False-positive HIV in a COVI-19 patient

Scoof P. False-positive HIV in a COVI-19 patient. Case Study and Case Report 2022; 12(2): 15 - 18. ABSTRACT Although a tiny percentage of Corona Virus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) cases are linked to co-infections, they can occasionally be false positive due to cross-reactivities. The purpose of this paper is to disclose a rare instance of COVID-19 patient with a false-positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Keywords: false, positive, HIV, COVID-19

Aortic valve insufficiency due to myxomatous degeneration: a case report

Ramindo TH, Pusin Q. Aortic valve insufficiency due to myxomatous degeneration: a case report. Case Study and Case Report 202; 12(1): 6 – 10. ABSTRACT Myxomatous degeneration is a non-inflammatory degenerative disease that causes acid mucopolysaccharide accumulation in the valve's fibrosa layer. This form of degeneration most usually affects the mitral valve, resulting in mitral regurgitation; nevertheless, few cases of myxomatous aortic valve degeneration resulting in acute decompensated heart failure have been recorded. We present a case of acute decompensated heart failure caused by myxomatous aortic valve degeneration to emphasize the need of investigating myxomatous degeneration as an underlying etiology of symptomatic aortic insufficiency. Over the course of a month, a 61-year-old woman developed increasingly worsening dyspnea, cough, and peripheral edema. Aortic valve regurgitation was discovered through a clinical evaluation and imaging investigations (AVR). Following that, the aortic valve was replaced. The histology result indicated that the aortic valve had myxomatous degeneration. The patient was sent home once his symptoms improved. The bioprosthetic valve had a normal hemodynamic profile across it, with no aortic regurgitation or paravalvular leak, according to a subsequent transesophageal echocardiography. We present a case of heart failure caused by myxomatous aortic valve degeneration with a distinctive appearance. In addition, a review of the available literature on myxomatous aortic valve degeneration was undertaken to highlight the importance of early diagnosis and adequate treatment in improving the quality of life of patients. Keywords: Aortic regurgitation; valvular disease; myxomatous degeneration

Primary solitary fibrous tumor of the thyroid gland: a case report

Bekabi VT. Primary solitary fibrous tumor of the thyroid gland: a case report. Case Study and Case Report 202; 12(1): 1 – 5. ABSTRACT The thyroid gland's primary solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor with fibroblastic differentiation, ramified, thin-walled, swollen (staghorn) arteries, and an unique NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion that is more usually observed in the pleura and peritoneum. This neoplasm can occur in a variety of anatomical locations. Examples of places outside the pleura and peritoneum include bone, visceral organs, and soft tissues, as well as the head and neck. Extra-pleural and extra-peritoneal tumors account for only 10-15% of all extra-pleural and extra-peritoneal tumors. This entity's diagnosis can be difficult. Microscopic characteristics, in combination with STAT6 and CD34 positive, help confirm the diagnosis and rule out other possibilities. Differential diagnosis is a term used to describe a thyroid SFTs have little information about their diagnostic and therapeutic choices. Raising awareness of the tumor's extra-pleural and extraperitoneal presence in endocrine organs will help these patients be effectively managed. The case of a 44-year-old woman with primary SFT of the thyroid gland is presented. In addition, we search the literature for the neoplasm's primary clinical, paraclinical, and pathological characteristics. Keywords: Thyroid, mesenchymal, neoplasm

Post COVID-19 vaccination panic: A case report

Niones V. Post COVID-19 vaccination panic: A case report. Case Study Case Rep. 2021; 11(4): 47 - 49. ABSTRACT COVID-19 is an important public health problem and COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for disease prevention. The vaccine hesitancy on efficacy and safety of the new COVID-19 vaccine is an important clinic problem. As a new vaccine, there are limited data on COVID-19 In this case report, the author reports a case study on the post COVID-19 vaccination panic. Keywords: COVID-19, vaccine, panic

Rabies vaccination on the same day as COVID-19 vaccination: A case

Supasirinpinyothum V. Rabies vaccination on the same day as COVID-19 vaccination: A case. Case Study Case Rep. 2021; 11(4): 44 - 46. ABSTRACT COVID-19 is an important public health problem and COVID-19 vaccination is the effective primary prevention. The efficacy and safety of the new COVID-19 vaccine is an important clinical consideration. As a new vaccine, the accumulation of clinical data is important. In general, COVID-19 vaccination is not recommended for administration at the same day as other vaccination. However, it is sometimes necessary to provide other vaccination. In this case report, the author reports the first case in the literature on rabies vaccination on the same day as COVID-19 vaccination. Keywords: COVID-19, rabies, vaccine

Repeated herpes zoster after the first and second doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccination

Marco CM. Repeated herpes zoster after the first and second doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. Case Study Case Rep. 2021; 11(4): 41 - 43. ABSTRACT COVID-19 is an important global problem. COVID-19 vaccination is the primary prevention for containment of pandemic. The mRNA COVID-19 vaccine is proposed for its effectiveness in immunogenicity. The adverse event following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination is an interesting clinical issue. Dermatological adverse effect of vaccine is sporadically reported. Zoster might occur after vaccination. Here, the author presents and discusses on a case of Repeated herpes zoster after the first and second doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. Keywords: COVID-19, vaccine, zoster
