- Weakness
If the hypoplastic left heart syndrome defect is very complex, or the heart becomes weak after the surgeries, a heart transplant may be needed. [cdc.gov]
If the condition is not treated within three days of symptom onset, it can result in deafness and permanent weakness in the facial muscles, according to the Mayo Clinic. [advisory.com]
Symptoms and duration of persistence are illustrated by differently shaded blue bars Full size image On arrival, the patient complained of a mild headache, general weakness and persisting skin flushing. [aidsrestherapy.biomedcentral.com]
- Swelling
This causes symptoms that range from redness and swelling to problems walking. Some drugs are more likely to cause hand-foot syndrome than others. [cancer.net]
Gastrointestinal
- Nausea

In rare cases, an individual may also experience amplified hearing, vertigo, nausea, loss of taste, dry mouth, or dry eyes. [advisory.com]
During the following days, he developed rash, vertigo and nausea, culminating in a single syncopal episode 8 days after the vaccination, as shown in Fig. 1. [aidsrestherapy.biomedcentral.com]
- Vomiting
The fever episodes are typically accompanied by poor feeding, vomiting, and diarrhea, and can lead to hospitalization. [medlineplus.gov]
Gastrointestinal Manifestations Vomiting, diarrhoea and hepatic disease diseases were described in 38/58 (65%) patients, especially during fever episodes and 5 experienced an exocrine pancreatic insufficiency [1,2,3,4,5, 8,9,10, 14,15,16,17,18,19, 23, [link.springer.com]

Cutaneous Manifestations Skin abnormalities were reported in 29/58 SIFD population (49%) mainly brittle hair or ichthyotic skin, panniculitis, erythema nodosum, morfea and aspecific rash [1,2,3,4,5, 7, 9, 11,12,13,14, 17,18,19, 21,22,23,24,25, 27,28,29 [link.springer.com]

Treatment
A rapid resolution of fever episodes and infections occurred after initiation of this treatment regimen. Afterward, both anemia and growth parameters have improved during follow-up. [liebertpub.com]
Treatment Treatment Options: Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in one patient reversed the hematologic and immunologic anomalies although retinitis subsequently developed. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Avoid activities that cause force or rubbing on the hands or feet during the first 6 weeks of treatment. This includes jogging, aerobics, and racquet sports. [cancer.net]
What is the treatment for IT band syndrome? The key treatment for IT band syndrome is to rest from the activity that is causing the pain. [hss.edu]
It's important to continue treatment, even if you're affected by side effects, as it will take several weeks before you begin to benefit from treatment. [nhs.uk]
Prognosis
Prognosis is universally poor, with significant morbidity in survivors.5 Recognised aetiologies include congenital malformations, chromosomal abnormalities (eg, Turner’s syndrome), intrauterine infection (eg, cytomegalovirus), rhesus disease, severe anaemia [jcp.bmj.com]
Early diagnosis and initiation of antiretroviral therapy is associated with better prognosis and limits transmission of the disease. [aidsrestherapy.biomedcentral.com]
Prognosis is poor and treatment is supportive, thus the development of new models for the study of Pearson syndrome and new therapy strategies is essential. [unboundmedicine.com]
Etiology
The molecular etiology is under investigation. Figures Figure 1 Pedigree for cases 1 and 2 with descriptions of phenotypes displayed. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
Furthermore, the increased knowledge about its pathophysiology is opening the route to new possible treatments. [link.springer.com]
The underlying pathophysiology is complex and remains poorly understood, but includes impaired lymphatic function, difficulty maintaining venous return, osmotic pressure and arterial pressures, and inadequate systemic perfusion leading to hypoxic injury [jcp.bmj.com]
