Treatment with IgM-enriched intravenous immunoglobulins (IgM-IVIg) enhances clearance of stroke-associated bacterial lung infection
Immunology. 2022 Jul 26. doi: 10.1111/imm.13553. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPost-stroke infection is a common complication of stroke that is associated with poor outcome. We previously reported that stroke induces an ablation of multiple sub-populations of B cells and reduces levels of IgM antibody, which coincides with the development of spontaneous bacterial pneumonia. The loss of IgM after stroke could be an important determinant of infection susceptibility and highlights this pathway as a target for intervention. We treated mice with a replacement dose of IgM-enriched intravenous immunoglobulin (IgM-IVIg) prior to a...

Prevalence of COVID-19 Mimics in the Emergency Department
Conclusion Several potentially fatal diseases remain masked among the wave of COVID-19 mimics. It is imperative that a thorough differential diagnostic panel be considered prior to the rendering of a COVID-19 diagnosis.PMID:34334560 | DOI:10.2169/internalmedicine.6434-20

Outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID ‐19: The lessons learned from the first wave of COVID‐19
ConclusionsBased on our experience, ECMO can improve refractory ARDS due to COVID ‐19 in select patients. Proper control of bacterial infections during COVID‐19 immunomodulation therapy may be critical to improving survival.

A True Hematologic Emergency
BY GREGORY TAYLOR, DO, & JACKLYN MCPARLANE, DOA 33-year-old woman with a past medical history of sickle cell SS presented to the emergency department with chest pain, difficulty breathing, and a cough for two days. Her chest pain was diffuse, without radiation, and partially reproducible. Her cough was nonproductive, and she also reported fever and chills.The patient noted this was different from her normal back and leg pain from past sickle cell crises. She was following up with a sickle cell specialist, and was compliant with her hydroxyurea treatment.Her temperature was 102.8°F, blood pressure was 94/60 mm...

A Mouse Model of Post-Stroke Pneumonia Induced by Intra-Tracheal Inoculation with Streptococcus pneumoniae
Conclusions: In this standardized mouse model of post-stroke pneumonia, we describe attenuated leukocyte infiltration and cytokine production in response to bacterial infection in the lungs that has a profound effect on outcome.Cerebrovasc Dis 2017;43:99-109
