    Is benzathine penicillin the treatment of choice in neurosyphilis?
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2023) Gözdaş, Hasan Tahsin; Doğan, Ahmet
    Weread the case report by Yousefian et al1 with great interest. Their case was a 20-year-old man who was diagnosed with granulomatous secondary syphilis. We think that there is a questionable point in this article.

    Lupus Erythematosus Panniculitis: A Rare Case Report
    (Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2023) Ali, Ahmed Mohamed; Doğan, Ahmet; Ali, Mukhtar Abdullahi; Aden, Abdısalam Ibrahım
    An uncommon variation of lupus erythematosus is lupus panniculitis. İt can exist on its own or in conjunction with discoid or systemic lupus erythematosus. Persistent, sensitive, and hard nodules that are localized on the face, arms, shoulders, breast, and buttocks are its defining features. Scarring, lipoatrophy, and ulceration are occasionally associated with the healing of lesions. We are reporting the first case of lupus erythematosus panniculitis from Somalia. A 60-year-old male patient visited our polyclinic with an upper back nodule and a left upper ulcerated lesion that had been present for four months. © 2023 Ali et al.

    Management of complicated infective endocarditis
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Gözdaş, Hasan Tahsin; Doğan, Ahmet; Ali, Ahmed M.
    We read with great interest the case report of Lamichhane et al.[1] recently published in the Annals of Medicine & Surgery. They reported a case of blood culture-negative infective endocarditis complicated by multiple organ abscesses (in the brain, spleen, and liver) and lumbar vertebral discitis. We have some criticisms regarding the management of this interesting case. Considering the duration of symptoms and the most common aetiological agent of multiple organ abscesses and vertebral discitis, their patient probably suffered from acute infective endocarditis caused by Staphylococcus aureus[2,3]. No growth was detected in blood cultures. However, we believe that abscess culture either from the brain, spleen, or liver could be helpful to demonstrate the causative pathogen.

    Seroprevalence of hepatitis C, hepatitis B, hiv and syphilis among blood donors at a tertiary care hospital in Mogadishu-Somalia in 2020–2022: a retrospective study
    (BioMed Central Ltd, 2024) Doğan, Serpil; Mohamud, Said Mohamed; Ali, Ahmed Mohamed; Orhan, Zerife; Doğan, Ahmet; Mohamud, Rahma Yusuf Haji
    Background: The safety of blood donation requires screening for transfusion-transmitted infections, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), syphilis, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV and syphilis in blood donors of Mogadishu Tertiary Care Hospital, Somalia from 2020 to 2022. Methods: The records of 109,385 blood donors who attended our blood center in Mogadishu-Somalia between 2020 and 2022 were examined retrospectively. Serum samples of donors; HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV and syphilisscreening tests were studied using the microparticleEnzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA)(Vitros, Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, U.S) method.The distribution of HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV and syphilis positivity rates of 109,385 blood donors according to years, gender and age were examined. Kolmogorov Smirnov, Skewness, Kurtosis tests and histogram were used for normality analysis. Chi-squared test (?2) and Fisher Exact test were used to analyze categorical data. Categorical variables were expressed as frequency (percentage). Analysis of continuous data was performed with the Mann Whitney U test. P < 0.05 value was considered statistically significant. Results: HBsAg positivity was found in 0.6% of the donors, anti-HCV positivity in 0.01%, anti-HIV positivity in 0.03% and syphilispositivity in 0.3%. The results showed that among the blood donors, the prevalence of syphilis, HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis Cwas notably low. Conclusion: The prevalence of HBV, HCV, HIV, and syphilis among blood donors in Somalia was found to be quite low. Even if our found seroprevalence rates are low, to guarantee the safety of blood for recipients, strict selection of blood donors and thorough screening of donors’ blood using accepted procedures are strongly advised. © The Author(s) 2024.

    Was it really culture-negative infective endocarditis?
    (Elsevier, 2023) Gözdaş, Hasan Tahsin; Doğan, Ahmet
    To the Editor: We read the case report by Alabdaljabar et al1 with great interest. Their case was a 20-year-old previously healthy man who was diagnosed with multiple intramuscular abscesses and culture-negative infective endocarditis. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was isolated from his abscesses, whereas blood cultures yielded no growth.
