(GBS) is a rare cause of meningitis in healthy adults. We report the case of a healthy 33-year-old man with acute GBS meningitis who experienced relapsed high-grade fever and increased intracranial pressure following completing intravenous antibiotics. A short course of corticosteroids, along with additional antibiotics, improved the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profile, and no further complications occurred after the recurrent episodes.

Piperine Enhances Mitochondrial Biogenesis to Mitigate Stress in SH-SY5Y Neuroblastoma Cells.

Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a crucial role in neurodegenerative disorders. Enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis is a promising therapeutic strategy for mitigating mitochondrial damage. Piperine, a bioactive alkaloid from black pepper, the fruit of L.

Neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis from granulocyte-stimulating factor in a patient with ANCA vasculitis.

Neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis (NEH) is one of the cutaneous manifestations of chemotherapy side effects. However, it can arise from other non-chemotherapy medications. The granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor is a medication reported to trigger NEH.

Pigmented purpuric dermatosis (Majocchi type) in a patient with vitiligo.

Pigmented purpuric dermatosis is diagnosed clinically and does not require skin biopsy. However, in cases where rashes mimic cutaneous vasculitis, skin biopsies should be done to confirm the diagnosis, especially in patients who have underlying autoimmune disease.

Cardiac implantable electronic device infection in the cardiac referral center in Thailand: incidence, microbiology, risk factors, and outcomes.

Background: Despite the long experience of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation in Thailand, epidemiology of CIED infection in Thailand has never been studied.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the cardiac referral center in Thailand to investigate incidence of CIED infection and causative organisms between October 2002 and December 2017. A matched case-control study was performed to determine the factors associated with CIED infection.
