Disseminated Tuberculosis Presenting as Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an immune dysregulation syndrome which is characterized by widespread but ineffective activation of immune system of our body. This activation leads to release of a large pool of cytokines from the activated lymphocytes and macrophages. This hypercytokinemia leads to the development of characteristic features of HLH such as fever, cytopenias, hepatosp...

Disseminated Tuberculosis Presenting as Baker's Cyst Infection

In the absence of coexisting immunocompromised state and lack of specific symptoms a reactivation of treated mycobacterial tuberculosis (MTB) infection is generally not considered in the differential diagnosis of leg pain. We present a unique case of disseminated tuberculosis presenting as an infected Baker's cyst in a 73-year-old immunocompetent male.

Fibrillary glomerulonephritis: presenting as crescentic glomerulonephritis causing rapidly progressive renal failure

We report an unusual case of fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) presenting as rapidly progressive renal failure and extensive crescent formation along with linear staining of capillary walls of the glomeruli on immunofluorescence, mimicking anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibody-mediated disease. Laboratory results for circulating anti-GBM antibodies were negative. The subsequen...
