Infectious sacroiliitis is a rare condition that is sometimes diagnosed late due to the poor specificity of the symptoms. In addition, imaging techniques such as scintigraphy, tomography, and nuclear magnetic resonance are required to assess the extent and severity of the lesions. If early diagnosis and treatment are made, the clinical evolution is satisfactory and leaves no sequelae. Clinical case: the case of an 83-year-old female patient is presented, with a history of ischemic cerebrovascular disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes mellitus and urinary tract infection, who presented with moderately intense colic-like abdominal pain, afebrile, and reported that at the time After getting up from his chair he felt weakness in his left side.

Introduction: Kaposi's sarcoma is a multifocal malignant neoplasm of endothelial cells, its etiological agent is HHV-8 and it constitutes one of the defining pathologies of AIDS. It represents approximately 12% of cancers diagnosed in people living with HIV. Bacillary angiomatosis (AB) is a rare infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Bartonella spp., transmitted by vectors such as fleas, lice, and mosquitoes. In patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection with a CD4+ T-cell count <100 cells/µL, it is associated with angiomatous lesions with neovascularization that involve the skin and, to a lesser extent, mucous membranes, liver, spleen, and bones. Clinical case: the case of a 48-year-old male patient with a history of HIV on HAART for 15 years, who was admitted for an outpatient infectious disease clinic due to violaceous nodular lesions in the right and l...

Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a congenital genetic disorder that causes hypopituitarism, which is characterized by hypoplasia of the adenohypophysis, ectopic neurohypophysis and pituitary stalk interruption. The clinical manifestations are related to varying degrees of pituitary hormone deficiency (panhypopituitarism). The diagnosis is usually made late or goes unnoticed because it depends on the clinical manifestations presented, a fact that is associated with high morbidity and mortality in patients. We present the case of a 19-year-old female patient with a pathological history of nystagmus, toxoplasmosis, stunted growth and delayed pubertal development. She was admitted to the hospital emergency room because she presented with fever, dyspnea, polyarthralgia, headache, vomiting and oral intolerance. During hospitalization, sustained hypoglycemia refractory to the adm...
