Recurrent Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy due to Pheochromocytoma Managed With Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

Pheochromocytoma-induced Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare but life-threatening condition, caused by excessive plasma catecholamine levels, resulting in acute myocardial dysfunction. Clinical presentation includes a rapid development of heart failure due to regional wall motion abnormalities (most commonly affecting all mid to apical left ventricle (LV) wall segments) causing the "octopus-trap-like" LV shape. A 45-year-old female patient presented with acute cardiogenic shock of non-ischemic etiology.

[A New Score for Predicting Mortality in Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Associating CURB-65 with Bleeding: CURB-65+B].

The clinical spectrum of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) disease ranges from mild to fatal. Adult patients infected with the CCHF virus have a case fatality rate ranging from 3% to 30%. In order to measure the severity and mortality of CCHF disease, scoring systems comprised of laboratory data and clinical observations have been developed.

[A Case Report on Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Secondary to Neurobrucellosis in a Patient with Cerebral Aneurysm].

Brucellosis is a multisystemic infection produced by a gram-negative bacillus that can develop a variety of clinical symptoms and complications. Involvement of the central nervous system is a challenging and dangerous consequence of systemic brucellosis. The neurobrucellosis clinical spectrum can be classified as central and peripheral.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an acute febrile hemorrhagic disease that can be fatal. Almost one-eighth of people infected with CCHF develop serious illness. The mortality rate is high due to severe bleeding, diffuse intravascular coagulation, shock, and multiple organ failure.
