Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive aerobic bacterium; found ubiquitously in nature; which mainly affects newborns, older adults, immunosuppressed patients and pregnant women. However, Listeria disease can occur in the healthy population. Invasive listeriosis has three dominant clinical forms, bacteremia, neurolisteriosis and maternal-neonatal infection.

Article Synopsis
- A zoonotic pathogen, which can rarely infect humans via fish consumption, has been linked to various severe infections including endocarditis and meningitis.
- An 87-year-old woman developed significant health issues, including confusion and lung infection, after eating cooked fish, leading to hospitalization and intensive care.
- Despite extensive treatment for her condition, blood cultures indicated the presence of the pathogen, ultimately resulting in the decision for comfort care due to irreversible shock.
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder that is characterized by deficiencies in the phagocytes capacity to eliminate ingested microorganisms, which frequently causes bacterial and fungal infections. The extensive involvement of the lungs, ribs, and vertebrae that is complicated by multiple abscesses from aspergillosis is rare. in this study, we report a 13-year-old boy with CGD who experienced concurrent pneumonia, rib osteomyelitis, spondylodiscitis, paravertebral, and epidural abscesses as a result of infection with associated computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging findings.

Button battery ingestion in infants is an increasingly common surgical emergency which can lead to oesophageal perforation, mediastinitis, trachea-oesophageal fistulation, airway compromise and death. One exceedingly rare complication of battery ingestion is discitis and osteomyelitis in the cervical and upper thoracic spine. Diagnosis is normally delayed due to the non-specific presentation, delayed imaging findings and the initial clinical focus on dealing with the immediate, and potentially life-threatening, complications.
