Chylothorax is an accumulation of lymphatic fluid or chyle in the pleurual cavity resulting from a leak of the thoracic duct or one of its major divisions. If the loss of chyle persist, life threatening nutritional and immunologic deficiencies ensue.

Movement disorders(chorea, athetosis, ballism) are a rare complication that develops during the course of bacterial meningitis although associations with tuberculous meningitis are established to some extent. Movement disorders are generally believed to reflect injury to the basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellum and cerebral cortex. Ischemic infarctions of these areas have been proposed as the cause of dyskinesias in bacterial meningitis. We... |

Type IV renal tubular acidosis(RTA) is due to renal tubular bicarbonate wasting
associated with mineralocorticoid deficiency. In its five subtypes, IV-4 is due to
pseudohypoaldosteronism(PHA) evidenced by increased plasma renin and aldosterone.
PHA is believed to result from distal tubular unresponsiveness to circulating aldosterone
and has normal renal and adrenal fuction.
Hypoaldosteronism can easily be suspected when the patient shows typical electrolyte
imbalance (hyponatremia coupled with... |

Atypical Kawasaki disease is coined to describe patients who have coronary abnormalities,... |
