Publication Anesthetic Management of a Patient with Myasthenia Gravis for Meningioma Surgery - A Case Report(Kathmandu University, 2015) Srivastava, VK; Agrawal, S; Ahmed, M; Sharma, SABSTRACT Myasthenia gravis is a disease of great challenge to the anesthesiologist, because it affects the neuromuscular junction. Anesthetic management involves either muscle relaxant or non-muscle relaxant techniques. This case report documents the safe use of fentanyl, propofol and sevoflurane combination guided by bispectral index, without the use of muscle relaxants in a patient with myasthenia gravis who presented for meningioma surgery. KEY WORDS Fentanyl, myasthenia gravis, propofol, sevofluranePublication Atopic Dermatitis or Hyper IgE Syndrome?(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2015) Ahmed, M; Kumar, A; Raj, DAbstract: Eczema and skin infections are commonly encountered in children in the outpatient department. However, presence of both recurrent dermatitis and skin infections should alarm one to consider Hyper IgE syndrome (HIES) as a differential. Here we present a case of HIES in a two and a half year old female child with history of recurrent dermatitis and skin infections in the form of cold abscesses. Laboratory investigations showed markedly elevated IgE levels and high absolute eosinophils counts. Patient was treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and supportive care. The current report highlights the fact that HIES can present in early childhood with just skin manifestations and without any significant pulmonary manifestations.
