A Rare Case Of Leprosy In West Florida, Adrian Lugo, Taylor Studsrud, Nemer Dabage, James Demaio
West Florida Division GME Research Day 2020
- Leprosy is caused by acid-fast bacilli of the M. leprae complex, which includes M. leprae and M. lepromatosis.
- Transmission in the U.S. is rare, but has been documented in hunters who handle wild ninebanded armadillo.
- The origins of M. leprae infection among armadillos, the geographic range of the infected animals, and the potential risks infected armadillos present to people have been topics of concern.
- The infection originated amongst armadillos decades before they were ever used in leprosy research, and numerous surveys have confirmed that armadillos in the southern United States are a large natural reservoir for M. leprae; its prevalence …

Pasteurella Multocida Bacteremia Secondary To Multiple Cat Scratches, Charles Boadu, Andrea Hernandez, Bassem Zeidan, John T. Young, Johnathan Frunzi
West Florida Division GME Research Day 2020
Pasteurella multocida(P. multocida)is part of the normal gastrointestinal and upper respiratory flora of domestic and wild animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, opossums, boars, tigers, lions and horses (1, 2). Transmission of P. multocidais usually through scratches and bites leading to infections of the soft tissue and skin (3,4). P. multocida bacteremia is rare, but occurs in individuals with major risk factors including chronic pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, end state renal disease (ESRD), and an immunocompromised state (3,4). Non traumatic infections of P. multocida in immunocompromised individuals,are more likely to require care in the intensive care unit …

- Amiodarone, an antiarrhythmic and apixaban, an anticoagulant have been associated with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH).
- Cases have been documented demonstrating DAH in the setting of amiodarone and apixabantreatment, however there are few cases examining DAH in combination therapy.
- We present a case of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage in the setting of amiodarone and apixaban treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
- NF1 is know to have higher risk for major bleeds due to their friable vasculature.

Progressive Collateral Stenosis Leading To Symptomatic Chronic Total Occlusion, Farhan Shah, Andrew Maiolo
Capital Division GME Virtual Research Day 2020
Chronic total occlusion is defined as the complete obstruction of a coronary artery, with TIMI 0 or TIMI 1 flow, and an occlusion duration of greater than 3 months. We present a case of symptomatic chronic total occlusion in a functional 79 year old female with no past history of coronary artery disease, previously asymptomatic due to robust collateral circulation.

Babesiosis Microti is a parasitic alveolate that is usually transmitted by Ixodes scapularis ticks. In the United States, the endemic areas of Babesiosis include the Northeast and Upper Midwestern regions [1]. Symptoms include fever, malaise, fatigue, vomiting, and jaundice [1]. Current therapy primarily consists of a combination of azithromycin and atovaquone. Clindamycin and quinine may be administered in severe cases. For its emerging health risk worldwide, clinicians must be aware of the several presenting manifestations of babesiosis. Since 2017, the Centers Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has deemed Babesiosis is a reportable disease. This case focuses on the importance of …

Introduction: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest class of transmembrane receptors and the target of ~30% of FDA approved drugs. It is now well established that GPCRs can signal through multiple transducers, including classical heterotrimeric G proteins but also GPCR kinases and β-arrestins (1). While these signaling pathways can …

Additional Authors: Meera Jain, MD, FACP; Jason Wells, MD
Intro: Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), previously exercise-induced asthma, has a high prevalence in the community. Patients with these symptoms are typically diagnosed clinically and treated empirically with pre-exercise albuterol. Eucapnic voluntary hyperventilation (EVH) has been used to objectively test for EIB and can help to confirm the diagnosis, as well as rule out other causes such as exercise-induced vocal cord dysfunction (EIVCD), which may mimic EIB.

Introduction: There are several cardiac and non-cardiac causes and risk factors for the development of infective endocarditis (IE) in young healthy adults. Some risk factors include prior IE, history of valvular or congenital heart disease, IV drug use, indwelling intravenous lines, immunosuppression, or a recent dental or surgical procedure. Most two common sites of IE are mitral and aortic valve. We present a case of a 45-year-old man with no-known risk factors, …

Introduction: •People with HIV infection are at least 50 times more likely to get lymphoma as compared to the general population. •25-40% of these lymphomas will be Burkitt Lymphoma (BL) – an aggressive B cell malignancy with a high proliferative rate and potentially fatal within months if not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner. •This translates to a 10-20% individual life-time risk of BL for an HIV infected person. •The incidence of BL declined after the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), but to a lesser extent than other HIV-associated malignancies. •Epidemiologic studies suggest the incidence of BL …

Providence St. Vincent Internal Medicine 2020
INTRODUCTION: Lemierre’ssyndrome is a rare and potentially fatal complication of acute pharyngitis most commonly seen in healthy, young adults who present with neck pain and persistent, high-grade fever. It is caused by anaerobic gram-negative organisms, most often Fusobacteriumnecrophorum, spreading into the deep spaces of the neck. This leads to septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (IJ) with septic emboli, most frequently to the lungs.
CASE REPORT: A healthy 18-year-old woman presented to the hospital with five days of fever, rigors, sore throat, and left neck pain. She appeared relatively non-toxic but was febrile to 105.6℉ and in septic shock. …

Providence St. Vincent Internal Medicine 2020
INTRODUCTION: This quality improvement project involved hiring, training, and managing 3 Delirium Mobility Aids to implement a non-pharmacologic delirium prevention bundle package, including early mobility, on hospitalized patients age >65.
Background: Delirium affects 20-30% of older hospitalized patients [1]. Patients with delirium have double the mortality rate [3], which increases with delirium duration [4]. Delirium worsens long term cognitive functioning [9,10,11,12]. Hospital costs increase by $2,500 per patient, totaling $6,900,000,000 in Medicare expenditures [7]. A single delirium episode increases total yearly costs by ~$64,421 [2]. Research suggests the best treatment is non-pharmacologic multicomponent interventions [6], and those with most …

Additional Authors: Justin Jin, MD
Introduction: Nocardia is a gram-positive, partially-acid fast, aerobic, branching bacillus that can be found in soil and water. It is typically an opportunistic pathogen, with most infections occurring in the immunocompromised. Disease can be localized or disseminated, preferring pulmonary, nervous, and cutaneous tissues. Optimal antimicrobial therapy depends on speciation of the isolate, as Nocardia may exhibit variable antimicrobial susceptibility. A high clinical suspicion and appropriate empiric antimicrobial therapy is necessary. This clinical case …
