A global increase in the incidence of tuberculosis has prompted the need for earlier diagnosis,
treatment, and isolation of the disease. In tuberculosis, concomitant tuberculous meningitis and vascular
complications such as intracranial aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage are very rare. Because
of the poor prognosis of tuberculous meningitis as well as intracranial aneurysm and subarachnoid
hemorrhage, early diagnosis and management are crucial. We present the case of a 76-year-old woman
who had two intracranial aneurysms complicated by subarachnoid hemorrhage, who had concomitant
tuberculous meningitis. She remained well with medical management.

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality. It is well known that androgen and sex hormone-binding globulin(SHBG) in women were associated with risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as obesity, central fat accumulation and atherogenic lipid profile. High resolution B-mode ultrasonography can visualize directly both luminal and vessel wall characteristics, and ultrasonic measurement of carotid intima-medial thickness(IMT) can be used to investigate the atherosclerosis of coronary, cerebral and peripheral arteries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate(DHEA-S) and SHBG, and body fat distribution pattern, cardiovascular risk factor and carotid atherosclerosis in women. METHODS: Blood pressure, fasting serum glucose, insulin, lipid profile, SHBG and DHEA-S were measured. Body fat distribution pattern was assessed by waist to hip ratio, waist to thigh ratio and subscapular to triceps skin fold thickness ratio, faf mass measured by bioelectric impedance analyzer, subcutaneous fat area, visceral fat area, and visceral to subcutaneous fat area ratio(VSR) at the level of umbilicus using the computed tomography. The IMT of the carotid artery was measured by high resolution B mode ultrasound as a marker of atherosclerosis. RESULTS: 1) There was no significant difference of age-adjusted values of carotid IMT among subjects with NGT(0.426+/-0.09mm), IGT(0.46+/-10.09mm) and NIDDM(0.453+/-0.11mm). 2) In postrnenopausal women, carotid IMT was greater(0.484+/-0.11mm, p=0.05) than premenopausal women(0.426+/-0.08mm), but it was not significant after age adjustment. Serum SHBG and DHEA-S levels in postmenopausal women were significantly lower(p<0.05) than premenopausal women, but they were not significant after age adjustment. 3) Carotid IMT was significantly correlated with age(r=0.37, p<0.01), fasting serum glucose (r=0.32, p<0.01), total cholesterol(r= 0.25, p<0.05), LDL-cholesterol(r=0.26, p<0.05), visceral fat area(r=0.35, p<0.01) and VSR(r=0.31, p<0.05). 4) By the stepwise multiple regression analysis, carotid IMT was positively and significantly associated with age(p<0.01) and serum DHEA-S concentration(p<0.05) in dent of age, body mass index, waist to hip ratio, fasting serum glucose. CONCLUSION: Carotid IMT was associated with age and serum DHEA-S concentration in women without cardiovascular disease. Therefore, serum DHEA-S may be one of risk factors for cardiovascular disease in women. However, we could not conclude its cause-result relationship because of cross sectional nature of our study, and prospective study will be needed.

BACKGROUND: The cornified cell envelope (CE) is a unique structure found in the terminal differentiation of the skin. The precursor proteins of the CE are composed of many candidate structural proteins, among which invalucrin and filaggrin are important ones to participate in the complicated process of forming, the complex structure. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of expression of involucrin and filaggrin as markers of terminal differentiation in various skin disorders including tumors. METHODS: Immunohistochemical studies were performed in the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded skin samples of non-tumors (41 cases) and tumors (43 cases).

Multiple dermatofibromas have been reported in patients with various autoimmune disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus in receiving immunosuppressive therapy. We report a case of systemic lupus erythematosus in a 30-year-old woman who developed 23 dermatofibromas while she was treated with systemic corticosteroid. The mechanism for the development of multiple dermatofibromas in the setting of immune disturbance remains unclear. The altered immune system may play a role in the pathogenesis of this cutaneous condition.

Viru-Merz® ointment,1% tromantadine hydrochloride, is a topical antiviral agent used for recurrent herpes simplex. There are many reported cases of contact dermatitis by tromantadine.But erythema multiforme-like eruptions in association with Viru-Merz® Ointment has not been reported. A 31-year-old woman, who applied Viru-Merz® ointment for a recurrent herpes simplex labialis, developed an allergic contact dermatitis. Erythema multiforme like eruptions with typical target feature followed around the eczematous lesions on the face, and spread progressively on the neck and trunk. A patch test revealed positive reaction to Viru-Merz® ointment.
