High Index Of Suspicion

Infections with Listeria monocytogenes are uncommon but serious, with mortality rate approaching 30% in cases of systemic involvement despite first-line therapy. They are usually caused by ingestion of contaminated foods, but spontaneous infections have also been described. Listeria monocytogenes is a rare cause of peritonitis, and most of the published cases are in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. There are a few reported cases of Listeria peritonitis associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD), primarily isolated peritonitis. If detected early, Listeria peritonitis can be successfully treated with ampicillin, alone or in combination with gentamicin. Vancomycin has been listed as a second-line agent. However, it has been associated with treatment failure. In this case report, we present a patient who developed disseminated listeriosis, with peritonitis as the first manifestation of disseminated infection. This case illustrates the importance of having a high index of suspicion for L. monocytogenes if patients deteriorate despite empiric therapy for PD-associated peritonitis and serves as a further example demonstrating the inadequate coverage of vancomycin for L. monocytogenes.

Bosutinib is approved as first line therapy for treatment of chronic phase CML and also in patients who are either resistant or intolerant to previous TKI. We present a 59 year old male who was intolerant to 2 TKI but showed excellent hematological and major molecular response to Bosutinib.

AbstractObjective:We present a patient with a rare combination of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis and Eisenmenger's syndrome.Method:Case report and review of the world literature regarding the morbidity and mortality of surgical management of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis and the potential hazards of non-cardiac surgery in patients with Eisenmenger's syndrome.Results:Failure of maximal medical therapy necessitated surgical management to treat amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis which, in this particular patient, carried significant risks. Total thyroidectomy was performed leading to rapid resolution of thyrotoxicosis, and the patient made an uncomplicated recovery. We present this case because of its rarity and the potentially hazardous nature of surgical intervention in patients with Eisenmenger's syndrome. The pathogenesis of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis and the differing approaches of medical and surgical management are discussed.Conclusion:Based on our findings, we propose that surgical management should be considered earlier in the treatment algorithm (or possibly as first-line therapy) for amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis.
