A rare association of dengue meningitis with Plasmodium vivax malaria

Neurological manifestations in dengue are now well known. Encephalitis is the most common manifestation, but meningitis is a rare phenomenon. We described a 10-year-old child who did not have typical features of dengue and presented with meningeal signs at the end of 2nd week of fever along with raised intracranial tension. Repeat fever work up in view of persisting fever spikes was suggestive of malaria coinfection. The association of dengue and malaria is not an uncommon entity; although both diseases are transmitted by a different type of arthropod vectors

Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis presenting as congestive cardiac failure - A case report

Infantile hepatic hemangioma has substantial arteriovenous shunting which may lead to cardiovascular compromise and hydrops fetalis. It may present as hepatomegaly since the entire liver is involved in most cases. As mortality is very high, a high index of suspicion is required to make a diagnosis and common complications arising out it, especially in the presence of cutaneous hemangioma. We present a 2-month-old baby born at term presented with features suggestive of sepsis with multiple cutaneous hemangiomas, and on evaluation, there was congestive cardiac failure, which was initially thought of cardiac origin but subsequently came out to be arteriovenous shunting of blood in liver
