Mitochondrial Complex Ii Deficiency Wikipedia

Mitochondrial complex II deficiency , also called CII deficiency , is a rare mitochondrial disease. As of 2013, about thirty-six cases had been reported. [1] Contents 1 Signs and symptoms 2 Causes 3 Diagnosis 4 Prognosis 5 References Signs and symptoms [ edit ] Mitochondrial complex II deficiency affects the body's mitochondria [2] and can have a variety of presentations. In some cases, the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, and muscles are affected, while in other cases, only the heart and muscles are affected with adult onset. [3] Common symptoms include the Babinski sign , muscle weakness, distal amyotrophy (muscle wasting of the limbs), developmental regression (loss of developmental milestones), and being easy to fatigue. [2] Causes [ edit ] CII deficiency is a genetic disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance, [3] meaning that a person must inherit a genetic mutation from each parent to be affected. [2] Diagnosis [ edit ] The most effective way to diagnose CII deficiency is by measuring the activity of complex II in the muscles. [3] Prognosis [ edit ] In more severe cases where multiple organ systems are affected, death can occur in early life due to multisystem failure.

A rare, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation disorder characterized by a highly variable phenotype. The severe, multisystemic disease involves brain, heart, muscles, liver, kidneys, and eyes and results in death in infancy. Mildly affected individuals have only isolated cardiac or muscle involvement in the adulthood. Histochemical and biochemical analysis reveals a global reduction of succinate dehydrogenase activity.
Mitochondrial Complex Ii Deficiency Gard

Complex II deficiency is a mitochondrial disease. Mitochondria are specialized compartments in cells that create more than 90% of the energy needed by the body. In mitochondrial diseases, the mitochondria don't work correctly resulting in less energy in the cell, cell injury and cell death. The signs and symptoms of mitochondrial complex II deficiency can vary greatly from severe life-threatening symptoms in infancy to muscle disease beginning in adulthood. Complex II deficiency can be caused by mutations in the SDHA , SDHB , SDHD , or SDHAF1 genes. In many cases the underlying gene mutations cannot be identified. Complex II deficiency is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion.

Familial Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Dyskinesia Medlineplus

Familial paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia is a disorder characterized by episodes of abnormal movement that range from mild to severe. In the condition name, the word paroxysmal indicates that the abnormal movements come and go over time, kinesigenic means that episodes are triggered by movement, and dyskinesia refers to involuntary movement of the body. People with familial paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia experience episodes of irregular jerking or shaking movements that are induced by sudden motion, such as standing up quickly or being startled. An episode may involve slow, prolonged muscle contractions (dystonia); small, fast, "dance-like" motions (chorea); writhing movements of the limbs (athetosis); or, rarely, flailing movements of the limbs (ballismus). Familial paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia may affect one or both sides of the body.

Clinical Features Valente et al. (2000) reported a large Indian kindred in which 13 individuals received a definite diagnosis of PKC. Family history indicated that 4 deceased individuals had been affected. The male:female ratio was 1.8:1. Age at onset ranged from 7 to 13 years, and all had brief attacks of up to 2 minutes consisting of dystonic or choreic movements precipitated by sudden movements, with a frequency of 1 to 20 episodes per day. None of the affected patients had a history of benign infantile convulsions.
Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Dyskinesia Orphanet

Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is a form of paroxysmal dyskinesia (see this term), characterized by recurrent brief involuntary hyperkinesias, such as choreoathetosis, ballism, athetosis or dystonia, triggered by sudden movements. Epidemiology The prevalence is estimated to be 1/150,000 worldwide. PKD is the most common form of paroxysmal dyskinesia. Males are more commonly affected than females (sex ratio of 3 or 4 to 1) in the sporadic form. Clinical description The age of disease onset is typically in childhood or adolescence with a peak in puberty. PKD is triggered by a sudden movement from rest (such as rising from a chair or starting to walk, or by exercise) and is characterized by brief attacks of dystonia, chorea or athetosis movements preceded by aura (that usually last less than 1 min), without alteration of consciousness.

Paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis Other names Familial PKD Paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner Specialty Neurology Paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis ( PKC ) also called paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia ( PKD ) is a hyperkinetic movement disorder characterized by attacks of involuntary movements, which are triggered by sudden voluntary movements. The number of attacks can increase during puberty and decrease in a person's 20s to 30s. Involuntary movements can take many forms such as ballism, chorea or dystonia and usually only affect one side of the body or one limb in particular. This rare disorder only affects about 1 in 150,000 people, [1] with PKD accounting for 86.8% of all the types of paroxysmal dyskinesias , [2] and occurs more often in males than females. There are two types of PKD, primary and secondary. Primary PKD can be further broken down into familial and sporadic.
Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Choreoathetosis Gard

Paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis involves episodes of irregular jerking or shaking movements that are induced by sudden motion, such as standing up quickly or being startled. Cold, hyperventilation, and mental tension have also been reported to trigger attacks in some cases. The exact type of abnormal movement varies among affected individuals but may include prolonged muscle contractions, writhing motions, or fast, "dance-like" motions. One or both sides of the body may be affected. The episodes can sometimes be preceded by a crawling or tingling sensation in the affected body part and do not involve a loss of consciousness. Individuals with paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis usually begin to show signs and symptoms of the disorder during childhood or adolescence.

Epidemiology Fewer than 20 cases have been reported to date. Clinical description Affected female newborns present with different degrees of ambiguous genitalia, virilization and non-palpable gonads, in one case female genitalia were present. Female internal genitalia differentiation is unaffected. Ovarian cystic follicles may appear in childhood, even at birth, or adolescence when patients manifest primary amenorrhea and no pubertal growth spurt. Breasts remain hypoplastic after initial development during puberty, while pubic hairs develop in a normal fashion. Males may present with cryptorchidism, but are generally asymptomatic until after puberty when patients present with bone pain and tall stature.
Aromatase Deficiency Medlineplus

Aromatase deficiency is a condition characterized by reduced levels of the female sex hormone estrogen and increased levels of the male sex hormone testosterone. Females with aromatase deficiency have a typical female chromosome pattern (46,XX ) but are born with external genitalia that do not appear clearly female or male (ambiguous genitalia). These individuals typically have normal internal reproductive organs , but develop ovarian cysts early in childhood, which impair the release of egg cells from the ovaries (ovulation). In adolescence, most affected females do not develop secondary sexual characteristics, such as breast growth and menstrual periods. They tend to develop acne and excessive body hair growth (hirsutism).

ACD typically presents in newborn babies within hours of birth as rapid and labored breathing , blue-colored lips or skin , quickly leading to respiratory failure and death. Atypical forms of ACD have been reported with initially milder symptoms and survival of many months before the onset of respiratory failure or lung transplantation . Most cases of ACD are caused by mutations affecting the gene FOXF1 or its nearby enhancer region. [3] Exactly how these mutations lead to abnormal lung development is unknown. Abnormal lung development is characterized by thickened alveolar interstitium, misplacement of pulmonary capillaries away from the alveolar surface, and fewer capillaries overall.

Aicardi Syndrome Gard

Aicardi syndrome is a rare neurological disorder. The severity of the syndrome and the associated signs and symptoms vary from person to person. The three main features of Aicardi syndrome are: Complete or partial absence of the nerve tissue that allows the right and left sides of the brain to communicate (corpus callosum) Seizures beginning in infancy ( infantile spasms ), that may become hard to control ( refractory epilepsy ) Defects or holes in the light sensitive tissue at the back of the eye ( retina ) known as chorioretinal lacunae Other signs and symptoms may include: Developmental delay Intellectual disability that ranges from very mild to severe Characteristic facial features, such as a short distance between the nose and lips, a flat nose, large ears and thin eyebrows. Other brain malformations such as a very small head (microcephaly) Other eye defects, such as very small eyes ( microphthalmia ) or a defect of the nerve connecting the retina to the brain ( optic nerve ) known as coloboma . The cause of Aicardi syndrome is currently unknown. Because the syndrome almost only affects females, it is believed to be caused by a change (mutation) in a gene located on the X-chromosome and inherited in a dominant X-linked manner. However, most cases are de novo , which means the genetic change happened by mistake during the making of the egg or the sperm and there are no other cases of the syndrome in the family.
Aicardi Syndrome Gene_reviews

