Immobilisation hypercalcaemia complicating polyneuropathy in adolescent boys.

Immobilisation hypercalcaemia complicating polyneuropathy in adolescent boys.

Two boys who were immobilised with peripheral neuropathy developed hypercalcaemia. It is suggested that hypercalcaemia aggravated the muscle weakness as well as producing systemic upset. The hypercalcaemia was controlled with corticosteroids which had to be continued over several months. A satisfactory remission of the disease occurred in both cases. The hypercalcaemia was attributed to immobil...

Polyneuropathy and Cerebral Infarction Complicating Scrub Typhus

We describe a 64-year-old man with scrub typhus who presented with both polyneuropathy and cerebral infarction. A eurological examination revealed a confused mental state, stiff neck, hearing impairment, symmetric weakness, sensory loss, and ataxia. Electrophysiologic studies showed demyelinating sensorimotor polyneuropathy and sensorineural hearing loss. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed...

Urethral flora in adolescent boys.

Diagnostic Systems was employed in order to use residual sample intended for culture. Despite this tenfold dilution and the deliberate use of clinical specimens with few inclusions in culture, all culture-positive samples were also positive by Amplicor PCR. Falsenegative PCR results in other studies were possibly the result of inhibitors in the sample. In the present study, the further dilution...
