(Medknow Publications, 2016) J. Singh; M.L. Patel; K.K. Gupta; S.A. Pandey; A. Dinkar
Aminoglycoside nephrotoxicity may manifest as nonoliguric renal failure or tubular dysfunction, such as Fanconi-like syndrome, Bartter-like syndrome (BS), or distal renal tubular acidosis. We report a case who developed severe renal tubular dysfunction on the the 7 th day of gentamicin therapy, resulting in metabolic alkalosis, refractory hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and polyuria. The patient was diagnosed as a case of transient BS associated with gentamicin exposure. The patient recovered with conservative management. © 2016 Indian Journal of Nephrology | Published by Wolters Kluwer - Medknow.
Acute myocardial infarction associated with severe Plasmodium vivax malaria
(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2020) A. Dinkar; J. Singh; S. Singh
Malaria is still a major public health problem, even after many preventive strategies. Plasmodium vivax is also a major health concern now due to the addition of new unusual manifestations day by day in its clinical profile. Herewith, we report a case of a 15-yr-old male of severe P. vivax malaria (complicated with thrombocytopenia, hepatitis, acute lung injury, and shock), who developed chest pain. Later, he was confirmed to have acute myocardial infarction based on electrocardiography, cardiac enzymes, and echocardiography. PubMed and Google-based literature search found that it was the first confirmed case of this type. Fortunately, timely diagnosis and appropriate management saved his life. © 2020 Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications. All rights reserved.
