Summary
Agranulocytosis with stomatitis, a rare condition, can occur in patients on immunomodulating drugs like ocrelizumab. This case highlights the importance of considering drug reactions in primary care, even with concurrent infections.
Area of Science:
- Immunology
- Pharmacology
- Infectious Diseases
Background:
- Agranulocytosis with stomatitis is uncommon in primary care.
- Drug reactions are a potential cause, particularly in patients with multiple sclerosis or those on immunomodulating drugs.

01:23Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics
929
Respiratory symptoms, such as congestion and cough, commonly accompany respiratory tract conditions. Various medications, such as antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics, play crucial roles in providing relief.
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla. Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by...

01:20Myasthenia Gravis: Overview and Treatment
2.7K
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular transmission disorder characterized by weakness and increased fatigability of skeletal muscles. It is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately one in 2000 people, where antibodies against the α1 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are produced.
These antibodies interfere with the function of the nicotinic receptors in three ways: by binding to the receptor and disrupting acetylcholine binding; by causing cross-linking of receptors which...

398
Mitral Valve Stenosis (MVS) is a heart condition where the mitral valve narrows, impeding blood circulation from the left atrium to the left ventricle. The etiology and pathophysiology of this condition are multifaceted, leading to a cascade of cardiovascular complications.Causes of Mitral Valve StenosisRheumatic Heart Disease: It is the main cause of mitral valve stenosis, particularly in developing nations. This condition arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory illness resulting from...
