Tuberculous pseudoaneurysm of the aorta is rare and exposes patients to a very high risk of unpredictable rupture. To our best knowledge, only 32 cases have been reported related to all arterial systems from 1993 to 2013 in the literature. We report a 44-year-old male who presented with an aortic pseudoaneurysm and tuberculosis of the kidney and vertebrae. He underwent endovascular repair and antibiotic therapy for tuberculosis, combined with a bare stent implanted to seal endoleaks after endograft stenting. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient recovered and lived well afterwards. Epidemiology, pathogenesis, presentation, management, and mortality of this entity were reviewed and discussed.

Rational antibiotic therapy is one of the most important components in the treatment of children with various infectious and inflammatory diseases. However, wide and sometimes unjustified use of AB in pediatric practice often leads to the development of a variety of complications. Children receiveing AB, especially during the first 5 years of life, are at a very high risk of developing antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) which manifests itself in three or more episodes of unformed stools for two or more consecutive days or for 8 weeks after withdrawal. The most relevant pathogen of AAD is C. difficile which, according to various data, causes from 10 to 25% of AAD cases and 90 to 100% of all cases of pseudomembranous colitis (PMC). Given the high probability of developing dangerous complications such as PMC, special attention should be paid to the prevention of the infection associated with C. difficile by reducing the frequency of uncontrolled and unjustified use of AB. A new generation of eco-antibiotics can be recommended which allow to maintain diversity of the intestinal microbiota and are less likely to cause complications.

A literature review was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the C-terminal crosslinking telopeptide (CTX) serologic test, which has been suggested to predict the risk of developing osteonecrosis of the jaw in patients taking oral bisphosphonates. Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a condition that causes avascular necrosis of the alveolar bone, which occurs in patients treated with bisphosphonates. It has been suggested that a CTX value below 100 pg/ml represents a high risk for ONJ , while between 100 and 150 pg / ml a moderate risk and above 150pg/ml minimal risk. The CTX test has been controversial and it has not been possible to frame it as strong evidence, since several studies have found variable results. Patients with very low CTX levels have not developed ONJ, and others with very high CTX levels, supposedly safe, have done . CTX test is a useful test to inform the dentist about the activity level on patient ́s bone turnover, and may be useful to advise the patient. Low CTX levels could serve to delay a surgical procedure that is not deemed urgent.
