The article presents two case studies to demonstrate T-cell activation in patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) after receiving amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. It mentions that in the first case drug was stopped and he received supportive therapies, including a short course of corticosteroids, fluid replacement with electrolyte solution and analgesic therapy. The case study points out that SJS requires hospitalization in childhood, and role of pathogens in it remain unidentified.

The aim of this afterword is - interrogatively - to complement and compliment the preceding papers by raising some general questions concerning the relationship between poetry and forgiveness, and to do so through reflection on the work of two authors who wrote well before the period explored by the essays in the collection, yet whose influence extends significantly into it. The paper will reflect, in particular, on the way in which Dante's Purgatorio and Shakespeare's The Tempest foreground the question of forgiveness by calling for the prayers of their audience in ways that coincide with these texts' self-conscious presentation of themselves as literary artifacts. By focusing specifically on the opening of Purgatorio XI and the Epilogue of The Tempest and by suggesting an inextricable connection in these texts between meaning and the recognition of one's shortcomings, I aim to point to the value that certain perspectives on the relationship between poetry and forgiveness might have for our understanding of the meaning of poetry and of the nature of our relationship with it.

In this article I reflect on the importance of creation ex nihilo for our understanding of Dante's Commedia. I do so, in particular, by reflecting on the inextricable relationship existing in Dante's poem between creation ex nihilo, contemplation and charity. More specifically, I attempt to outline an understanding of how Dante's idea of the relationship between these three can be seen to underlie the very structure and narrative form of the Commedia. Through reflection on the relationship between contemplation, charity, and creation ex nihilo, I suggest, form and content might be seen, from a theological point of view, to be perfectly at one. Underlying these reflections are also some broader questions. What is the Commedia ultimately about? What is Dante's final end in writing his poem? What bearing does this have on our understanding of the form of Dante's text as a narrative poem? And what, in turn, are the broader theological implications of all this? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents a case study of a young girl presented with fever and abdominal pain, who demonstrated a peri-appendicular effusion. Clinical intervention resulted to the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease (KD) with normal epi-pericardial effusion and electrocardiography. KD is an acute systemic vasculitis of undetermined etiology and can leading to acquired heart disease in childhood.
