TL;DR: Clinical, laboratory, diagnostic and therapeutic features of spinal tuberculosis, also known as Pott disease, are described and ST should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with vertebral osteomyelitis, especially in tuberculosis-endemic regions.

TL;DR: It is suggested that for patients who have diarrhoea, melena, haematemesis, haemaaturia, elevated AST and LDH, and a prolonged aPTT, physicians should be aware of the high fatality risk.

TL;DR: Eleven patients with unusual clinical presentations of brucellosis are presented: Neurobrucellosis, peritonitis, pericarditis, pancytopenia, and uveitis were diagnosed in 2 patients each and 1 presented with epididymo-orchitis.

TL;DR: It was shown that advanced age and concomitant aminoglycoside-class antibiotic use were significantly associated with nephrotoxicity, and colistin should be used carefully, and all patients should be monitored closely for renal neph rotoxicity.

TL;DR: A wound infection was presented in a previously healthy man and it was found to be Shewanella putrefaciens, an unusual pathogen of wound infections in humans.
