Abstract

Cardiovascular complications contribute to approximately 40% of all COVID-19–related deaths. Thrombosis in COVID-19 infection is a well-known phenomenon, and the spectrum of thromboembolic diseases related to COVID-19 is wide, with venous thromboembolism being the most common manifestation. We describe a case of myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) that developed in the setting of mild COVID-19 infection. Our case illustrates how COVID-19 can present with MINOCA and highlights the importance of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in identifying the underlying etiology.

15. Subcutaneous gluteal abscess from Trichosporon asahii in an immunocompetent adult.

Author

Abstract

Fungal infections have been drastically increasing in incidence in recent years, preferentially affecting immunocompromised hosts and causing potentially fatal outcomes. One of the emerging fatal fungal pathogens is Trichosporon asahii, a non-Candida yeast that has been increasingly reported in recent years. Previous literature has described T. asahii as primarily affecting immunocompromised hosts, specifically those who are neutropenic, and causing fatal disseminated infections. Herein, we describe a case of an isolated subcutaneous abscess with T. asahii in an immunocompetent host without overlying skin manifestations or predisposing factors that resulted in complete mycotic cure when treated with voriconazole and terbinafine.

18. Atrial invasion from primary lung adenocarcinoma extension via the pulmonary vein.

Author

Abstract

Intravascular extension of lung adenocarcinoma is one of the four defined routes of metastasis to the heart but is rarely described in the literature. This is a rare case of primary lung adenocarcinoma with intravenous extension to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein. A 56-year-old female presented to the hospital with chest tightness and dyspnea. Chest computed tomography revealed a right hilar mass extending through the right superior pulmonary vein into the left atrium. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large, partially mobile left atrial mass occupying the entire atrial cavity and affecting mitral valve closure. Endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial biopsy of the right middle lobe of the lung histologically showed a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma compatible with the primary lung cancer. The patient was deemed a poor surgical candidate by cardiothoracic surgery due to the extent of metastasis and was started on chemoradiation. The patient's left atrial tumor mass started shrinking in size after starting the treatment. This unique case displaying intravascular extension of lung cancer to the left atrium has rarely been described in the literature., Competing Interests: The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose., (2022, International Research and Cooperation Association for Bio & Socio - Sciences Advancement.)

20. Histoplasmosis presenting as colitis and blood dyscrasias in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Author

Butt DN, Warraich MS, Balakrishna AM, Ismayl M, Liaqat S, Butt KN, Thirumalareddy J, and Velagapudi M

Abstract

A 28-year-old woman with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus on hydroxychloroquine and steroid therapy presented with fever, dysentery, and thrombocytopenia. Marrow aspirate revealed yeast forms of histoplasmosis. She was treated with liposomal amphotericin B followed by itraconazole with resolution of symptoms and marrow recovery., (Copyright © 2022 Baylor University Medical Center.)
