Clostridium ramosum Bacteremia With Mesenteric Ischemia Secondary to Superior and Inferior Mesenteric Arteries Occlusion.

Clostridium ramosum, despite being a common enteric bacterium, is not commonly identified as the cause of pathologic infections in humans. It was first identified by Veillion and Zuber in 1898 from a patient with pulmonary gangrene and appendicitis.

COVID-19 and Adenovirus Multi-Lobar Pneumonia on CT Scan in a Patient with Repeatedly Normal Chest X-Rays Despite Severe Hypoxia and the Need for Non-Invasive Ventilation.

The British Society of Thoracic Imaging (BSTI) has published clear guidance on the classification of chest X-ray (CXR) findings in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, which are summarised in four main categories: COVID-classical, COVID-indeterminate, COVID-normal, or non-COVID. We report the case of a 34-year-old lady who is otherwise fit and well. She presented with typical COVID-19 symptoms requiring supplemental oxygen, with normal CXR and COVID-19 reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) swab on admission.

Recurrent Stroke Events Secondary to a Late Presentation of Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy With Lactic Acidosis and Stroke-Like Symptoms (MELAS) Syndrome.

Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like symptoms (MELAS) is a rare mitochondrial disorder that typically presents before the age of 40 with most patients diagnosed before the age of 20. Symptoms and signs typically include mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy with stroke-like episodes, seizures and/or dementia, and lactic acidosis. We present a case of a 56-year-old lady presenting with recurrent ischaemic strokes and seizures associated with non-territorial low attenuation areas on brain imaging.
