Life Threatening

We report the case of a 45-year-old female patient who developed phosphate diabetes after administration of ferric carboxymaltose. Ten days after the second dose, she complained of intense fatigue and blood analysis showed a phosphate plasma level of 0.93 mg/dL with phosphate excretion rate of 23%. She received phosphate supplementation which resulted in phosphate clearance improvement which persisted for two months. We reviewed other cases described in the literature and would draw attention to this rare but potentially life-threatening side effect.

A 72-year-old female patient is presented, who was diagnosed with herpes zoster along the left ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve with associated cutaneous vesicles. The patient subsequently developed postherpetic neuralgia in the same dermatome, which, after remission, transformed into paroxysmal trigeminal pain. The two different symptom sets, with the former consistent with PHN and the later consistent with trigeminal neuralgia, were unique to our practice and the literature.

Immunodeficiency States

The von Meyenburg complex (VMC) is a rare, congenital malformation of the ductal plate. It is typically asymptomatic and usually discovered incidentally. We report a unique case of recurrent life-threatening hepatobiliary sepsis caused by VMC and a review of the literature. A 62-year-old man presented with recurrent episodes of life-threatening hepatobiliary sepsis. Extensive investigations only showed that he has VMCs without any other source of sepsis or underlying immunodeficiency states. Despite prolonged courses of antibiotics which resolved each episode of sepsis, he suffers repeated recurrences of hepatobiliary sepsis. Liver transplantation is now being considered in view of his refractoriness to medical therapy. As VMC can present with severe hepatobiliary sepsis, it is therefore essential to recognise its presence. This case adds to the literature the atypical but life-threatening clinical presentation of VMC.
