COVID-19-associated thrombotic angiopathy improved after plasma exchange.

Utilization of therapeutic plasma exchange in select patients with COVID-19 microangiopathy may provide useful treatment by modulation of inflammatory cytokines and coagulation cascade to maintain homeostasis.

Opportunistic Disease or Metastatic Lesions: A Rare Finding in a Patient with Bladder Cancer.

A 66-year-old male with a history of human immunodeficiency virus infection and metastatic bladder cancer presented to our hospital for a further workup of a focal seizure involving the patients left upper extremity. The patient was undergoing active chemotherapy at the time of admission and had a CD4 count of 111. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed multiple ring-enhancing lesions in the right frontal lobe associated with vasogenic edema, and mass effect at the right frontal horn of the lateral ventricles.

Newly diagnosed AIDS with neurosyphilis, Kaposi sarcoma, pancytopenia, oropharyngeal candidiasis, and pseudomonal pneumonia: We shouldn't be seeing this anymore.

We present a case of newly diagnosed HIV with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), Neurosyphilis, Kaposi Sarcoma, and multiple opportunistic infections. Although this type of patient was not uncommon in the pre-antiretroviral era, we do not often see such a constellation of conditions in a single individual.
