Introduction: Spontaneous bladder rupture is a rare manifestation of hyporeflexic bladder due to HAM/TSP (human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV1) associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis). Case Presentation: We report a case of spontaneous bladder rupture in a 62-year-old woman with a HTLV1 infection. Discussion: Bladder over-distention and spontaneous bladder rupture, although very rare in HAM/TSP, should be considered in a differential diagnosis of bladder rupture, especially in patients with a history of HTLV1.
Introduction: Post-vaccination encephalomyelitis is an inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system. It is triggered by certain vaccines. The diagnosis of post-vaccination encephalomyelitis depends on the close temporal relationship between vaccination and clinical presentation. Case Presentation: We describe a 30-year-old man with post-vaccination encephalomyelitis following Mencevax ACWY meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine. Encephalomyelitis is a very rare side effect of this vaccine. Conclusions: Post-vaccination encephalomyelitis is a very rare side effect of Mencevax ACWY.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
