A 13-year old girl with pancytopenia at the presentation of a Borrelia hispanica infection: a case report and review of the literature.

Project description:BackgroundIt is not uncommon that a child with a febrile illness of unknown etiology is admitted to the hospital. When the complete blood count reveals a pancytopenia, the diagnostic process can be a real challenge.Case presentationA 13-year girl of Arab-Berber descent presented with abdominal pain and fever after a holiday in northwestern Morocco. A complete blood count revealed a pancytopenia and blood smear test results revealed spirochetes. Borrelia hispanica was identified by sequencing the 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid gene. Our patient was treated with tetracyclines and during this treatment we saw full clinical and hematological recovery.ConclusionsBorrelia hispanica is a known cause of tick-borne relapsing fever and is transmitted to humans through the bite of soft ticks of the genus Ornithodoros (Alectorobius). Although the link between tick-borne relapsing fever and thrombocytopenia has been documented, there are only a few case reports of tick-borne relapsing fever presenting with pancytopenia. To the best of our knowledge, there is no previous report of Borrelia hispanica presenting with pancytopenia.

Acute Bulbar Palsy-Plus Variant of Guillain-Barre Syndrome in a 3-Year-Old Girl.

Project description:We present a case of a 3-year-old girl who rapidly developed bilateral facial palsy, dysphagia, dysphonia, areflexia, and ataxia soon after receiving an influenza vaccine. Brain and spine Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans with and without contrast showed enhancement of cranial nerves III, V, VII, and X, as well as the anterior and posterior cervical spinal and cauda equina roots. cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) studies showed white blood cell count of 19 cells/cm2, glucose 81 mg/dL, and protein 116 mg/dL, with negative infectious and autoimmune labs. Serum IgM and IgG antibodies against GM1, GD1a, GD1b, GM2, GT1A, GQ1b were negative. The patient was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin, which led to a full recovery. Upon three-month follow-up, her neurologic examination demonstrated normal cranial nerves, reflexes, and gait. Her presentation was most consistent with the acute bulbar palsy plus (ABPp) variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a rare and challenging diagnosis especially in her age group.

Primary Conjunctival Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma in an 8-Year-Old Girl.

Project description:IntroductionRhabdomyosarcoma is a rare paediatric cancer, with the head and neck region representing a major anatomical site for rhabdomyosarcoma. In particular, orbital rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common region among children. However, rhabdomyosarcoma originating from the conjunctiva in paediatric population is a rare disease, and this knowledge is essential in order to ensure prompt treatment and early intervention.Case presentationWe discuss a rare case of primary conjunctival rhabdomyosarcoma in an 8-year-old Caucasian girl. She presented to a paediatric ophthalmology clinic with a 5-day history of a rapidly growing conjunctival lesion in the superior fornix of the right eye. An urgent excisional biopsy was performed which yielded a large 30-mm multilobulated, vascular, and papillomatous specimen with histopathological features consistent with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. She was urgently referred to oncology and was treated with systemic chemotherapy.ConclusionTherapeutical options and prognosis of rhabdomyosarcomas are based on clinical findings, tumour staging, and grouping, combined with histopathological and molecular features. Although rare, it is important to note that in the paediatric population, rhabdomyosarcoma can originate from the conjunctiva. Knowledge of its clinical, histopathological, and imaging characteristics is essential in order to achieve early diagnosis and timely treatment.

SHORT syndrome in a two-year-old girl - case report.

Project description:BackgroundSHORT syndrome is a rare genetic congenital defects condition. The frequency of the disease still remains unknown.Case presentationWe report the two-year-four-month old female with SHORT syndrome who present growth retardation and dysmorphic features (triangular-shaped face, prominent forehead, ocular depression, lipodystrophy at the lumbar region and around elbows), consistent with the phenotype described for this syndrome. The molecular analysis showed the presence of heterozygous variant c.1956dupT (p.Lys653*) in exon 15 of PIK3R1.ConclusionsThe frequency of the disease still remains unknown; solely several dozen cases have been described worldwide.

Outcome of SARS-CoV-2-Infected Polish Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

Project description:The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has become the cause of a worldwide pandemic, and its clinical infection course in patients with hematological malignancies may be severe. We performed a retrospective study on 188 chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients (CLL) with COVID-19 infection. At the time of infection 51 patients (27.1%) were treated with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi), 46 (24.5%) with anti-CD20 antibodies while 37 patients (19.7%) received venetoclax. In total, 111 patients (59.0%) required hospitalization and 50 patients (26.5%) died due to COVID-19. Patients with poor performance status (ECOG >1; p = 0.02), advanced age (>65 years; p = 0.04), low hemoglobin concentration (≤10 g/dl; p = 0.0001), low platelets (<100 × 109/L; p = 0.003), and elevated lactate dehydrogenase level (LDH; p = 0.014) had an increased risk of death due to COVID-19. Neither CLL treatment status (treatment naïve vs. treated) nor the type of CLL-directed treatment had impact on the SARS-CoV-2 related risk of death. The multivariate survival analysis showed that advanced age (p = 0.009) and low platelet count (p = 0.0001) were associated with significantly shorter patients' overall survival. SARS-CoV-2 infection in CLL patients is associated with poor outcome regardless of administered CLL-directed treatment.
