Abstract

ABSTRACTA previously healthy 3-month-old girl was admitted to the hospital after 1 day of fever, decreased oral intake, irritability, lethargy, and decreased activity. Examination disclosed a bulging anterior fontanelle, tachycardia (heart rate of 160 beats/minute), and urate crystals in her diaper. Lumbar puncture revealed meningitis. She was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics and fluids. A urine culture was negative, but blood and cerebrospinal fluid cultures came back positive for Salmonellaspecies, nontyphoid. During her hospitalization, she developed seizures but quickly improved with treatment and made a complete recovery with no sequela. Additional inquiry disclosed that the baby spent several days a week at her grandparents' house, where they raised chickens and ate fresh chicken eggs, which are well-known carriers for Salmonella.

Abstract

A 72-year-old woman with a prior history of stage IIIa lung adenocarcinoma was seen with complaints of knee pain, swelling, and difficulty sleeping at night for 1 month. Although mimicking osteoarthritis, patellofemoral syndrome, and iliotibial band syndrome, radiographs showed a lytic lesion suspicious for metastatic disease. The right tibial lesion was excised, saphenous neurolysis was performed, and radiation treatment and four cycles of chemotherapy were administered. This case shows the importance of early imaging in patients with knee pain of prolonged duration seen in the primary care setting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
