Abstract Background Histoplasmosis is a rare infectious condition with mainly pulmonary involvement. Disseminated histoplasmosis may occur in immunocompromised condition. It can present in different ways but jaundice and ascites is very uncommon. Case presentation A 8- year old girl visited to department of pediatric gastroenterology & nutrition, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Child presented with fever, jaundice and abdominal distension for 2 ½ months. There was no history of contact with tuberculosis patient and travelling to kala-azar, malaria endemic zone and no history of previous jaundice, blood or blood product transfusion, history of sib death, family history of jaundice or neuropsychiatric disorder, significant weight loss. On general examination she was fretful, febrile, moderately icteric, mildly pale, vitally stable, severely wasted and moderately stunted, skin survey revealed infected scabies, BCG vaccine mark was absent, generalized lymphadenopathy, hepato-splenomegaly and ascites present. After evaluating the physical findings, several investigations was done including lymphnode biopsy, then the case was finally diagnosed as Disseminated histoplasmosis with portal hypertension. Child was treated with injectable Deoxycholate Amphotericin B for 28 days and improved on follow up. Conclusion We suggest that children presenting with fever, jaundice, lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly and portal hypertension, disseminated histoplasmosis can be one differential.

Abstract Case report - Introduction We present what we believe to be the first reported case of post COVID-19 reactive arthritis, in a previously medically well 16-year-old with no past or family history of inflammatory arthritis. Case report - Case description Our patient was a previously medically fit 16-year-old of Caucasian origin who tested positive for COVID-19 in late March 2020. She developed with a 4-day illness with fever, cough, and myalgia from which she made a full and uncomplicated recovery. Ten days later she developed a new erythematous itchy rash on her legs, trunk, and face and a progressive polyarthralgia affecting her MCPs, wrists, shoulders, hips, and knees. The rash typically lasted for 2 days at one site and was non-scarring. This was associated with a low-grade fever. There were no associated mouth ulcers, photosensitivity, alopecia, Raynaud’s, GI disturbance or respiratory symptoms. She had no relevant family history of autoimmunity, psoriasis or inflammatory bowel disease or travel history and had been prescribed no new medications. On examination, she had an erythematous rash on the face in a non malar distribution. She had multiple tender joints without definite synovitis. Cardiovascular, respiratory, gastroenterology and neurological examinations were unremarkable. Investigations revealed a normal full blood count and CRP&lt;1 with normal liver and renal function tests. Her urinalysis was unremarkable. Immunology was negative for ANA, ANCA and rheumatoid factor. Immunoglobulins were normal. Two weeks later her symptoms were fully resolved. Case report - Discussion Coronaviruses are single-stranded RNA viruses with nearly 30 strains recognised to infect humans. They induce both an innate and adaptive immune system response. It is hypothesised that a dysregulated innate system response, leading to a prolonged adaptive response triggers damaging inflammation and a potential cytokine storm. This is associated with poor outcome during primary viral infection. Variations in this immune response, with different underlying HLA genotypes could lead to other post infectious immune mediated phenomena, such as Paediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome - Temporally associated with COVID-19. There is a European registry collating data about patients with known rheumatic diseases who are admitted with COVID-19. There is emerging data regarding Paediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome - Temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 (PIMS-TS). There is a growing suggestion that a subgroup of patients is developing a COVID-19 associated post viral fatigue syndrome. We suggest that a registry to collect information on de novo autoimmune diseases presenting post COVID-19 is also commenced. Case report - Key learning points COVID-19 infection is associated with a wide variety of sequalae, including rheumatological ones. Classic post viral Reactive arthritis has been seen. A registry to collect information on de novo autoimmune presentations would be highly informative.

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of cause of death in infectious disease domain. The control of TB is complicated because the inclination of case numbers people with Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an important risk factor for TB development, with prove that more than ten percent of TB patient is DM patient. People with DM have risk three times more likely to suffer from TB than people without DM. The results of TB treatment with comorbid DM will be easier to be failed. Puskesmas Patrang have the highest bacteriologically confirmed BTA TB cases and DM cases in Jember during 2014 until 2016. The aim of this research is to know the DM prevalence in TB patients and to analyze the correlation between DM risk factors in TB patient to TB-DM incidence at Puskesmas Patrang Jember in 2017. The research uses observasional analytic with cross sectional approach. The sampling technique uses simple random sampling with 47 samples. The independent variables include respondent characteristics (age, sex, type of TB, medication category, and family history of DM), central obesity and smoking behavior. While the dependent variable is the DM status. The result shows that the prevelance of DM in TB patients at Puskesmas Patrang Jember regency is 23,4%. Factors associated with TB-DM are age (p-value = 0,012), family history of DM (p-value = 0,003), and smoking status (p-value = 0,035). Factors that do not associated with TB-DM are sex (p-value = 0,731), type of TB (p-value = 0,170), treatment category of TB (p-value = 0,560), central obesity (p-value = 0,435), the number of cigarette (p-value = 1,000) and smoking duration (p-value = 1,000). The most important factor of TB-DM is family history of DM that 10,850 times higher of getting TB-DM than patients without family history of DM.

Abstract Objectives: Prostate cancer (PC) is common cancer worldwide. Several markers have been developed to differentiate between benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) from PC. A descriptive retrospective hospital-based study aimed at determining the expression of Cyclin D1 in BPH and PC. the study took place at different histopathology laboratories in Khartoum state, Sudan, from December 2016 to January 2019. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks were sectioned and fixed in 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane coated slides incubated into primary antibody for Cyclin D1. The assessment of immunoreactivity of Cyclin D1 of each section was done using the Gleason scoring system. Results: A total of 153 males’ prostate sections included in this study, of them, 120 (78.4%) were PC, and 33 (21.6%) were BPH. Their age ranged from 45 to 88 years, mean age was 66.19 ± 8.599. 142 (92.8%) did not have a family history of PC, while 11 (7.2%) patients reported having a family history. The Gleason scoring showed a total of 81 (52.9%) patients with high-grade and 39 (25.5%) with low-grade. 118 (97.5%) patients had PC showed positive results for Cyclin D1, while BPH was 3 (2.5%). P value < 0.001. Cyclin D1 staining was associated with high-grade Gleason score and perineural invasion, P value 0.001.

Background: Refractive error is one of the most common causes of the visual impairment and second leading cause of treatable blindness. The objective of the study was to determine the mag­nitude of refractive errors in children. Methods: This was a hospital based cross-sectional study conducted on 254 children attending Ophthalmology OPD of Manipal Teaching Hospital, Pokhara. The children whose visual acuity was worse than 6/6 but improved with pinhole were included in this study. Vision test, retinoscopy and subjective refraction was done in all subjects and cycloplegic refraction was done when needed. Statistical analysis was carried out using Epi-info version 7. Results: The commonest type of refractive error was astigmatism (46.06%) followed by myopia (42.31%). Majority of children had low grade of refractive errors (46.85%). Among the children, “with the rule astigmatism” was maximum (27.56%). Majority of children were in the age between 11 to 15 years (77.95%). The refractive error was seen more in female (63.78%). Among the chil­dren of refractive errors, 29.13% had family history, 33.46% had given the history of wearing spec­tacles and 10.24% children had amblyopia. There was statistically significant association between refractive errors and age groups, history of wearing spectacles, amblyopia and grading of refractive errors. However, there was no statistically significant association of refractive error with gender, residence and family history. Conclusions: Astigmatism was the common type of refractive error followed by myopia. This study emphasizes the importance of detection of refractive error in children.
