Article Synopsis
- The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), common worldwide, often causes infectious mononucleosis, which can be asymptomatic or present with fever, throat inflammation, and swollen lymph nodes.
- A rare complication of this infection is acute acalculous cholecystitis, a serious inflammation of the gallbladder that can occur due to insufficient blood supply and bile flow.
- A case study of a 21-year-old woman with this condition underscores the need for careful evaluation of liver tests and white blood cell counts alongside imaging to improve diagnosis and treatment of EBV-related complications.

Lyme neuroborreliosis is a rare zoonosis which can be difficult to diagnose, in particular in low endemic areas. We here report the case of a 35-year-old man presenting with disabling back pain preceded by facial monoplegia, which was wrongly treated as Bell's palsy (paralysis a frigore) and then as post-traumatic lumbosciatica. The onset of facial diplegia allowed for a definitive diagnosis.

Introduction: Alveolar echinococcosis is an endemic parasitic disease prevalent in certain cold regions of the Northern Hemisphere, including Eastern France, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, and the United States. Widely underdiagnosed, it is associated with infection by Echinococcus multilocularis, a small tapeworm belonging to the cestode class, capable of causing multi-systemic involvement, particularly in elderly or immunocompromised patients.
Case Report: We present the case of an 82-year-old patient, immunocompromised due to prolonged corticosteroid therapy and treatment with dupilumab.
