Brodie's Abscess in a Patient Presenting with Sickle Cell Vasoocclusive Crisis.

First described by Sir Nicholas Brodie in 1832, Brodie's abscess is a localized subacute or chronic infection of the bone, typically seen in the metaphases of long bones in children and adolescents. The diagnosis can prove to be enigmatic due to absence of clinical signs and symptoms of systemic disease. We report a very interesting case of Brodie's abscess masquerading as sickle cell vasoocclusive crisis in a 20-year-old female with sickle cell disease and review the literature.

A novel use of early radiation therapy in the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia in a patient with primary hepatic lymphoma and chronic hepatitis C.

Lymphomas arising in the liver are extremely rare. Here, we describe a case of Hepatitis C virus infection with primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL) presenting with hyperbilirubinemia. A 45-year-old African American male presented with abdominal pain, pruritus, and itching for two days.

Klebsiella ozaenae sepsis in a young healthy male.

Introduction: K. ozaenae is a weak pathogenic organism known to cause primary atrophic rhinitis or ozena. There are few reports that the bacteria could cause serious invasive infection in debilitated patients.

Lemierre's syndrome resulting from streptococcal induced otitis media and mastoiditis: a case report.

Introduction: Lemierre's syndrome is an extremely rare and almost universally fatal disease characterized as thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular venous system with subsequent metastatic infection. Fusobacterium necrophorum is the most common organism implicated in causation of Lemierre's syndrome. Group A Streptococcus has mainly been observed as a polymicrobial organism in the syndrome.
