Heterozygous Hemochromatosis: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

To our knowledge,this is the first report of 31 Y F has no family history and usually,patients do not manifest symptoms if they are heterozygous.Individuals heterozygous for C282Y who have a coexisting insult to the liver,associated with the use of medications,may present with overt manifestations of iron overload.

Acute Dacryoadenitis due to Primary Epstein-Barr Virus Infection

“…Among the causative viral pathogens are EBV, mumps virus, adenovirus, herpes simplex virus, and herpes zoster virus, whereas the main bacterial pathogens that can cause acute dacryoadenitis are Streptococcus pneumoniae , Staphylococcus aureus , Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis [ 14 ]. In contrast, chronic dacryoadenitis is often caused by autoimmune diseases such as Sjögren syndrome, sarcoidosis, and IgG4-related diseases [ 14 ]. EBV is an important causative microorganism for acute viral dacryoadenitis.…”

“…The efficacy of corticosteroids, which are used in some cases, is unknown, and their routine use is not recommended [ 6 ]. In patients failing to exhibit improvement, additional investigation is necessary for other autoimmune diseases, including Sjögren syndrome, IgG4-related diseases, and sarcoidosis, as well as secondary bacterial infections [ 14 ]. In summary, acute dacryoadenitis is a rare ocular manifestation of primary EBV infection.…”

“…Acute dacryoadenitis is a rare ocular complication of EBV infection and can be challenging to differentiate from upper eyelid edema. Acute dacryoadenitis is caused by inflammation of the lacrimal gland, which is located lateral to the extraconal orbital fat [ 14 ]. While the prevalence of acute dacryoadenitis is unknown, it is commonly reported in children and young adults.…”

“…While the prevalence of acute dacryoadenitis is unknown, it is commonly reported in children and young adults. Acute dacryoadenitis is usually associated with infectious diseases, and viruses are the more common causative pathogens compared with bacteria [ 14 ]. EBV is often overlooked as the causative pathogen in acute dacryoadenitis, although it is the most commonly reported etiology [ 4 ].…”

pH regulatory divergent point for the selective bio-oxidation of primary diols during resting cell catalysis

“…Biocatalysis, a promising approach for sustainable development of industry in the future, has applications in various elds, including food, chemical, medicine, environmental protection, and energy [27,28]. Hence, in-depth development and application of biocatalysis for hydroxyl acids production could provide a promising direction for their industrial production.…”
