Article Abstract

Dengue infection is a well-known tropical disease that has become a global health issue. The clinical characteristics of dengue range from asymptomatic to severe, which can involve multiple organs and challenge management. Rhabdomyolysis in dengue infection is a rare condition described in children and adolescents. Herein, we present the case of a young adolescent with autism spectrum disorder who had a dengue virus serotype 1 infection complicated by rhabdomyolysis, which was not detected based on its typical manifestations. Rhabdomyolysis is recognized as one of the manifestations of expanded dengue syndrome and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, especially if acute kidney injury develops. These coexisting conditions should be carefully considered, particularly in patients with underlying medical issues that may contribute to a worse prognosis. The early diagnosis and management of patients with dengue complicated by rhabdomyolysis is challenging and should be widely acknowledged. The detection of potential complications and appropriate fluid balance are essential to achieve a better prognosis.

Objective: This study investigated the relationship of maternal serum uric acid, cystatin C (CysC), and coagulation indices [international normalized ratio (INR) and fibrinogen (FIB)] during pregnancy with clinical features and prognosis of early-onset pre-eclampsia.

Methods: Patients with pre-eclampsia (n = 133) were retrospectively selected, with clinical features and maternal uric acid, CysC, INR, and FIB levels collected. The relationship between clinical features and maternal uric acid, CysC, INR, and FIB was analyzed by Pearson's and Spearman's analyses.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), heart failure (HF) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) are pathologies that may remain silent for a long time and thus are largely underdiagnosed in clinical practice. The use of biomarkers may help detect people already suffering from these diseases at an early stage or at increased risk to develop them in a near future. The aim of this article is to discuss the place of the assays of albuminuria, natriuretic peptide (BNP/proBNP) and high-sensitivity troponin as well as lipoprotein(a) to help in the diagnosis and prognosis assessment of individuals at risk of presenting or developing a CKD, HF or ASCVD.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune chronic disease that leads to the destruction of pancreatic beta cells and thus requires lifelong insulin therapy. Constraints and adverse events associated to insulin therapy are well known as well as the risk of long-term complications linked to chronic hyperglycaemia. Symptomatic T1D is preceded by a preclinical asymptomatic period, which is characterized by the presence of at least two auto-antibodies against beta cell without disturbances of blood glucose control (stage 1) or, in addition to immunological biomarkers, by the presence of mild dysglycaemia reflecting a defect of early insulin secretion (stage 2).

Traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts (TPPs) are rare but clinically relevant complications of thoracic trauma, often misdiagnosed due to their non-specific presentation and resemblance to other cavitary pulmonary lesions. We report the case of a 26-year-old male presenting with delayed symptoms following a fall, ultimately diagnosed with multiple TPPs via thoracic CT scan. The patient experienced a favourable evolution with conservative management, including aerosolized tranexamic acid for minor hemoptysis.

ANCA-associated vasculitis, such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), are rare systemic diseases causing necrotizing inflammation of small blood vessels. Renal involvement is common, leading to acute kidney injury with hematuria and proteinuria. Diagnosis is based on serological tests (PR3-ANCA, MPO-ANCA) and renal histology via biopsy, which helps assess the extent of lesions.
