Worm globalization
We report the first case of eosinophilic pleural effusion due to Anisakis spp. infection in a 39-years-old European subject hospitalized for worsening dyspnoea and abdominal and thoracic pain. Lung CT scan showed bilateral pleural effusion; thoracentesis revealed significant eosinophilia (45%), with normal eosinophils in the blood. Microbiological tests on pleural effusion were negative for bacteria, SARS-CoV-2, tuberculosis, fungi and parasites. The patient used to eat raw fish; Western blot was positive for Anisakis spp. in blood and pleural effusion. In the era of globalization, unusual parasitic infections should be co...

Case report: JAKi and TNFi dual therapy is a potential treatment strategy for difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis
This report describes a successful case of a 48-year-old woman with difficult-to-treat RA who treated with Tofacitinib combined with adalimumab. She had been on glucocorticosteroid for a long time, but had persistent joint pain and fatigue. At more than one year of follow-up, her Disease Activity Score for 28-joint counts based on the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) remained in complete remission, and she discontinued her glucocorticosteroid medications. Also, she did not develop a mycobacterial tuberculosis infection, herpes zoster, and new-onset cardiovascular events.PMID:36591263 | PMC:PMC9794839 | DOI:10.3389/fimmu.2022.1074329

Primary Tuberculosis Presenting as a Soft Tissue Mass in the Sacroiliac Joint of an Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report
A 46-year-old immunocompetent Somali female immigrant presented with a 2-year history of progressive left hip pain refractory to conservative management. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large mass arising from her left sacroiliac joint and extending into her left gluteus maximus. Biopsy and culture identified an abscess of unknown etiology, prompting an incision and drainage. This abscess was later identified as primary tuberculosis, for which she was placed on an antitubercular regimen and had complete resolution of her symptoms. Primary tuberculosis, while extremely rare, should be considered on the differential fo...

Peritoneal tuberculosis mimicking peritoneal carcinomatosis in a gallbladder carcinoma patient
A 74-year-old female presented with complaints of recurrent pain in the right hypochondrium associated with fatigue and weight loss evolving for two months. Physical examination detected pain in the right hypochondrium. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a gallbladder mass with multiple gallstones. The studies were completed with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, which demonstrated irregular thickening of the gallbladder wall possibly infiltrating the liver parenchyma  (Figure 1). CT of the abdomen, carried out in the context of the work-up for spread, showed a thickening of peritoneal surfaces suggestive of per...

Peritoneal tuberculosis mimicking peritoneal carcinomatosis in a patient with gallbladder carcinoma
A 74-year-old woman presented with complaints of recurrent pain in the right hypochondrium associated with fatigue and weight loss evolving for 2 months. Physical examination detected pain in the right hypochondrium. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a gallbladder mass with multiple gallstones. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography demonstrated irregular thickening of the gallbladder wall, possibly infiltrating the liver parenchyma (Figure  1). Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen, carried out in the context of the workup for metastasis, showed a thickening of peritoneal surfaces that was suggestive of peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Tuberculosis of the ribcage by dissemination of Koch bacilli
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious, transmissible and immune disease caused by theMycobacterium tuberculosis-complex (MTBC). Although osteoarticular tuberculosis (OATB) has been widely described, the ribcage variety remains a rare form.Case report: A thirteen-month-old male and a twenty-month-old female, both with pain and increased volume of anterolateral left rib cage were described. Physical examination revealed the presence of a soft consistent mass at the level of the 9th and 5th costal arches in the male and female patients respectively. Upon clinical evaluation, tuberculosis was suspected, which was co...
