[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Acrodermatitis Enteropathica (AE) is an important nutritional disorder of children affecting both innate and cell mediated immunity. It predisposes to secondary bacterial and candida superinfections. We describe an infant with typical features of AE who had candida infection with a fulminant course. Need of early recognition and prompt initiation of therapy for fungal infection in AE is emphasized.The Indian Journal of Pediatrics 06/2009; 76(9):941-2. · 0.52 Impact Factor -
Article: Dengue fever and Kawasaki disease: a clinical dilemma.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There are several pediatric conditions which can present with fever and rash; however, it is uncommon to have two diseases occurring in a patient at the same time. We report a young child with fever and rash. He was initially diagnosed to have dengue fever based on clinical features and serological tests. Later in the course of illness he developed findings consistent with Kawasaki disease. This is extremely unusual and has rarely been reported before.Rheumatology International 12/2008; 29(6):717-9. · 1.88 Impact Factor
