Abstract

Background: Fungating scrotal mass and lower motor neuron facial nerve palsy (LMN-FNP) are unusual traits of testicular cancer. A 49-year-old farmer with recurrent right hemi-scrotal swelling that expeditiously grew to involve the whole scrotum. He had a nick on the swelling and the resultant ulcer extended rapidly over the mass and right groin. There were associated penile deformity and right lower leg swelling. The angle of his mouth became inclined to the left side with inability to close the right eye. He had right orchidectomy five years earlier for right testicular mass through the scrotal approach but no histology was done. On examination, he had a huge fungating scrotal mass that extends to the right groin with saxophone penile deformity. There were multiple left inguinal lymphadenopathies with right pedal oedema. There was grade III right LMN-FNP, tympanometry showed an absent acoustic reflex and pure tone audiometry revealed right sensorineural hearing loss. Computerized tomography (CT) scan of the abdominopelvic and temporomastoid regions showed metastatic deposits in the retroperitoneal group of lymph nodes and fallopian canal respectively. The patient was optimized and commenced on cytotoxic chemotherapy but five days after completing the first course he developed sudden inability to swallow, lapsed into unconsciousness and ceased breathing despite resuscitation effort. Conclusion: Fungating scrotal mass and facial nerve palsy from an advanced testicular germ cell tumour are unusual. Therefore, a high index of suspicion is essential for the diagnosis of testicular tumour secondaries as the cause of facial nerves palsy and the tumour invasion the cause of the fungating mass. It has a negative impact on patient's body image plus the quality of life and probably presaged poor outcome

Abstract

BackgroundMalaria transmission affects malaria infection rates. There are several potential drivers of malaria transmission. A suitable meteorological factor such as rainfall, temperature, and relative humidity encourages the breeding of the vector. This improves the survival of the parasite in the host. The female Plasmodium falciparum plays a crucial role in the variability of malaria prevalence. Lagos State is a coastal malaria-endemic area in Nigeria. This study presents a correlation analysis of malaria cases and meteorological factors between the periods of January 2015 to April 2018 in Lagos state.MethodsThe study was a secondary data analysis of meteorological variables and records of malaria cases reported by health facilities in Lagos state. We accessed weather variables through free access “weather underground.com” a meteorological data sharing service system (MDSSS). The MDSSS provides real-time online weather information from four meteorological monitoring stations in Lagos state. We accessed the malaria cases through the district health information system 2 databases. It is used to report cases of malaria by all the private and public health facilities in the state. We performed the correlation analyses to show the relationship between temperature, humidity, rainfall, and malaria cases at a 5% level of significance. We analysed data using the statistical package for social sciences version 25.ResultsMalaria cases peaked between the period of July to November 2016 and the period of April to May 2017 and declined between March to May 2017. The temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall showed a positive correlation with malaria cases. The temperature is most correlated with the occurrence of malaria cases (r = 0.65, p< 0.02).ConclusionThis correlation analysis provides an approach for studying the impact of meteorological variability on the prevalence of malaria cases. This can help to forecast the malaria epidemic while preparing for the elimination of malaria in Lagos state.
