“…On the contrary, the females had lower prevalence because they are more conscious of their appearance and body shapes. This trend is in contrast to studies done in Nigeria [21], [33] and some other parts of the world [34], [35] where prevalence of obesity was reported to be higher in female than male adolescents. Adolescent females in this study had a higher prevalence of overweight than males.…”

Background: Overweight and obesity in adolescence are powerful risk factors of chronic diseases in adulthood. Objective: To determine the prevalence of overweight, obesity and thinness among adolescents in rural and urban areas of Enugu State, Nigeria. Method: A total of 500 adolescents (10-19 years) consisting of 220 males and 280 females were randomly selected from 12 study schools in the State. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on background information of the adolescents. Anthropometric measurements (weight and height) of the adolescents were obtained, and used to calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI). The BMI were categorized into obesity, overweight, normal and thinness using the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) reference and the WHO adult BMI classification for adolescents up to 19 years. The data obtained were coded and analyzed into means, frequencies, percentages and chi-square using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 17. Results: The prevalence of overweight, obesity and thinness among adolescents were 7.5%. 2.1% and 13.9%, respectively. The prevalence of obesity among the adolescents in urban areas was 4.1% while none of the rural adolescents was obese. There was a higher prevalence rate of obesity among males than among females. Conclusion: Obesity is creeping into traditional societies as evident in this study.

“…Several other chromosomal abnormalities are present in BL from EBV-positive children, but their roles are unknown 14,17,18. Endemic BL usually presents in EBV-seropositive children as an extranodal tumor usually involving the jaw and soft tissues of the orbit and abdomen in male children and young adults that reside in high-incidence (malnutrition, EBV and malaria infestation) zones of equatorial Africa and South America (50–100 cases/million/year) 1,2,9,11,12,19. Pediatric and adult sBL cases occur worldwide in countries outside the equatorial zone and commonly present with tumor involvement 9,12,13,19.…”

A case of sporadic Burkitt lymphoma (sBL) presenting with jaw and lid involvement in a diabetic adult African American female and a review of adult orbital Burkitt lymphoma cases are presented. Lid edema, visual loss, ophthalmoparesis, proptosis, and sinusitis progressed over 4 weeks despite antibiotic and steroid treatment. Upper lid biopsy histopathological evaluation and immunophenotyping revealed a homogenous mass of atypical CD10 and CD20-negative B-cells and tingible body macrophages yielding a “starry sky” appearance. Cytogenetic analysis detected a minor variant c-MYC translocation, but no Epstein–Barr virus RNA. Detection of multiple lesions prompted a diagnosis of stage IV disease that totally regressed following radiation and chemotherapy. Review results of the six adult orbital sBL cases support a poor prognosis and a heightened suspicion of variant CD10, CD20 and BCL6 positive sBL in adults presenting with jaw pain and rapidly progressive orbital symptoms, particularly in female, African American, and diabetic patients.

“…The histologic pattern of small lymphoreticular cells combined with large, pale histiocytes has been referred to as 'starry-sky pattern,' which may be apparent on tissue biopsy [15] . The classic BL immunophenotypic profile is positive for the B-cell markers CD10, CD20, CD21 (common to endemic BL), CD79a, BCL-6, and IgM, and negative for CD5, CD23, TdT, and BCL-20 [4,9,16,17] .…”

Recurrent Immunodeficiency-Associated Burkitt Lymphoma Presenting as Severe Anterior Uveitis

2015

Purpose: To report a case of recurrent immunodeficiency-associated Burkitt lymphoma (BL) that initially presented as severe anterior uveitis. Methods: Case report. Results: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of isolated anterior uveitis related to immunodeficiency-associated BL. A 34-year-old African American woman with a history of HIV and BL in remission presented with unilateral anterior uveitis. Histopathologic study of an aqueous humor specimen was consistent for BL. Conclusion: The patient's initial presentation masqueraded as anterior uveitis, but her condition rapidly progressed with significant central nervous system involvement. Ocular involvement of immunodeficiency-associated BL is rare, with isolated anterior uveitis being even rarer. This must be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis for any patient with immunodeficiency, especially with a history of previous BL.
