Severe Hyponatremia in the Setting of COVID-19-Associated Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone: A Case Report.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant worldwide morbidity and mortality. One of the less studied clinical manifestations is Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH) associated with COVID-19 pneumonia. We present a single case of COVID-19 pneumonia-associated SIADH in a 71-year-old male with a history of alcohol use disorder.

Anuric Acute Kidney Injury Due to Infection-related Glomerulonephritis Secondary to Foot Osteomyelitis.

We report the case of a 76-year-old male who developed anuric acute kidney injury from infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) secondary to foot osteomyelitis, confirmed via renal biopsy. The patient initially presented with wound dehiscence of the left foot following transmetatarsal amputation and Lisfranc operation in the setting of osteomyelitis. Hospitalization was complicated by worsening acute kidney injury requiring the initiation of hemodialysis.

Staphylococcus caprae: A Skin Commensal with Pathogenic Potential.

Staphylococcus caprae (S. caprae) is a catalase-positive, coagulase-negative organism that was first isolated from goat milk, and was later found to colonize healthy human skin, nails, and nasal mucosa. Rarely, this commensal organism can become pathogenic in humans.
