Chronic Epididymitis: A Case Study

Type 2 Herpes Simplex infects the genital tract. Infections usually occurs after puberty. May infect oropharyngeal mucous membranes. b) Why Type 1 Herpes virus may cause genital infections? 20% from type 1 due to oral-genital sexual practices 2) Describe the process of sterility from gonorrheal and Chlamydial infections.

Seriously low levels of sodium can result in cerebral edema with enhanced levels of intracranial pressure and brain herniation. This results in seizures, coma, and death. The mortality rate for hyponatremia cases is 17.9 %. In the case report, the sufferer's sodium level was 123 millimoles per liter. The fatality rate for sufferers with sodium levels below than 125 millimoles per liter is almost 30 %.

 Other symptoms may include incontinence, speech and hearing impairment. 4. Biochemical symptom of Sanfilippo syndrome On a biochemical level, Sanfilippo syndrome is characterized by the excess excretion of heparan sulfate in the urine and the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in the central nervous system and other tissues. Sanfilippo syndrome is The most common disorder of mucopolysaccharide metabolism, a syndrome in which the onset of clinical abnormalities occurs between ages 2 and 6, with mild coarsening of the facial features (but normal clear corneas), mild stiffening of the joints, slowing of growth, and intellectual deterioration that results in severe mental

(Spechler & Souza, 2014) In extreme cases, an esophagectomy may be recommended wherein the damaged portion of the esophagus is removed. It is also possible to destroy the damaged tissue endoscopically with a technique called ablation. (Spechler & Souza, 2014) In low grade cases, symptoms can be simply treated and the condition monitored to catch any worsening. Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) may be prescribed to prevent stomach acid from further damaging squamous tissue. (nih.gov, 2017) Other methods such as losing weight, sleeping at an angle, quitting smoking, avoiding certain foods, and using antacids can tame the rise of stomach acid and prevent further damage.

Gynecological infections in human after childbirth and abortion[147-150], post-operative infections[4], and necrotizing soft tissue infections associated with heroin use[4, 151] can be attributable to infection with C. sordellii. Two toxins are a main responsible virulence factors of C. sordellii: hemorrhagic toxin (TcsH) and lethal toxin (TcsL)[152-155]. The mortality rate for patients with C. sordellii infection is 40-69%, and most patients die within days or even hours after the initial presentation[4]. For that reason, premature diagnosis of C. sordellii infection is of main importance; the low prevalence of the illness and the fact that the initial symptoms are nonspecific make a precise diagnosis very difficult. The time lapse between the beginning of symptoms and death is frequently so short that does not allow to initiate an empirical antimicrobial therapy.

He was previously operated upon twice for cerebellar hemangioblastomas. Clinical examination and imaging revealed recurrence of the cerebellar hemangioblastoma requiring excision. Ultrasound of the abdomen revealed multiple cysts in pancreas and kidneys. Biochemical investigations were negative for pheochromocytoma. Airway assessment revealed adequate mouth opening, modified Mallampati score of 2 and restricted neck extension.

The abnormalities include defects of the mitral and tricuspid valves, patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect and hypoplastic left heart syndrome which are the principal causes of decreased life-expectancy in these patients. (6) The presented case also demonstrated characteristic findings of EVCS which included polydactyly of the hands and feet and history of congenital cardiac defect which was operated two years ago. EVCS is a condition with a diverse oral manifestations which include hyperplastic frenula, absence of mucobuccal fold , serrations of the alveolar ridge, partial cleft lip, neonatal teeth, peg shaped laterals , partial anodontia, conical and microdontic teeth and delayed eruption of teeth. (10) In the present case, we reported similar dental manifestations like oligodontia, generalized microdontia, serrations of alveolar ridge, conical shaped teeth with abnormal occlusal anatomy, multiple labial freni, delayed eruption of teeth which was suggestive of

Tubal subfertility need to be investigated to assess if the tube is severely occluded or not. The investigations are: o Hysteroscopy, lap and dye. o Hysterosalpingogram. o Hystero-contrast sonosalpingography (HyCoSy) o Chromopertubation – invasive procedure. However, an ideal investigation is not yet to be found but HyCoSy is considered as the gold standard for assessment of tubal patency and pathology [1].

They occur when the bacterium known as Escherichia coli (E Coli) is present in the urinary tract. The introduction of the E Coli bacterium into the bladder is generally through the urethra. The bacterium travels up the urethra and causes the bladder to swell. The two infections result from the same bacterium, but they have different effects on the body. The symptoms, mode of treatment, the tests carried out and the affected areas differ for the two urinary tract infections.

The infection has an “incubation period of four to six weeks, in children this may be shorter,” (Mayo). The illness is spread most often by close contact and kissing. Common symptoms include general feeling of being ill, fatigue, sore throat, fever, decreased appetite and headache. As the illness progresses the tonsils swell and develop a whitish-yellow covering and the lymph nodes become more swollen and painful. One of the complications of mononucleosis is a ruptured spleen.

Most people are diagnosed before age 30, but the disease can occur in people in their 60 's, 70 's, or even later in life. Children with the disease may experience decreased growth or delayed sexual development. Diagnosis : A specialist called a gastroenterologist may perform a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy to obtain bowel tissue for analysis. Blood tests, including blood counts .Stool samples to rule out infections as the cause of diarrhea. Special X-rays of both the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract may be ordered as well to confirm the location of the inflammation.

Herpes simplex encephalitis can affect anyone at any age but is usually seen with people under the age of twenty or people over the age of forty. Symptoms of HSE include: fever and headaches that can last up to a week, changes in behavior, seizures and hallucinations. Genital herpes (type 2 herpes), is caused by sexual interaction. Many people do not know they have the virus because there may be no symptoms or sores. For newborns, symptoms include: lethargy, seizures, irritability and poor feeding.

Symptoms sometimes present slowly, and sometimes they are not all at the same time. This means that one person may experience severe symptoms all at once or they may experience symptoms that are spread out through their sickness. The most common symptoms of mononucleosis are extreme fatigue, sore throat, head and body aches, a swollen spleen, and swollen lymph nodes in the back and armpits. It is uncommon, but sometimes a person may even experience a swollen liver that can be accompanied by the swollen spleen, and a rash. The rash develops as small red widespread patches, and it usually lasts for about a week.

This causes accumulated lipids to be caught in the endosomes. While some of these genetic diseases like Tay-Sachs only result in death, there are new theories that cell therapy could help in some like Gaucher disease. The glycogen storage diseases are Glycogen Storage disease, types I and II. Glycogen Storage Diseases can be found by taking a blood test. These involve enzymatic deficiencies.

Dehydration can make you tired and thirsty, have a dry mouth, and urinate less frequently. DIAGNOSIS This condition is diagnosed with a medical history and physical exam. You may also have tests, including: • A test that checks for C. diff in your stool. • Blood tests. • A sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy to look at your colon.
