RESUMO
Ovarian hyperthecosis has variable clinical importance. It can cause hyperandrogenism, particulary in premenopausal women, and may be a rare cause of androgenic alopecia in postmenopausal women. The physiological level of androgens secreted by ovarian stromal cells is greatly increased with hyperplastic or neoplastic transformation leading to possible clinical consequences. We report a case of postmenopausal ovarian hyperthecosis

Cholera is known to be one of the most infectious diseases and is characterized by profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting and muscular cramps leading to dehydration, collapse and high mortality. Cholera is not endemic in Kuwait. We report a case of a Kuwaiti patient with atypical presentation of cholera that was diagnosed accidently by detection of Vibrio cholera in constipated stool. The patient was given treatment and discharged after clinical and laboratory cure. This patient is considered the first Kuwaiti cholera carrier over last ten years [documented by prevention control department in Kuwait]
