Bacteremia: A Marker of an Underlying Perforated Colonic Diverticular Disease in a Non-Neutropenic Patient With COVID-19.

() is an aero-tolerant, gram-positive, endospore-forming, and non-exotoxin-producing bacillus that has colonized the gastrointestinal tract of animals and humans. It is considered a rare pathogen of humans, possibly because of its low virulence. Most infections in the reviewed literatures were predominately reported among neutropenic hosts with hematological malignancies.

Extensive Aortic Thrombosis and Renal Infarction in Association With an Active Flare-Up of Crohn's Disease.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a recognized extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism being reported as the most frequent vascular complications in IBD patients. Much less frequently, arterial thromboembolic events may also be associated with greater morbidity and mortality. Aortic mural thrombosis is a rare phenomenon described in patients with IBD that often results in serious consequences such as visceral infarction and acute ischemia of the lower extremities.

Isolated Enteric Myeloid Sarcoma as a Rare Etiology of Small Bowel Obstruction in a Young Female Patient.

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is an extra-medullary solid tumor consisting of myeloid blasts or immature myeloid cells. MS is usually associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other myeloproliferative neoplasms or myelodysplastic disorders. Isolated MS is a rare clinical entity, and the small bowel is a rare phenomenon for the occurrence of MS.

as the Culprit Organism of Post-Colonoscopy Necrotizing Perineal Soft Tissue Infection in a Diabetic Patient With Crohn's Disease.

() is a Gram-positive facultative anaerobe and a known commensal organism of the oropharyngeal and gastrointestinal tracts. It is considered a rare cause of infections in humans. Most of the documented infections, whereas has been implicated as a causative pathogen, were infective endocarditis and deep visceral abscesses.

The Diagnostic Dilemma of Acute Granulomatous Hepatitis in a Patient With Crohn's Disease: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Liver involvement is not an uncommon extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD-associated liver diseases may have a variety of etiopathogenetic origins (including shared autoimmune pathogenesis, the effect of chronic inflammatory status, and adverse effects of drugs). Nevertheless, acute granulomatous hepatitis in the setting of Crohn's disease (CD) is a rare clinical entity.

Multisystemic Sarcoidosis Presenting with Widespread Vertebral Osseous and Visceral Lesions Masquerading as Metastatic Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review.

BACKGROUND Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease which predominantly affects the lungs, skin, and lymph nodes. Vertebral sarcoidosis is a rare entity. The clinical presentation of sarcoidosis with diffuse vertebral osseous and visceral lesions, simulating a disseminated metastatic cancer, is extremely unusual and has been reported only in a handful of cases in the current literature.

Recurrent renal abscess complicating infection in an immunocompetent young female patient: A case report and review of literature.

is second only to as the most frequent causative organism of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) among the sexually active female population. However, it is considered a rare cause of complicated UTIs in immunocompetent hosts with no identifiable risk factors for the occurrence of a complicated urinary tract infection. We report an exceedingly rare case of a 20-year-old otherwise healthy female patient, with no identifiable risk factors for complicated UTIs, who presented with a recurrent renal abscess secondary to .
