“…12 Arboviral diseases that are associated with GBS and endemic in Sudan include Chikungunya, CCHF, dengue, yellow fever, and RVF viruses. [27][28][29][30][31][32] Therefore, we have tested the patient for these infections and other infections that associated with GBS development such as HIV, hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Campylobacter jejuni, and they were all negative. [33][34][35][36] In such areas, where multiple infectious diseases are prevalent, it is important to conduct thorough investigations of infections to accurately identify the causative agent and improve the case management of GBS and treating the underlining condition.…”

Key Clinical MessageThis case report highlights the role of Helicobacter pylori infection in the development of GBS. Healthcare providers should consider H. pylori in their differential diagnosis for patients with neurological syndromes.AstractWe report the first known case of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) associated with Helicobacter pylori infection in Sudan. This case highlights the role of H. pylori infection in the development of GBS. It also emphasizes the importance of wide screening of different endemic infections for patients with neurological syndromes for early detection and improves the case management in resource‐limited settings like Sudan. Further research is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms of H. pylori‐inducing neurological disorders.

Key Clinical MessageThis case presents an atypical cystic presentation of mycetoma without sinuses or discharge. Awareness of these variations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and timely intervention, highlighting the need for healthcare professionals to consider diverse manifestations of mycetoma.AbstractMycetoma is a chronic and debilitating infectious disease characterized by localized swellings and granulomatous lesions. It primarily affects individuals in tropical and subtropical regions and is caused by certain fungi or bacteria. While mycetoma typically presents with sinuses and discharge, this case report presents a unique cystic presentation without these features. The patient, a 12‐year‐old female from Sudan, presented with a painless swelling on the dorsum of her right foot. Physical examination revealed a round, non‐tender, and fluctuant mass. Histopathological examination confirmed actinomycetoma caused by Streptomyces somaliensis. The patient was successfully treated with a combination of antibiotherapy. This atypical presentation underscores the need for healthcare professionals to consider uncommon variations of mycetoma for accurate diagnosis and management.

“…This is particularly crucially urgent in countries like Sudan that are endemic with a wide range of zoonotic pandemic-prone diseases such as Chikungunya [15], Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) [16], dengue [17], Yellow fever [18], Rift Valley fever [19], Zika and other arboviruses [20], as well as hepatitis viruses [21], and several bacterial [22], fungal [23,24], and parasitic infections [25][26][27][28]. Furthermore, in Sudan, this challenge is exacerbated by additional factors including the local limited diagnostic capacity, prevalent co-infections, and unusual clinical presentation of diseases [22,[29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

Mpox, formerly known as Monkeypox, is a rare viral disease initially discovered in Africa in 1958. Since its first identification, several outbreaks have occurred in various African nations. Recently, the global community has witnessed a resurgence in the number of Mpox cases reported worldwide, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare the ongoing multi-country outbreak a public health emergency in July 2022. This study reports on the first cases of Mpox detected in Khartoum State, Sudan, outlining the epidemiology, preparedness, and public health response to this new challenge. A total of 55 suspected cases were identified, with two confirmed cases. The clinical manifestations observed in these cases align with the classic skin rash typical of Mpox, presenting alongside symptoms like fever, headache, and joint pain. The findings underscore the need for heightened surveillance, early detection, and timely intervention to prevent the domestic spread of Mpox and its potential impact on public health. Continued global efforts are needed to support effective screening, diagnostic, and control measures, ultimately enhancing preparedness and response in the face of this emerging disease.
