ABSTRACT

Coexistence of acute epiploic appendagitis with acute pyelonephritis is a rare occurrence. Present study report here a case of a 36-year-old male with a past history of appendectomy presenting with complaints of pain abdomen, nausea, increased frequency of micturition and dysuria. On examination, there was tenderness and guarding in the left iliac fossa. CECT abdomen revealed resolving acute epiploic appendagitis with acute pyelonephritis. He was managed conservatively with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents to which he responded. Thus, epiploic appendagitis is a benign self-limiting condition which when diagnosed early prevents unnecessary surgical interventions.

ABSTRACT

Reactive arthritis and erythema nodosum occur in presence of active tubercular infection and both are immunological phenomenon. Author described a case report of a 17year old female with 10months history of symmetrical polyarthritis and presence of healed lesions of erythema nodosum. She was also found to have caseating granulomatous lesion in right supraclavicular lymph node which led us to diagnosis of tuberculous lymphadenitis presenting as reactive polyarthritis (poncet’s disease) and erythema nodosum. Her joint pain and swelling dramatically resolved after 2weeks of ATT. Thus, tuberculosis may manifest as reactive polyarthritis (poncet’s disease) and erythema nodosum and they should be kept in mind even in the absence of other clinical clues of TB, to provide patients with a good clinical outcome.