Summary Clinical characteristics. Aicardi syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects primarily females. Initially it was characterized by a typical triad of agenesis of the corpus callosum, central chorioretinal lacunae, and infantile spasms. As more affected individuals have been ascertained, it has become clear that not all affected girls have all three features of the classic triad and that other neurologic and systemic defects are common, including other brain malformations, optic nerve abnormalities, other seizure types, intellectual disability of varying severity, and scoliosis. Diagnosis/testing. The diagnosis of Aicardi syndrome is based exclusively on clinical findings. Modified diagnostic criteria include either presence of the classic triad or the presence of two of the classic triad plus at least two other major or supporting features.
Aicardi Syndrome Medlineplus

Aicardi syndrome is a disorder that occurs almost exclusively in females. It is characterized by three main features that occur together in most affected individuals. People with Aicardi syndrome have absent or underdeveloped tissue connecting the left and right halves of the brain (agenesis or dysgenesis of the corpus callosum ). They have seizures beginning in infancy (infantile spasms), which tend to progress to recurrent seizures (epilepsy) that can be difficult to treat. Affected individuals also have chorioretinal lacunae, which are defects in the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (retina).

Robinow syndrome is a rare disorder that affects the development of many parts of the body, particularly the skeleton. The types of Robinow syndrome can be distinguished by the severity of their signs and symptoms and by their pattern of inheritance: autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant. Autosomal recessive Robinow syndrome is characterized by skeletal abnormalities including shortening of the long bones in the arms and legs, particularly the forearms; abnormally short fingers and toes (brachydactyly); wedge-shaped spinal bones (hemivertebrae) leading to an abnormal curvature of the spine (kyphoscoliosis ); fused or missing ribs; and short stature. Affected individuals also have distinctive facial features, such as a broad forehead, prominent and widely spaced eyes , a short nose with an upturned tip, a wide nasal bridge , and a broad and triangle-shaped mouth. Together, these facial features are sometimes described as "fetal facies" because they resemble the facial structure of a developing fetus.

Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency Gard

Pyruvate kinase deficiency is a genetic blood disorder characterized by low levels of an enzyme called pyruvate kinase , which is used by red blood cells. Without pyruvate kinase, red blood cells break down too easily, resulting in low levels of these cells (hemolytic anemia). The signs and symptoms of the disease may vary greatly from person to person. However, they usually include jaundice, enlargement of the spleen , and mild or severe hemolysis (red cell breakdown), leading to anemia. In some cases, the problems may first appear while in utero, causing a condition in which abnormal amounts of fluid build up in two or more body areas of the fetus (hydrops fetalis).
Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency Medlineplus

Pyruvate kinase deficiency is an inherited disorder that affects red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the body's tissues. People with this disorder have a condition known as chronic hemolytic anemia, in which red blood cells are broken down (undergo hemolysis) prematurely, resulting in a shortage of red blood cells (anemia). Specifically, pyruvate kinase deficiency is a common cause of a type of inherited hemolytic anemia called hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia. In hereditary nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia, the red blood cells do not assume a spherical shape as they do in some other forms of hemolytic anemia. Chronic hemolytic anemia can lead to unusually pale skin (pallor), yellowing of the eyes and skin (jaundice), extreme tiredness (fatigue), shortness of breath (dyspnea), and a rapid heart rate (tachycardia).
Hemolytic Anemia Due To Red Cell Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency Orphanet

A rare, genetic metabolic disorder due to pyruvate kinase deficiency characterized by a variable degree of chronic nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia resulting in a variable clinical manifestations ranging from fatal anemia at birth to a to a fully compensated hemolysis without apparent anemia. Epidemiology Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is the most frequent cause of congenital nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia with a prevalence estimated at 1/20,000 in the general white population. Clinical description Clinically, PK-deficient patients suffer from a highly variable degree of chronic hemolysis, ranging from severe neonatal jaundice and fatal anemia at birth, severe transfusion-dependent chronic hemolysis, moderate hemolysis with exacerbation during infection, to a fully compensated hemolysis without apparent anemia. Symptoms are usually present at birth but, due to the variable severity, may not be recognized or acknowledged until later. Chronic icterus, gallstones, iron overload and splenomegaly are common findings.

