Fourteen cases have been reported in the literature to date.The rarity of these cases and the importance of making an early diagnosis so that proper treatment may be instituted and chronic morbidity, as well as medicolegal aspects, avoided prompt us to report an additional case.CASE REPORTA 68-year-old carpenter was admitted because of fever, increasing weakness, anorexia, and diarrhea. Physical examination revealed an acutely ill man who looked younger than his years. He was very pale. Blood pressure was...References1.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
