A 31 year-old man ingested 10 mL of a photographic toning solution containing 600 mg of potassium chloroplatinite in a suicide attempt. Subsequent toxic effects included acute oliguric renal failure, metabolic acidosis, fever, muscle cramps, gastroenteritis and rhabdomyolysis. Laboratory abnormalities included mildly elevated liver enzymes and elevated peripheral blood neutrophil and eosinophil counts. All symptoms and signs of toxicity resolved over a six day hospital stay with supportive medical management only; thereafter he was lost to medical follow-up. A spot serum platinum concentration was 245 mcg/dL and a spot urine platinum concentration was 4200 mcg/L.

384 stool samples from patients with acute gastroenteritis were processed by standard culture techniques and antibiogram of V. cholerae was performed. Stool samples from 93 (24.22%) patients yielded V. cholerae, 58 (62.37%) of which were V. cholerae, El Tor O1 Ogawa, 31 (33.33%) V. cholerae O139 and 4 (4.30%) V. cholerae non O1 non O139. Of the culture proven cholera cases watery diarrhoea was observed in 79 (84.95%), vomiting in 57(61.29%), muscle cramps in 21 (22.58%) and sweating in 18 (19.35%). Majority of these patients presented with moderate dehydration 57 (61.29%). Mild dehydration was found in 19 (20.43%) and severe dehydration in 17 (18.28%). While majority of patients with O139 infection had mild to moderate dehydration 25 (80.65%), severe dehydration was more common with O1 infection 11 (64.71%). This study reflects the importance of monitoring the V. cholerae by serogrouping, antibiogram typing, which keep on varying constantly.

In this paper, we present two women with hypokalaemic rhabdomyolysis in the context of increased diuretic intake and gastroenteritis, respectively. While their clinical manifestations and laboratory results were strikingly similar, two different underlying disorders were subsequently unveiled. The first patient was diagnosed with Conn syndrome, and adrenalectomy led to significant improvement of hypertension and sustained normokalaemia. The diagnosis in the second patient was Gitelman syndrome. Electrolyte supplements improved long-term lassitude and the frequency of muscle cramps declined significantly. These case vignettes illustrate the importance of establishing the underlying cause of hypokalaemia.
