Understanding Autoimmune Ear disease a potentially treatable cause of Deafness.
I N T R O D U C T I O N Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a common finding with an exhaustive list of etiologies. Rapidly progressive sensorineural hearing loss is quite distressing to patients as they are abruptly required to function with a reduced level of sensation of their environment. Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) is a rare diagnosis and frequently omitted from the differential d...
متن کاملFree-thiamine is a potential biomarker of thiamine transporter-2 deficiency: a treatable cause of Leigh syndrome.
Thiamine transporter-2 deficiency is caused by mutations in the SLC19A3 gene. As opposed to other causes of Leigh syndrome, early administration of thiamine and biotin has a dramatic and immediate clinical effect. New biochemical markers are needed to aid in early diagnosis and timely therapeutic intervention. Thiamine derivatives were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography in 106 w...
متن کاملNeonatal isolated ACTH deficiency (IAD): a potentially life-threatening but treatable cause of neonatal cholestasis
Isolated ACTH deficiency (IAD) is a rare cause of neonatal cholestasis and hypoglycaemia. This diagnosis has a 20% mortality potential if unrecognised. We describe a case of an infant presenting with cholestatic jaundice and hypoglycaemia. The patient had laboratory findings suggestive of IAD, which was later confirmed with molecular genetic testing. One of the mutations this patient had is a n...
متن کاملA Korean Female Patient with Thiamine-responsive Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiency Due to a Novel Point Mutation (Y161C)in the PDHA1 Gene
Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) deficiency is mostly due to mutations in the X-linked E1alpha subunit gene (PDHA1). Some of the patients with PDHC deficiency showed clinical improvements with thiamine treatment. We report the results of biochemical and molecular analysis in a female patient with lactic acidemia. The PDHC activity was assayed at different concentrations of thiamine pyropho...
متن کاملAutoimmune encephalitis: a potentially treatable cause of mental disorder
The term limbic encephalitis was first used by Corsellis et al (1968) to describe a neuropsychiatric syndrome characterised by subacute onset of memory disturbance, hallucinations and seizures, with evidence of inflammation in the medial temporal lobes. The use of the word limbic could be criticised in this context, as inflammation has been described elsewhere in the brain, but the term appears...
