Challenges in Diagnosing Post-Splenectomy Cytomegalovirus Mononucleosis.

Unlabelled: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is often asymptomatic. However, in certain individuals, it can cause non-specific signs and symptoms that maybe hard to recognise. The condition may therefore be overlooked or misdiagnosed, leading to prolonged illness and serious sequelae.

Hyperbilirubinemia in a Patient With Sepsis: A Diagnostic Challenge.

Cholestasis due to sepsis is commonly seen in critically ill patients; however, it is often overlooked and poses a challenge in clinical diagnosis and management. In this report, we present a 29-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with jaundice and symptoms of a urinary tract infection. Initially suspected to be Dubin-Johnson syndrome, sepsis-induced cholestasis was eventually diagnosed after testing.

Retrospective analysis of COVID-19 patients developing otherwise rare complications.

Background: Over the last 2 years, it has been felt that there was a disproportionate incidence of complications including pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and renal disease necessitating dialysis in patients with COVID-19 as compared to patients without COVID-19.

Methods: In a retrospective cohort, all patients were admitted to St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital in Pontiac, Michigan, between March 2020 and November 2021.

Isolated absence of the right pulmonary artery with coexisting left-sided heart failure: case report and literature review.

Isolated unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery (UAPA) exhibits a benign course and often goes undiagnosed until adulthood. We present a 39-year-old male admitted for left-sided congestive heart failure (CHF) exacerbation. However, chest radiograph demonstrated findings suspicious for UAPA that was ultimately confirmed on computed tomography.
