Article Synopsis
- Carcinocythemia is the presence of tumor cells in the blood, making it challenging to detect, especially when the cells are present in low numbers.
- In a case study, a 56-year-old patient was initially suspected of having sepsis but was later diagnosed with carcinocythemia after atypical cells were found in a blood smear, and further tests confirmed the presence of carcinoma cells.
- The patient sadly passed away shortly after diagnosis, revealing that the underlying cause was a form of breast cancer; this highlights the need for improved detection methods for carcinocythemia in patients with symptoms like disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) causes worldwide more than 20 million new hepatitis cases yearly. These infections can take on fulminant forms or cause severe extrahepatic manifestations, and integration into hepatitis differential diagnosis is recommended. In developed countries, genotypes 3 and 4 are most common, mainly through zoonotic transmission.

- Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) like S. carnosus, typically seen as low risk for infections, have been found to possess virulence-related genes similar to those in more pathogenic strains like S. aureus.
- A clinical case involving S. condimenti, another food industry CNS, resulted in a serious surgical-site infection and bloodstream infection, highlighting its potential risk.
- Antibiotic resistance was observed in the isolate, emphasizing the need for better evaluation of CNS strains used in food production, as they may contribute to human infections more than previously thought.
Introduction: The propositus - a two-week-old boy - was transferred to our university hospital for investigation of increased head circumference and full fontanel. On ultrasound, thrombosis of the right internal cerebral vein and intraventricular haemorrhage was diagnosed, confirmed by MRI. Family history revealed a bleeding history in the mother.
