Bicondylar Hoffa fracture with concurrent medial and lateral collateral ligament avulsion: A case report
AbstractHoffa fractures are rare fractures of the femoral condyle that occur in the coronal plane of the bone. In most cases, high-energy trauma leads to isolated coronal fractures of one of the femoral condyles, medial or lateral. Even with a typical unicondylar Hoffa fracture, our patient sustained a bicondylar Hoffa fracture in his right knee after falling from high and suffering direct trauma as well. The fracture was approached from both the medial and lateral sides of the distal femur. Three-month follow-up showed excellent functional scores, no laxity, and no pain.

Leukopenia which had developed during treatment with 2g ceftriaxone/day (yellow) resolved when antibiotic therapy was switched to penicillin G 20 million international units/day (green). AbstractLeukopenia, including agranulocytosis, is a severe complication of treatment with all β-lactam antibiotics. Its incidence increases with age.Cardiobacterium hominis endocarditis after implantation of an aortic valve bio-prosthesis in a 77-year-old woman was treated with ceftriaxone 2 g/day plus gentamicin 160 mg/day intravenously.

Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia complicated a case of SARS ‐CoV‐2 infection and multiple sclerosis after treatment with rituximab
Key Clinical MessageAlthough immunodeficient patients are less prone to develop Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-mediated cytokine storm, secondary infections can cause serious complications in this vulnerable population. They are more likely to develop opportunistic infections that can mimic the symptoms of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Herein, we presented a 27-year-old male patient of SARS-CoV-2 infection, who was complicated withPneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP), following treatment with rituximab. First, he was hospitalized for 5 days with fever, cough, and dysp...