Pyruvate kinase deficiency is the second most common cause of enzyme-deficient hemolytic anemia , following G6PD deficiency . [6] Contents 1 Signs and symptoms 2 Cause 3 Pathophysiology 4 Diagnosis 5 Treatment 6 Epidemiology 7 See also 8 References 9 Further reading 10 External links Signs and symptoms [ edit ] Gallstones Symptoms can be extremely varied among those suffering from pyruvate kinase deficiency. The majority of those suffering from the disease are detected at birth while some only present symptoms during times of great physiological stress such as pregnancy, or with acute illnesses ( viral disorders). [7] Symptoms are limited to or most severe during childhood. [8] Among the symptoms of pyruvate kinase deficiency are: [2] Mild to severe hemolytic Anemia Cholecystolithiasis Tachycardia Hemochromatosis Icteric sclera Splenomegaly Leg ulcers Jaundice Fatigue Shortness of breath The level of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate is elevated: 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate, a precursor of phosphoenolpyruvate which is the substrate for Pyruvate kinase, is increased and so the Luebering-Rapoport pathway is overactivated. This led to a rightward shift in the oxygen dissociation curve of hemoglobin (i.e. it decreases the hemoglobin affinity for oxygen): In consequence, patients may tolerate anemia surprisingly well. [9] Cause [ edit ] Pyruvate kinase deficiency is due to a mutation in the PKLR gene.

Argininosuccinic Aciduria Wikipedia

Argininosuccinic aciduria Other names Argininosuccinic acidemia argininosuccinate Specialty Endocrinology Argininosuccinic aciduria , is an inherited disorder that causes the accumulation of argininosuccinic acid (also known as "ASA") in the blood and urine. Some patients may also have an elevation of ammonia, a toxic chemical, which can affect the nervous system. Argininosuccinic aciduria may become evident in the first few days of life because of high blood ammonia, or later in life presenting with "sparse" or "brittle" hair, developmental delay, and tremors. An infant with argininosuccinic aciduria may seem lethargic or be unwilling to eat, have poorly controlled breathing rate or body temperature , experience seizures or unusual body movements, or go into a coma . Complications from argininosuccinic aciduria may include developmental delay and mental retardation .
Argininosuccinate Lyase Deficiency Gene_reviews

Summary Clinical characteristics. Deficiency of argininosuccinate lyase (ASL), the enzyme that cleaves argininosuccinic acid to produce arginine and fumarate in the fourth step of the urea cycle, may present as a severe neonatal-onset form and a late-onset form: The severe neonatal-onset form is characterized by hyperammonemia within the first few days after birth that can manifest as increasing lethargy, somnolence, refusal to feed, vomiting, tachypnea, and respiratory alkalosis. Absence of treatment leads to worsening lethargy, seizures, coma, and even death. In contrast, the manifestations of late-onset form range from episodic hyperammonemia triggered by acute infection or stress to cognitive impairment, behavioral abnormalities, and/or learning disabilities in the absence of any documented episodes of hyperammonemia. Manifestations of ASL deficiency (ASLD) that appear to be unrelated to the severity or duration of hyperammonemic episodes: Neurocognitive deficiencies (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, developmental delay, seizures, and learning disability) Liver disease (hepatitis, cirrhosis) Trichorrhexis nodosa (coarse brittle hair that breaks easily) Systemic hypertension Diagnosis/testing. Elevated plasma ammonia concentration (>100 µmol/L), elevated plasma citrulline concentration (usually 100-300 µmol/L), and elevated argininosuccinic acid in the plasma or urine establish the diagnosis of ASLD.
Argininosuccinic Aciduria Gard

Argininosuccinic aciduria is an inherited disorder that causes ammonia to accumulate in the blood. Ammonia, which is formed when proteins are broken down in the body, is toxic if the levels become too high. The nervous system is especially sensitive to the effects of excess ammonia. Argininosuccinic aciduria usually becomes evident in the first few days of life. An infant with argininosuccinic aciduria may be lacking in energy (lethargic) or unwilling to eat, and have poorly controlled breathing rate or body temperature.
Argininosuccinic Aciduria Orphanet

A rare, genetic disorder of urea cycle metabolism typically characterized by either a severe, neonatal-onset form that manifests with hyperammonemia accompanied with vomiting, hypothermia, lethargy and poor feeding in the first few days of life, or late-onset forms that manifest with stress- or infection-induced episodic hyperammonemia or, in some, behavioral abnormalities and/or learning disabilities, or chronic liver disease. Patients often manifest liver dysfunction. Epidemiology The prevalence at birth of argininosuccinic aciduria (ASA) ranges between 1/70,000-218,000 worldwide. Clinical description ASA can have a variable clinical picture with either a neonatal-onset or a late-onset (at any age outside the newborn period). Neonates with severe neonatal-onset ASA usually appear normal during the first 24-48 hours after birth but within a few days present with severe hyperammonemia manifesting with lethargy, somnolence, refusal to feed, vomiting, tachypnea and respiratory alkalosis. If untreated, worsening lethargy, seizures, coma and death may occur.

Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Congenita Medlineplus

Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita is an inherited bone growth disorder that results in short stature (dwarfism), skeletal abnormalities, and problems with vision and hearing. This condition affects the bones of the spine (spondylo-) and the ends (epiphyses) of long bones in the arms and legs. Congenita indicates that the condition is present from birth. People with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita have short stature from birth, with a very short trunk and neck and shortened limbs. Their hands and feet, however, are usually average-sized. Adult height ranges from 3 feet to just over 4 feet. Abnormal curvature of the spine (kyphoscoliosis and lordosis ) becomes more severe during childhood.
Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Congenita Orphanet

Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SEDC) is a chondrodysplasia characterized by disproportionate short stature, abnormal epiphyses and flattened vertebral bodies. Epidemiology The prevalence is approximately 1 per 100,000 live births. Males and females are equally affected. Clinical description Clinical manifestations may include short stature with a very short trunk and neck and shortened limbs, clubfoot, coxa vara, cleft palate, flat facial features, hypertelorism, eye abnormalities (nystagmus, congenital cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment), decreased hearing, and characteristic radiologic findings (flattened vertebral bodies, flat acetabular roof, delayed ossification of the femoral heads with degenerative changes). Decreased joint mobility and arthritis often develop early in life. Intelligence is usually unaffected. Etiology SEDC is caused by mutation in the COL2A1 gene (locus 12q13.11-q13.2).
Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Congenita Gard

Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita is an inherited disorder of bone growth that affects the bones of the spine and ends of the long bones in the arms and legs. Features of this condition include short stature ( dwarfism ); a very short trunk and neck; abnormal curvature of the spine; barrel-shaped chest; shortened limbs; an abnormality of the hip joint; and problems with vision and hearing. Arthritis and decreased joint mobility often develop early in life. More than 175 cases have been reported in the scientific literature. This condition is caused by mutations in the COL2A1 gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Most cases result from new mutations in the gene and occur in people with no family history of the condition.

17q12 Deletion Syndrome Medlineplus

17q12 deletion syndrome is a condition that results from the deletion of a small piece of chromosome 17 in each cell. The deletion occurs on the long (q) arm of the chromosome at a position designated q12. The signs and symptoms of 17q12 deletion syndrome vary widely, even among affected members of the same family. Among the more common features associated with this chromosomal change are problems with development or function of the kidneys and urinary system . These abnormalities range from very severe malformations, leading to kidney failure before birth, to mild or no problems with kidney and urinary tract function.
17q12 Microdeletion Syndrome Orphanet

17q12 microdeletion syndrome is a rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome resulting from the partial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 17 characterized by renal cystic disease, maturity onset diabetes of the young type 5, and neurodevelopmental disorders, such as cognitive impairment, developmental delay (particularly of speech), autistic traits and autism spectrum disorder. Müllerian aplasia in females, macrocephaly, mild facial dysmorphism (high forehead, deep set eyes and chubby cheeks) and transient hypercalcaemia have also been reported.
17q12 Deletion Syndrome Gard

17q12 deletion syndrome is a chromosome abnormality in which there is a small missing piece (deletion) of genetic material on the long arm (q) of chromosome 17 . Signs and symptoms can vary widely among people with this syndrome. More common signs and symptoms include abnormalities of the kidneys or urinary tract, a form of diabetes called maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 (MODY5), and mildly distinctive facial features. Other signs and symptoms may include developmental delay, intellectual disability, and behavioral or psychiatric disorders. Some people with 17q12 deletion syndrome have seizures, and/or abnormalities of the eyes, liver, brain, genitalia, or other body systems. 17q12 deletion syndrome is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner; however, in most people with this syndrome, the deletion is not inherited from a parent and occurs sporadically. Less commonly, a person with 17q12 deletion syndrome inherits the deletion from a parent.

