharyngitis

9.6K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Myocarditis II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests

185
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...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction01:24

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

609
The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

Chronic Kidney Disease II: Clinical Manifestations

465
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progressively impairs multiple body systems due to the accumulation of uremic toxins, which disrupt cellular functions across various organs.Neurologic symptomsNeurologic symptoms often arise early in CKD, as uremic toxin buildup drives changes in cognitive and motor functions. Patients frequently experience fatigue, headache, confusion, difficulty concentrating, and, in severe cases, seizures. Peripheral neuropathy commonly manifests as burning sensations in the...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Entomology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne alphavirus causing febrile illness.
  • Symptoms include fever, rash, and severe musculoskeletal pain.
  • Persistent symptoms can lead to chronic inflammatory arthritis.

Observation:

  • A 48-year-old female traveller returning from Bangladesh presented with months of persistent joint pain and swelling.
  • This case highlights a prolonged chikungunya virus infection.
  • The patient experienced chronic musculoskeletal disorders post-infection.

Findings:

  • Chikungunya virus infection can manifest with long-term joint pain and swelling.
  • The chronic inflammatory form of chikungunya requires treatment strategies similar to other chronic inflammatory joint diseases.
  • Increased global travel and vector prevalence may lead to more imported chikungunya cases.

Implications:

  • Healthcare providers should consider chikungunya in travellers with persistent joint symptoms.
  • Enhanced surveillance for chikungunya virus in Europe is warranted.
  • Public health strategies may be needed to address the potential establishment of chikungunya in southern Europe.
