Very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder affecting fatty acid β-oxidation, primarily caused by mutations in the ACADVL gene. This condition can manifest in neonates with severe symptoms, including hypoglycemia, cardiomyopathy, and sudden cardiac arrest, often leading to high mortality rates if not diagnosed early.
Chronic Septic Granulomatosis (CSG) is a primary immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the genes of the NADPH oxidase complex, which is essential for innate immunity. This rare condition is characterized by recurrent bacterial and fungal infections, as well as the formation of granulomas affecting various organs.
Lymphoepithelial parotid cysts are rare in HIV-negative patients and recurrence rate is very low when they occur. As of our knowledge, there is no similar reported case in the English literature. We present a case of a 42-year-old female Human retroviral infection (HIV) negative female patient who presented with recurrent parotid swelling.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in secondary infections, including mucormycosis, particularly among immunocompromised patients. A 58-year-old male with uncontrolled diabetes and a history of right-sided stroke presented with continuous fever and severe dyspnea. Initial antibiotic therapy failed to resolve symptoms.
Scurvy, a condition resulting from vitamin C (ascorbic acid) deficiency, was previously thought to be rare in affluent countries, yet its prevalence has increased in recent years even in these regions.
