Endovascular Mycobacterium abscessus infection in a heart transplant recipient: a case report and review of the literature
Nontuberculous mycobacteria are ubiquitous in the environment. Although rarely a cause of infection in immunocompetent individuals, increased risk and severity of infection are seen in patients who are immunocompromised, such as those with solid organ transplants. In this report, we describe the first case of disseminated endovascular Mycobacterium abscessus in a heart transplant recipient. A review of the literature regarding this infection in heart transplant recipients and its therapeutic options and concerns are summarized.

The modern day masquerader: a rare case of acute HIV infection with neurologic complications and a review of the literature.
Our case demonstrates a rare presentation of acute HIV infection (AHI) with myoclonus, rhabdomyolysis, and aseptic meningitis. It is imperative for primary care physicians to consider AHI. In this patient, laboratory findings demonstrated infection three to four months before presentation. The diagnosis of AHI is critical for early intervention and for decreasing transmission. We review the CNS manifestations of AHI, the laboratory stages of AHI, and discuss treatment options.
