Myeloma-associated systemic amyloidosis masquerading as NASH-associated cirrhosis and diabetic microvascular complications.

Authors describe the case of a 60-year-old diabetic man who presented with jaundice, ascites and significant weight loss over a period of 2 months. Physical examination revealed firm hepatomegaly with ascites.

Disseminated cryptococcosis in an apparently immunocompetent patient presenting with primary intraventricular haemorrhage.

Disseminated cryptococcosis is uncommon and almost always occurs in HIV-infected patients. However, cryptococcosis can also be found in patients of organ transplantation, in those on disease modifying agents for rheumatological conditions and in patients with underlying immunodeficiency. Cryptococcal infection may occur in an immunocompetent patient, but the pathogenic strain is usually Cryptococcus gattii, and not C.
