Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis secondary to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presenting with recurrent multi-territory infarcts: A case report.

Lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome is a life-threatening disease with poor prognosis and may present as ischemic stroke. We report a case of a 56-year-old female with recurrent multi-territory infarcts caused by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. She had been diagnosed with ischemic stroke and hemophagocytic syndrome probably secondary to Epstein-Barr virus infection 3 months previously and treated with Dexamethasone and Aspirin.

Progressive cutaneous Cryptococcosis complicated with meningitis in a myasthenia gravis patient on long-term immunosuppressive therapy - a case report.

Background: Cryptococcosis is an opportunistic infection caused by the encapsulated yeast Cryptococcus neoformans and most remarkably manifests in HIV-infected individuals, especially in the settings of very low CD4 count. Development of cryptococcosis in HIV-uninfected individuals is exceedingly rare and usually signifies a marked immunodeficiency. Cryptococcosis in association with myasthenia gravis or thymoma has been previously documented in only very few cases in the literature.
