Case: We present a case of isolated Salmonella species group B sacroiliitis in a healthy 19-year-old collegiate-level swimmer with no known risk factors. To our knowledge, there are no similar cases described in the current literature. Conclusion: Pyogenic sacroiliitis (PS) is a rare form of septic arthritis, especially in adults. PS is most commonly seen in the setting of intravenous drug use or in an immunocompromised patient. If a patient does not fit either of these demographics, PS initially can be a difficult diagnosis because of its rarity and vague symptomatology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents several case studies of swimmers including 18-year-old male, 15-year-old female, 14-year-old female who were diagnosed with breathing problems, wheezing and chest tightness; and highlights a reproducible approach to test spirometry among swimmers in susceptible environment.

The article discusses the case of a 21-year-old female college swimmer competing for 400-yard individual medley but stopped and began to sink at 110 yard and kicked off underwater while holding her breath. The swimmer was breathing and had a pulse but verbally unresponsive and her legs are shaking. The article discusses the case of vasovagal syncope among swimmers.

The article presents several case studies related to the health conditions of various athletes. It says that a 21-year-old male swimmer ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft, which was treated using Aiguille Semi-Permanent (ASP) acupuncture needles. It mentions that a 35-year-old male volleyball player's chronic knee pain was resolved after he underwent an Auricular acupuncture (AA). Moreover, the 24-year-old male track sprinter's knee pain score is discussed.

The article evaluates the airway response to a methacholine challenge and to eucapnic hyperpnea in a group of female elite swimmers. Eucapnic voluntary hyperpnea (EVH) test, a field-based exercise test (FBT), a laboratory-based exercise test (LBT), and a methacholine challenge were performed by 16 female nonasthmatic elite swimmers. The criteria suggested by the International Olympic Committee Medial Commission (IOC-MC) were used to define a positive response to the challenges. The results of the study suggest the use of EVH test when diagnosing and evaluating elite swimmers' EIB, and if EVH test negative then proceeding to LBT.
