-associated infective endocarditis: Case series, literature review, and genetic study.

Key Clinical Message: -associated endocarditis is a rare occurrence, raising diagnostic challenges, and is often associated with considerable morbidity. However, vigilance can prevent devastating consequences.

Abstract: -associated endocarditis is rarely reported but often associated with considerable morbidity.

Dilemma of Tocilizumab therapy for a patient with critical COVID-19 disease and neutropenia: Case report and review of the literature.

Infection following SARS-Co V-2 leading to COVID-19 disease is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The clinical entity, COVID-19 cytokine storm syndrome (CSS) is a severe immunological manifestation of the disease associated with ominous consequences. Tocilizumab is interleukin-6 inhibitors that has been shown to hamper the catastrophic outcomes of CCS including the need for mechanical ventilation as well as reduce mortality, but the usage is limited by warnings of reactivation of potential latent infections or immune dysfunctions including severe neutropenia.

Underrecognized pathogen; -associated native mitral valve endocarditis in an immunocompetent host: A case report and literature review.

-related endocarditis is rarely reported, raising diagnostic challenges and is often associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. We describe a case of native valve endocarditis caused by and complicated by a valve perforation in an immunocompetent patient to raise awareness of this emerging organism.

Pyelonephritis-associated bacteremia in an immunocompetent host: Case report and review of the literature.

is one of the coagulase-negative staphylococcus species. It is the second most frequent causative microorganism in acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections in young women. However, it is potentially capable of causing more invasive infections including bacteremia, particularly secondary to pyelonephritis.

Beware of the ambiguous enemy of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adult (MIS-A) following Covid-19 infection or vaccination.

Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome is a rare and novel clinical presentation described during the evolving COVID-19 pandemic. The condition is usually presenting as a sepsis-like syndrome leading to secondary multi-organ dysfunction post-COVID-19 infection. Although the syndrome has been mainly described in children, rare adults' form has been similarly described.

Ominous combination: COVID-19 disease and fungemia-Case report and review of the literature.

The identification of fungemia in critically ill COVID-19 patients is detrimental, with huge implications on patient mortality and infectious control measures.

gallbladder polyp masquerading as a neoplasm: Rare case report and literature review.

Schistosomiasis affecting the gastrointestinal tract is common in tropical and subtropical areas but associated polyps presenting as gallbladder pathology are rare clinical entities necessitating high clinical suspicion.

Central line-associated fungemia in an immunocompetent host: Case report and review of the literature.

is an emerging fungal infection with the ability of biofilms formation. The identification of fungemia should trigger reflexes of prompt central venous line removal and using Amphotericin therapy.

Antemortem diagnosis of human rabies: A case report.

Antemortem diagnosis of rabies is challenging, and usually, more than one test modality is needed to confirm the diagnosis. No effective treatment exists so far, and the Milwaukee Protocol is debatable.
