Acute aortic valvular regurgitation with pulmonary haemorrhage in Wegener's granulomatosis presenting as dyspnoea: a rare presentation.

A 40-year-old man with Wegener's granulomatosis with renal and ocular involvement was admitted with symptoms of fever, malaise and cough not responding to oral antibiotics. On initial assessment, he had patchy consolidation but was also found to have a new cardiac murmur. He was mildly anaemic.

Rare case of "red man" syndrome in a female patient treated with oral vancomycin for Clostridium difficile diarrhoea.

A 58-year-old Caucasian woman was admitted for knee replacement but during the postoperative period she developed sepsis due to pneumonia, which was treated with coamoxiclav and then piperacillin (for 2 weeks). She had renal failure, which needed haemofiltration. During her recovery she had diarrhoea due to Clostridium difficile, which was not controlled with metronidazole.
