Sensitivity of Coccidioides serologic tests among culture-proven coccidioidomycosis patients with hematological malignancy compared to a matched immunocompetent cohort.

Coccidioidomycosis is associated with an increased risk of mortality and morbidity among immunosuppressed patients. The sensitivity of current commercial Coccidioides serologic tests is not well evaluated in patients with hematological malignancy. We conducted a retrospective study, including patients with culture-proven coccidioidomycosis, from October 1, 2017, to December 12, 2023.

Bilateral Endogenous Endophthalmitis With Klebsiella pneumoniae Bacteremia Secondary to Hepatic Abscess.

endophthalmitis is a rare cause of endogenous endophthalmitis, with very few cases documented in the US. We present a male patient in his 60s with a history of latent tuberculosis who presented to the hospital with complaints of acute bilateral vision loss that began three days prior to admission. The workup revealed bacteremia, a large hepatic abscess, severe orbital swelling, and acute angle-closure glaucoma.
