Acute abdomen due to acute pancreatitis--a rare presentation of leptospirosis.

Even though, Leptospiral infection is not uncommon, it can have different rare presentations. Acute pancreatitis is one such rare gastrointestinal manifestation of acute pancreatitis. Apart from the typical clinical features; elevated serum lipase or elastase-1, along with radiological evidence and positive leptospiral serology confirms this rare association.

Secondary Sjogren's syndrome and scleroderma presenting as renal tubular acidosis.

We report a case of distal renal tubular acidosis in a twenty year old female patient of scleroderma and secondary Sjogren's syndrome. This patient presented with two episodes of flaccid quadriparesis which were associated with hypokalaemia and was later found to have an underlying scleroderma with secondary Sjogren's syndrome.
