Non menstrual staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome is rare in small infants. This is a 4-month-old infant presented to us with a picture of bronchiolitis and few postuler skin lesions, treated with antistapylococcal antibiotics in addition to other supportive medications. On the 4th day of therapy the patient developed sunburn like erythroderma, hypotension, and high grade fever. The dose of antibiotics was increased to the maximum possible dose, in addition to other supportive medications. The patient improved and developed extensive desquamation in both hands and feet on the 14th day of hospitalization, which confirms the diagnosis.

Hepatitis C Virus Genotypes In Saudi Arabia, Abimbola O. Osoba
Hepatitis C Virus Genotypes In Saudi Arabia, Abimbola O. Osoba
Saudi Medical Journal
Hepatitis C virus genotypes have been associated with specific geographical areas and in many cases with specific mode of transmission. In developed countries, genotype determination has formed a part of the management of patients with hepatitis C virus seropositivity and liver diseases due to hepatitis C virus. The epidemiology of hepatitis C virus has been shown to be changing rapidly in many countries due to population movement and different life-styles; hence the distribution of the genotypes is being monitored closely in many countries. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, there are only a handful of publications recording the hepatitis C …

Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator For Acute Ischemic Stroke, Amira R. Al-Buhairi, Mohammed M. Jan
Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator For Acute Ischemic Stroke, Amira R. Al-Buhairi, Mohammed M. Jan
Saudi Medical Journal
Stroke is a leading cause of serious and long-term disability and death worlwide, with approximately 750,000 strokes occuring annually in the United States of America. The risk of stroke doubles each decade for people over 55 years. Cerebral angiography conducted soon after the onset of stroke demonstrates arterial occlusion in 70%-80% of cases. Recanalization of an occluded cerebral artery may assist in the recovery of reversibly ischemic tissue and limit the neurological disability. In June 1996, the recombinant tissue plasminogen activator was approved as a safe and an effective intravenous treatment for acute ischemic stroke, especially if given within 3 …

Effect Of Dietary Zinc Deficiency On Rat Lipid Concentrations, Samir M. Khoja, Zuhair M. Marzouki, Khaled M. Ashry, Sami A. Hamdi
Saudi Medical Journal
OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the lipid profile in serum, liver, and testis of rats fed marginal and severe zinc deficient diets. METHODS: Three groups of rats were treated for 8 weeks with normal diet, marginally zinc deficient diet and severely zinc deficient diet. Lipid concentrations were measured in serum, liver, and testis of these groups. RESULTS: The concentrations of serum lipids were not significantly altered between marginally zinc deficient diet treated and control rats. However, in rats treated with severely zinc deficient diet, the concentrations of serum total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and phospholipids were significantly increased (P < 0.01) and (P < 0.001), whereas the concentration of triacylglycerol was significantly decreased (P < 0.01). However, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration was non-significantly different from controls. The concentrations of liver total cholesterol, triacylglycerol and phospholipids were significantly decreased (P < 0.001) in rats treated with severely zinc deficient diet. The testicular concentration of total cholesterol was increased but this increase was non-significantly different from controls, whereas the testicular concentrations of triacylglycerol and phospholipids were significantly decreased (P < 0.001) in rats treated with severely zinc deficient diet. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that a marginally zinc deficient diet does not play a significant role in altering rat lipid concentrations. However, the changes in serum lipid concentrations could be related to those changes in tissue lipid concentrations.

Histopathological And Immuno-Histochemical Characteristics Of Primary Renal Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor, Fadwa J. Altaf, Ibrahim Mansoor, Awatef A. Jamal
Saudi Medical Journal
We report a 32-year-old male who presented with huge (17x10.5x5 cm) right kidney with metastasis in the liver and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Histological, detailed immunohistochemical studies and electron microscopic examinations were performed. Microscopy revealed small to intermediate sized cells with hyperchromatic nuclei, scanty cytoplasm, abundant mitosis with no pseudorossete formation. Immunohistochemical study revealed positive staining of the tumor cells for S100, neurofilaments, neuron specific enolase, vimentin and myoglobin. Primitive neuroectodermal tumors are rare malignant round cell tumors of the kidney. A correct diagnosis can be made on light microscopic features, and by immunohistochemically positive staining for more than one neural …

Psoas Abscess Presenting With Femoro-Popliteal Vein Thrombosis, Oludare A. Demuren, Mohammed Abomelha
Saudi Medical Journal
Psoas abscess is an uncommon condition with vague clinical presentation. It generally has an insidious onset and before the advent of computed tomography, few cases were reported in the medical literature. We report the case of a middle aged diabetic woman who presented with left leg swelling. Doppler ultrasound revealed thrombosis of the popliteal vein and a collection in the left groin. Computed tomography confirmed the presence of a large left iliopsoas abscess extending to the anterior compartment of the thigh complicated with thrombosis of the superficial femoral and popliteal veins. We suggest that an iliopsoas abscess should be excluded …
