A Case Report of Cystic Fibrosis Complicated by Burkholderia Cepacia and Cutaneous Vasculitis.

While the pulmonary and pancreatic involvement of cystic fibrosis (CF) is commonly described and therefore best studied, the cutaneous manifestations are frequently underdiagnosed, despite being important markers of disease severity. We report a case of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-negative cutaneous vasculitis in a 15-year-old female CF patient in tandem with infection and subsequent colonization by Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC). The flares of cutaneous vasculitis is associated closely with an infective exacerbation of CF and improved upon treatment of the infective exacerbation.

A Case of Miliary Perinatal Tuberculosis in a Preterm Newborn Infant Presenting as Peritonitis.

Perinatal tuberculosis (TB) is a rare disease with nonspecific clinical symptoms that can result in delayed treatment, and contribute to high morbidity and mortality. We report a case of perinatal TB in a 25-day-old newborn who presented with fever, respiratory distress, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and marked abdominal distension with hepatosplenomegaly. Further workup revealed culture negative sepsis, peritonitis, and diffuse nodular infiltrate in the lungs, liver, and spleen.