Invasive Candidiasis Wikipedia

Emergent species [ edit ] Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant yeast that can cause invasive candidiasis and is associated with high mortality. [6] It was first described in 2009. [6] Since then, C. auris infections, specifically fungemia, have been reported from South Korea, India, South Africa, Kuwait, Colombia, Venezuela, Pakistan, the United Kingdom and the United States. [6] The strains isolated in each region are genetically distinct, indicating that this species is emerging in different locations. [6] The reason for this pattern is unknown. [6] Risk factors [ edit ] Patients with the following conditions, treatments or situations are at increased risk for invasive candidiasis. [4] [2] [7] Critical illness Long-term intensive care unit stay Abdominal surgery (aggravated by anastomotic leakage or repeat laparotomies ) Immunosuppressive diseases Acute necrotizing pancreatitis Malignant hematologic disease Solid-organ transplantation Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation Solid- organ tumors Neonates (especially low birth weight and preterm infants) Broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment Central venous catheter Internal prosthetic device Total parenteral nutrition Hemodialysis Glucocorticoid use Chemotherapy Noninvasive Candida colonization (particularly if multifocal) Transmission [ edit ] Invasive candidiasis is a nosocomial infection with the majority of cases associated with hospital stays. [4] Diagnosis [ edit ] Because many Candida species are part of the human microbiota , their presence in the mouth, the vagina, sputum, urine, stool, or skin is not definitive evidence for invasive candidiasis. [2] Positive culture of Candida species from normally sterile sites, such as blood, cerebrospinal fluid , pericardium , pericardial fluid , or biopsied tissue , is definitive evidence of invasive candidiasis. [2] Diagnosis by culturing allows subsequent susceptibility testing of causative species. [8] [7] Sensitivity of blood culture is far from ideal, with a sensitivity reported to be between 21 and 71%. [7] Additionally, whereas blood culture can establish a diagnosis during fungemia , the blood may test negative for deep-seated infections because candida may have been successfully cleared from the blood. [7] Diagnosis of invasive candidiasis is supported by histopathologic evidence (for example, yeast cells or hyphae ) observed in specimens of affected tissues. [2] Additionally, elevated serum β-glucan can demonstrate invasive candidiasis while a negative test suggests a low likelihood of systemic infection. [9] [2] The emergence of multidrug-resistant C. auris as a cause of invasive candidiasis has necessitated additional testing in some settings. [6] C. auris -caused invasive candidiasis is associated with high mortality. [6] Many C. auris isolates have been found to be resistant to one or more of the three major antifungal classes (azoles, echinocandins, and polyenes) with some resistant to all three classes – severely limiting treatment options. [6] Biochemical-based tests currently used in many laboratories to identify fungi, including API 20C AUX and VITEK-2 , cannot differentiate C. auris from related species (for example, C. auris can be identified as C. haemulonii ). [6] Therefore, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends using a diagnostic method based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry or a molecular method based on sequencing the D1-D2 region of the 28s rDNA to identify C. auris in settings where it may be present. [6] Prevention [ edit ] Preventive antifungal treatment is supported by studies, but only for specific high-risk groups in intensive care units with conditions that put them at high risk for the disease. [7] For example, one group would be patients recovering from abdominal surgery that may have gastrointestinal perforations or anastomotic leakage . [7] Antifungal prophylaxis can reduce the incidence of fungemia by approximately 50%, but has not been shown to improve survival. [7] A major challenge limiting the number of patients receiving prophylaxis to only those that can potentially benefit, thereby avoiding the creation of selective pressure that can lead to the emergence of resistance . [7] Treatment [ edit ] Antifungals are used for treatment with the specific type and dose depending on the patient's age, immune status, and specifics of the infection.

Episcleritis Wikipedia

Most cases of episcleritis resolve within 7–10 days. [1] The nodular type is more aggressive and takes longer to resolve. [1] Although rare, some cases may progress to scleritis. [12] However, in general, episcleritis does not cause complications in the eye. [12] Smoking tobacco delays the response to treatment in patients with episcleritis. [13] Epidemiology [ edit ] While episcleritis is a common disease, [14] its exact prevalence and incidence are unknown. [5] It typically affects young [14] or middle aged women. [5] The diffuse form of episcleritis (70%) is more common than the nodular form (30%). [5] One retrospective study found 28 percent of individuals with episcleritis experienced recurrent episodes of the disease. [15] References [ edit ] ^ a b c d e Heath, Greg (10 February 2010).
