1. Eye
2. Pinna
3. Nose
4. Cartilage

πŸ“ Explanation:

Ochronosis, the deposition of homogentisic acid (HGA) in connective tissues, is a characteristic feature of alkaptonuria.


This deposition commonly affects various cartilaginous structures, including the pinna (outer ear), the nasal cartilage, and other cartilaginous sites throughout the body, leading to joint pain and arthritis. 

Deposition is also seen in the eye, specifically in the sclera and cornea.

A 45-year-old chronic alcoholic patient presented with complaints of altered consciousness and confusion. He was administered i.v. 5% glucose and suddenly developed Wernicke’s encephalopathy. Emergent treatment to be administered is
1. i.v folic acid
2. i.v 5% Dextrose
3. i.v vitamin B1 
4. i.v Normal Saline

πŸ“ Explanation:

Wernicke's encephalopathy is a serious neurological disorder caused by thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency. The condition is often associated with chronic alcoholism, which impairs thiamine intake and absorption. 

Administering glucose (dextrose) to a thiamine-deficient patient can precipitate or worsen Wernicke's encephalopathy because glucose metabolism consumes thiamine, increasing the demand for the already deficient vitamin. Therefore, the emergent treatment is to administer intravenous vitamin B1 to correct the deficiency.
