- DIAGNOSTIC DILEMMA:
This month’s diagnostic dilemma:
A 3-years old boy has Fever of unknown origin, diarrhea and vomiting since 25 days. He has also developed thrombophlebitis and ARDS but cultures are negative. Investigations reveal persistent Leucocytosis, high CRP, high ESR, thrombocytosis, negative Widal test, ANF, Anti-ds DNA, Rheumatic Factor, LE cells, ANCA levels, normal immunoglobulins, normal NBT test. What is the differential diagnosis? Read the complete case and answer the dilemma…
Last month’s query
of a 6-year-old boy with ascitis, generalized edema, hypertension and hypoalbuminemia with normal renal function tests had various replies ranging from polycystic kidney disease to protein losing enteropathy. The authors have replied that kidney disease had been ruled out and are now working up the child on the lines of protein losing enteropathy as well as Tuberculous peritonitis. Hypertension still remains unexplained
