Sarcoidosis is a chronic multisystem disorder of unknown etiology characterized by formation of granulomata within affected organs and consequent distortion of their normal architecture. Typically, these are non-caseating epithelioid granulomata involving organized collections of activated macrophages and T lymphocytes. In countries where tuberculosis is endemic, sarcoidosis is often misdiagnosed and mistreated as tuberculosis. We present case report of a 47-year-old female who presented with 2 years history of recurrent, multiple nodules with occasional joint pain & fever and had received anti-tubercular therapy without any improvement. A diagnosis of sarcoidosis is made finally and she was managed accordingly.Bangladesh J Medicine Jan 2017; 28(1) : 50-52

ABSTRACT Lyme disease, an infectious multisystemic disease is caused by "Borrelia burgdorferi". It is a spirochete transmitted by the Ixodes tick. Until today, only one case has been reported from Nepal. Here we report case of a 50-year female from Gulmi, who presented with a history of fever, multiple joint pain, tiredness, tingling sensation, and a painful brownish raised lesion over the neck and anterior chest. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed by histological findings typical of erythema chronicum migrans and by serology. The patient was treated successfully with doxycycline. This is the second case report of Lyme disease from Nepal and the first documented case who presented with typical erythema chronicum migrans. We suspect that Lyme disease might not have been considered in the differential diagnosis of fever with rash and joint pain in Nepal and suggest that it is to be kept as a differential in the given scenario.

Abstract Background Ocular cysticercosis is a disease which rarely involves cutaneous skin and the optic nerve. Patients with clinical presentation of subcutaneous nodules and papilledema should always be evaluated for cysticercosis. Case presentation We report a rare case of ocular cysticercosis with multiple disseminated subcutaneous nodules and papilledema in both eyes. A 22-year-old Brahmin man presented with complaints of gradual loss of vision in both eyes and multiple small masses all over his body. On clinical evaluation, multiple subcutaneous nodules were seen on his face, mandibular area, elbow, arm, and abdomen. A fundus evaluation showed bilateral blurred disc margin. The case was managed with steroids and anti-parasitic drugs. Conclusion This case report highlights the importance of ruling out neurocysticercosis in cases with multiple disseminated subcutaneous nodules and papilledema.

I was a little surprised to read that only two instances of recurrent joint pain in adult women receiving rubella vaccine have been reported.1 I submit the following case report. A rubella seronegative female pediatrician (D.T.) in the child-bearing age range received Meruvax rubella vaccine and was converted to rubella seropositive. Over the next year there were five episodes of arthritis, mainly involving the joints of the hands, with sufficient swelling and pain to make fastening a safety pin extremely difficult, and sonic milder pain in the feet.
