: Infective Endocarditis (IE), a known complication of hemodialysis (HD), has recently been categorized as Healthcare-Associated Infective Endocarditis (HAIE). Single pathogen bacteremia is common, polymicrobial endocardial infection is rare in this cohort of the patients. We report a case of endocarditis caused by Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia), a first ever reported combination of a usual and an unusual organism, respectively, in a patient on HD. Clinical presentation of the patient, its complicated course ,medical and surgical management ,along with microbial and echocardiographic findings is presented herein. The authors believe that presentation of this case of HAIE may benefit and contribute positively to cardiac science owing to the rare encounter of this organism as a pathogen in infective endocarditis and the difficulties in treating it.

The Ideal

Partial physeal bars may develop after injury to the growth plate in children, eventually leading to disturbance of normal growth. Clinical presentation, age of the patient, and the anticipated growth will dictate the best treatment strategy. The ideal treatment for a partial physeal bar is complete excision to allow growth resumption by the remaining healthy physis. There are countless surgical options, some technically challenging, that must be weighted according to each case’s particularities. We reviewed the current literature on physeal bars while reporting the challenging case of a short stature child submitted to a femoral physeal bar endoscopic-assisted resection with successful growth resumption. This case dares surgeons to consider all options when treating limb length discrepancy, such as the endoscopic-assisted resection which might offer successful results.

Objectives: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) laryngitis is rare in adults. We add a case report to the literature and perform a literature review to further delineate the clinical presentation, course, and treatment of HSV laryngitis in adults. Methods: Case report and literature review using PubMed and Ovid databases. Results: Ten cases of diagnosed HSV laryngitis in adults were reported in the literature. It is more common in immunocompromised patients. The mean patient age was 51 years with a male to female ratio of 1:1. The clinical presentation and course of HSV laryngitis is variable. Patients may have mild chronic symptoms, such as dysphonia, or a fulminant course with rapid airway compromise. On laryngoscopic exam, the most common findings are a white exudate or ulceration. The most common treatment is with antiviral medication, such as acyclovir, which tends to be highly effective. Conclusions: Herpes simplex virus laryngitis is rare. Clinical presentation of HSV laryngitis is variable, and its course may be indolent or fulminant. Treatment with antiviral medication tends to be highly effective.

Blood Aspiration

Priapism in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) appears to be an infrequent manifestation as well as a crucial emergency. Here, we report an 18-year-old male presenting with a persistent erection of penis for 20 days. We evaluate and compare the reported cases during the past 20 years discussing the management of CML patients experiencing priapism. Cytoreductive therapy followed by leukapheresis, the administration of tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and intra-cavernosal blood aspiration may resolve the symptoms of priapism. Early intervention for cytoreduction and aspiration are the pivotal keys to successfully impeding the complications.
