26. Neurosyphilis presenting with a large vessel occlusion: A case report.

Abstract

We describe a case of a 36-year-old man who presented with stroke in the right paramedian pons in the pontine perforator territory, manifesting as intermittent headache, slurred speech, left-sided weakness, and paresthesia. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge in identifying neurosyphilis as a cause of stroke in young individuals. Clinicians should maintain vigilance for this uncommon etiology through conducting a detailed history and investigation in susceptible patients with key risk factors. Once the diagnosis was confirmed in our case, a multidisciplinary approach was used for management with neurologists, infectious disease specialists, and the neurointerventional team. Our patient ultimately underwent successful therapy with mechanical thrombectomy for basilar artery thrombosis from meningovascular syphilis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

31. A fast hemoglobin variant on newborn screening is associated with alpha-thalassemia trait

Abstract

A definitive diagnostic test for alpha-thalassemia trait (alpha-thal-1) may be the presence of a fast-moving hemoglobin seen on electrophoresis. Alpha-thal-1 is a genetic condition that depresses blood cell synthesis and primarily affects blacks, Asians, and Mediterraneans. Researchers performed laboratory tests on the blood of 18 infants whose newborn laboratory reports detected a fast-moving hemoglobin on electrophoresis. All 18 infants were diagnosed with alpha-thal-1. Six of the infants were anemic and all had smaller than normal red blood cells. Genetic counseling may be recommended for affected Asian parents because the condition may be severe in Asians.

50. Fatal delayed transfusion reaction in a sickle cell anemia patient with Serratia marcescens sepsis

Abstract

Patients with sickle cell anemia may require repeated red cell transfusion, putting them at risk for minor blood group alloimmunization and the development of delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions. Although Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of life-threatening infection in patients with sickle cell anemia, those who have been recently hospitalized are at risk for infection with resistant hospital-associated organisms, and blood transfusion may put the patient at risk of infection with transfusion-associated organisms such as Serratia marcescens and Yersinic enterocolitica. We recently cared for an adolescent with sickle cell anemia who presented to the emergency department with a severe, delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction and Serratia marcescens infection. The patient had been discharged from the hospital five days previously, and had been transfused and treated with antibiotics while hospitalized. In addition to demonstrating the potential severity of delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions, our case illustrates the importance of providing relatively broad-spectrum antibiotic coverage to patients with sickle cell anemia and possible infection who have recently been hospitalized.
