Cryptococcal infection with ruxolitinib in primary myelofibrosis: A case report and literature review.

Cryptococcus neoformans (CN) is an encapsulated yeast that is found worldwide. It causes self-limiting infections in immunocompetent hosts; however, infections due to CN could be disseminated and potentially life-threatening in immunocompromised hosts. Herein, we present a patient with primary myelofibrosis who received ruxolitinib and developed disseminated cryptococcosis due to CN.

Two cases of multi-inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) in adults in 2020.

Background: Late complications and longer-lasting sequelae of COVID-19 infection in adults can occur. Cardiovascular involvement including reduced ejection fraction, coronary artery aneurysms, and pericardial involvement have been reported. Prompt recognition is the first step and secondly, these cardiovascular phenomena require an alternative set of therapeutics from the standard of care for acute COVID-19 infection.
