Despite the aforementioned efforts to encourage earlier and more frequent HIV testing and targeting at-risk populations, late presentation (presentation with low CD4 count) is unfortunately not a rarity.
In view of patient and siblings clinical presentation with low serum cortisol and high ACTH level with normal plasma renin activity, biopsy proven FSGS in both of them and consanguineous marriages, diagnosis of familial glucocorticoid deficiency associated with familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis has been made.
For patients with posterior uveitis maintenance of quiescence of any active choroidal, retinal, or vascular lesions noted at presentation with low-dose oral corticosteroid (< 10 mg daily) therapy after an initial pulse and taper was considered improvement.
At presentation, patients with low GFR at the time of HDM had higher serum creatinine, β2M, stage III disease, calcium and Bence Jones proteinuria.
The clinical presentation with acute low back or flank pain and haematuria is readily misleading and suggests renal colic.
Presentation is usually with low back pain.
Our study confirmed, as previously demonstrated, that a HR less than 110 bpm at SS presentation is associated with low mortality, as well a higher level of MAP.
Overall, these findings suggest that the clinical presentation of children with low insight is distinct than from those with high insight, with increased disease severity, symptom severity, and the presence of comorbid conditions, particularly depression in patients with low insight.
Other studies in Africa have shown a relationship between late presentation of POAG with low levels of education and low socioeconomic status, [ 21] but these factors were not independent risk factors in our study.
Second, among the considered social tracts, low level of education and unemployment were independent predictors of long-term risk of hospital admission for mental disorders, possibly due to the treatment delay, and then to the greater severity of illness at presentation, among people with low socioeconomic status.
