(Posts in the Medicine category are just a record for myself, not for reference by others.)
Put down some of the ‘interesting cases’ I met recently:
- Young lady presented as rash, fever and confusion
Things get deteriorated rapidly. Found to fit the criteria of SLE with status epilepticus. Read something about cerebral lupus
- Young man presented as ascites and derranged LFT
Known history of perianal abscess only. Complained of ascites. Found to have hepatomegaly and cardiomegaly. LFT showed obstructive picture with raised bilirubin. Echocardiogram showed a 6cm mass in RA with no extension to IVC but sluggish flow. EOT done and showed 8cm mass in RA involving the right atrium sept wall and IVC but not SVC.
