The Vital Role of Immunohematology in Diagnosing Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria: A Clinical Case Report.

Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH) is a rare autoimmune hemolytic anemia caused by the binding of IgG immunoglobulins to red blood cells at cold temperatures, leading to hemolysis upon rewarming. The Donath-Landsteiner test can show biphasic hemolysis, leading to diagnosis. There is no consensus, but chemoimmunotherapy with or without plasma exchange is commonly employed.

Kocuria kristinae neuroinfection in an immunocompetent patient: a case report and review of the literature.

Few cases of disease by have been reported, some in immunocompetent patients but mainly in immunocompromised. The current case report describes a 28-year-old female with an initial diagnosis of pituitary macroadenoma. After the initial surgery, the patient was readmitted due to tension pneumocephalus and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula.

Evaluation of the expanding spectrum of sertraline against uncommon fungal pathogens.

The emergence of non-Aspergillus mold pathogens has increased notoriously in the last decades with serious health consequences. The options of treatment for these microorganisms often resistant to a wide variety of antifungals is limited. Sertraline is an antidepressant with in vitro and in vivo antifungal properties which has been recently studied as an adjuvant in the treatment of invasive infections.
