Abstract:

Altered sensorium is a frequent presentation in emergency department, but the exact etiology of many altered sensorium patients is unknown. Patients present with vague symptoms, thus altered sensorium diagnosis and treatment are highly challenging for emergency physicians. The aim of this study is to provide a framework for the assessment of altered sensorium patients. This assessment should allow providers to better understand the etiology of mental status changes and therefore improve diagnostic skills and management. This is a retrospective record based study. The research duration was from

Abstract:

Pitutary macroadenoma and microadenoma has their own clinical presentations. These conditions are not very common and they may present with varied symptoms to the ED. There are instances when these conditions are incidentally detected by emergency radiological investigations. However in most of the instances the patient may present with vague complaints like dizziness and headache and in some rare instances the patient may resent with poor GCS. The cause may be attributed to the raised ICP due to growing adenoma or sometimes due to other effects.

Background: Cerebral malaria is a serious and potentially fatal complication of malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum parasites. Symptoms may include an unarousable coma lasting for at least 30 min, seizures, altered sensorium, and fever. Diagnosis is made through a combination of clinical and laboratory findings, including the identification of parasites in blood smears or rapid diagnostic tests. Treatment involves prompt use of antimalarial drugs and supportive care. Severe cases of malaria can lead to complications such as cerebral malaria, severe anemia, and organ failure. Aim and Object

This is a case report of an 11-year-old male who presented with neuropsychiatric symptoms, altered sensorium and high-grade fever which evolved into refractory status epilepticus and autonomic dysfunction.

Abstract:

Introduction. Thrombocytopenia is frequently noticed withP. falciparummalaria but is less reported and studied withP. vivax.Materials and Methods. The study was conducted in the Department of Medicine, SBKS MI & RC, Pipariya. We included patients who were diagnosed with vivax malaria. The data regarding their clinical and hematological profile was collected and analysed.Result. A total of 66 patients were included. 42 (63%) had platelet count <100000/mm3. Mean platelet count was 1,18,650, range being 8000/mm3–6,10,000/mm3. Amongst those with thrombocytopenia, 16 (38.09%) had anemia, 14

Abstract:

Altered sensorium or altered level of consciousness is a common complaint among electrolyte abnormality patients and has several synonyms like altered behaviour, generalized weakness, lethargy, agitation, psychosis, disorientation, inappropriate behaviour, inattention, confusion, hallucination. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and to assess the level of consciousness dysnatremic patients at a tertiary care hospital. A prospective observational study, serum sodium level and other clinical profiles were recorded in a data collection form. GCS was used to analyses the level of

Abstract:

We describe a 74-year-old man with purpura fulminans and altered sensorium following an acute febrile illness. Intensive sepsis management was to no avail, until institution of doxycycline therapy following confirmation of scrub typhus. Empirical doxycycline needs to be considered in endemic areas for patients presenting with purpura fulminans.

Abstract:

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is an uncommon neurological entity which presents with diverse neurological symptoms ranging from headache, seizure, visual symptoms with altered consciousness and focal signs. The hallmark of this condition is its reversibility. The etiopathogenesis is attributed to vasogenic cerebral oedema seen in occipital and parietal lobes of brain. We hereby present this case of a multiparous lady presenting with altered sensorium postpartum. Characteristic findings on imaging helped us to form the diagnosis of PRES in this patient.

Abstract:

Background: Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) is defined as a person of any age group, at any time of the year with the acute onset of fever and change in mental sensorium (including confusion, disorientation, coma or inability to talk) and/or new onset of convulsions (excluding febrile seizures). Encephalitis is a inflammation of brain tissue which presents as a diffuse and/or a focal neuropsychological dysfunction and inflammation of adjacent meningitis. Objectives were to determine clinicoepidemiological profile in AES with special to reference cerebral malaria and to study various MRI find

Abstract:

Dengue fever is one of the common viral infections in tropical areas, especially in India. Though classically non-neurotropic in nature, recent literature has documented dengue viral neurotropism, suggesting possible elements of direct encephalitis. However, limited reports are available in paediatric age groups. Here we report a case of dengue encephalitis in a 3-year 6 months-old male child from Imphal, Manipur, India who presented with a history of fever, altered sensorium, and seizures. The anti-dengue immunoglobulin M antibodies were positive in serum. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed
