Forty-six cases of thyrotoxicosis, 8 males and 38 females, were seen over a period of two years from March 1979. There were 19 cases of toxic multinodular goitre, 22 of Graves' disease, four of toxic adenoma and one of subacute thyroiditis. The median age of those with toxic multinodular goitre was 49 and of those with Graves' disease was 30 years. The five most common symptoms were sweating/heat intolerance (82.6%), weight loss (82.6%), palpitations (82.6%), nervousness and irritability (73.9%) and insomnia (69.6%). Six of 24 non-pregnant females of child-bearing age had menstrual disturbances. The five most common signs were goitre (97.8%), tachycardia (100.0%), sweating (84.7%), and fine finger and tongue tremors (89.1%). Among the 22 cases of Graves' disease, 13 (59.1%) had exophthalmos and 4 (18.2%) had pretibial myxoedema. Treatment with propylthiouracil or carbimazole was effective in controlling the thyrotoxicosis. Granulocytopenia developed in two cases and skin allergy in one other, necessitating use of alternative treatment. Seven cases had subtotal thyroidectomy after preparation with antithyroid drugs or propranolol and Lugol's iodine.

The aim of this study was to present three cystoisosporiasis cases diagnosed in pediatric patients of the Yuzuncu Yil University Medical Faculty. In the study, stool samples of the patients were evaluated by native-Lugol and modified acid-fast staining methods in the Parasitology Laboratory. The first case was a 4-year-old male child diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It was reported that the patient had abdominal pain, and permanent bloody and mucous diarrhea (8-10 times a day) was present for almost 1 week after the beginning of ALL treatment. The second case was a 10-year-old boy diagnosed with depression. The patient was brought to our hospital by his parents with complaints of abdominal pain, diarrhea, lack of appetite, weight loss, and fatigue persisting since 1 month in addition to headache, fear, sleeplessness, and waking up with cry. The third case was a 13-year-old boy who complained of abdominal pain, diarrhea (rare occasions), lack of appetite, and headache for 2 months. These patients had not traveled abroad. The cases were treated successfully with co-trimoxazole. Our results suggest that all patient groups with diarrhea and abdominal pain should also be considered in cystoisosporiasis.
