Abstract

Leptospirosis is one of the most important zoonoses worldwide and is a major public health problem in many countries. The disease is caused by spirochetes of the genus Leptospira and is transmitted through contact of abraded skin or mucous membranes with contaminated rodent urine, water, or soil. It is estimated that there are more than one million cases of severe leptospirosis per year worldwide. Leptospirosis can cause severe multiple organ failure with a mortality rate as high as 50%. Early recognition, diagnosis and treatment of leptospirosis can reduce morbidity and mortality. This overview will look out Leptospirosis thoroughly from the epidemiological burden, pathogenesis, clinical presentation and diagnosis, the current treatment and preventive leptospirosis

Abstract

Gout is an inflammatory joint disease caused by an inflammatory response to monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in the joint fluid, cartilage, bones, tendons, bursas, or other sites. High uric acid levels increase the likelihood of gouty arthritis, but not all high uric acid levels will develop into gout. Gout has a predilection for the lower extremities such as the first MTP, which is the most common site of acute gout known as podagra. The etiology of gout is usually multifactorial, including genetic risk factors, medical comorbidities, and dietary factors. gout has now been recognized as a global health problem and has gained attention due to its increasing incidence rate, multiple metabolic comorbidities, and high premature mortality, so patients with gouty arthritis need to be diagnosed and managed appropriately.

Abstract

Hypokalemia occurs when serum potassium levels are lower than normal, it is the most common electrolyte disorder. Especially in hospitalized patients, with a variety of causes and sometimes requiring urgent medical attention. Hypo calcium is usually the result of increased serum potassium excretion or intracellular shift and less commonly due to reduced potassium intake. A 24-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with complaints of weakness in both lower limbs accompanied by nausea and decreased appetite, which had been felt for 2 days before admission. Previous history of the patient had diarrhea for 4 days, with the consistency of liquid stools, not mixed with mucus and blood. In to make a diagnosis and initiate appropriate therapy, a proper history and examination are necessary. Treatment of hypokalemia is not only aimed at supplementing potassium, but also at identifying the cause. Causes include gastrointestinal loss, intracellular shift, renal potassium loss, and inadequate intake
