Left ventricular dysfunction due to hypocalcemia in a neonate.

Hypocalcemia is a relatively uncommon but reversible cause of left ventricular dysfunction in infants and children. A 30-day-old boy with idiopathic hypocalcemia presented with congestive heart failure and convulsive seizures. He had no evidence of underlying cardiac disease. The cardiac failure responded to calcium therapy. It is suggested that hypocalcemia should be considered as a possible cause of left ventricular dysfunction in infants.

Dilated cardiomyopathy with recurrent intraventricular thrombosis.

Dilated cardiomyopathy with intraventricular thrombosis is a rare disease, most frequently encountered in adults. It rarely occurs in infants. We report here the case of a 2-year-old boy with intraventricular thrombosis due to dilated cardiomyopathy and emphasize the importance of prophylactic anticoagulant therapy in this case.

Henoch-Schonlein nephritis associated with subacute thyroiditis.

We present a 12-year-old boy who developed subacute thyroiditis during the course of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis due to Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) proven by clinical findings and percutaneous renal needle biopsy. The thyroid gland of the patient suddenly enlarged with mild tenderness while he was on steroid and dipyridamole therapy. Thyroid hormone levels revealed T3 0.31 ng/ml (nl: 0.52-1.75 ng ml), T4 2.53 ug/dl (nl: 4.8-12.8 ug/dl), free T3 0.80 pg/ml (nl: 2.14-5.34 pg/ml), free T4 0.2 ng/dl (nl: 0.73-1.95 ng/dl) and TSH 1.02 U/ml (nl: 0.36-3.25 U/ml). Antimicrosomal antibody was negative while antithyroglobulin antibody was slightly positive (1/80+). Hypoactivity with a spotty pattern was demonstrated by thyroid scanning. Serologically proven mumps infection was detected and may have been a triggering factor in the development of both HSP and subacute thyroiditis.
