Nonfamilial Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis and Thyrotoxicosis in a 16-Year-Old Male

Abstract

varicella vaccine may be highly indicated for children who are known to have genital warts. Alternatively, in theory, the varicella vaccine itself could have an adverse effect on the clinical course of HPV. The use of varicella vaccine in children with HPV infection deserves more study.There are many questions about HPV infections that cause genital condyloma acuminata in children. The epidemiology and natural history is perplexing in adults and children. More clinical studies and basic research are needed to provide a more comprehensive knowledge of the problem.

A case of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis as initial manifestation of Graves' disease in a 16-year-old Korean adolescent

“…Regarding age, TPP is most prevalent in 20-40 years old, and is a very rare in children and adolescents. There are only few reported cases in pediatric patients 5 , 6 , 7 , 8) , even in Asian populations, and the exact incidence in the pediatric population has yet to be established. Our presenting case may be the third reported case of a pediatric Korean TPP patient as far as we know.…”

Manifestation, Management and Molecular Analysis of Candidate Genes in Two Rare Cases of Thyrotoxic Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis

“…The first case, a 15-year-old Vietnamese immigrant, is the second youngest THypoKPP case documented in the literature. Data regarding manifestation and management of pediatric patients is scarce, as there are only two previously documented cases; a 14-year-old [17] and a 16-year-old [18] Chinese boy. The usual age at onset of THypoKPP is similar to that of thyrotoxicosis, with the second to fourth decades being the most common [1].…”

Thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis in a Turkish patient presenting with a U wave on ECG

“…1 Most HPP cases are hereditary since the disease is autosomal dominant. However, some patients who develop HPP secondary to thyrotoxicosis are also described.…”
