    Abstract Purulent pericarditis is a rare but serious medical condition caused by an infection that spreads to the pericardial space surrounding the heart. Gram-positive organisms are the most common pathogens associated with purulent pericarditis. However, there has been a shift in recent years toward gram-negative bacteria.

    Abstract Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a rare neurological condition characterized by muscle weakness that worsens after use. Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs) are disorders due to stem-cell hyperplasia characterized by an increased peripheral blood cell count, overactive bone marrow, and proliferation of mature hematopoietic cells. MPNs may be Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome-positive or Negative .A systematic review of case reports was conducted by searching PubMed, Scopus, and Google scholar to identify case reports in which there is an association between MG and MPN and know whether MG can be considered a possible neurological paraneoplastic syndrome in patients with MPNs. A total of 13 cases of MPNs associated with MG were identified. The most common type of MPN associated with MG was chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) (10 out of 13 patients).  In most of the patients, MG symptoms appeared after a diagnosis of MPN was made. Considering that 10 out of the 13 patients in our cohort had positive auto-antibodies though only 4 of them had thymic hyperplasia, we hypothesize that bone marrow proliferation was responsible for the production of autoantibodies in these patients.As the clonal cell population cannot be eliminated entirely in the bone marrow even after treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in Ph +ve MPNs and JAK2 inhibitors in Ph -ve MPNS, MG can occur even in patients who are treated with these agents. A high index of suspicion is needed to diagnose it early, and treatment should be initiated immediately with steroids and anticholinergic agents.

    Abstract The commonest etiologies of new-onset pancytopenia are congenital bone marrow failure syndromes, marrow space-occupying lesions, infections, and peripheral destruction. Nutritional deficiencies, including folate and vitamin B12, can occasionally cause pancytopenia. We report a 48-year-old gentleman who presented with a 1-week history of dizziness and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Laboratory evaluation revealed pancytopenia, macrocytosis, toxic neutrophils, hemolysis, suppressed reticulocyte count, positive direct anti-globulin test (DAT), severely reduced B12 levels, and positive anti-intrinsic factor and anti-parietal cell antibodies. He was started on weekly intramuscular B12 supplementation and showed improvement in blood cell counts during follow-up. Recognition of B12 deficiency as a cause of pancytopenia and DAT-positive autoimmune hemolytic anemia can help to avoid unwanted investigations and aid in early diagnosis and treatment.

    Abstract Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) is a painful ophthalmoplegia due to non-specific granulomatous inflammation in the cavernous sinus region. It is diagnosed by the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD)-3 criteria. We report the case of a young lady who presented with a right-sided headache for 2 weeks, followed by right-sided diplopia for 4 days. Clinical examination revealed right trochlear nerve palsy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of her brain showed abnormal thickening and postcontrast enhancement of the right orbital apex and superior orbital fissure, suggesting THS. Examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ruled out intracranial infection. The initial presentation satisfied the ICHD-3 criteria. Further imaging revealed cervical, axillary, and intra-abdominal lymphadenopathy with granulomatous lesions in the spleen and right kidney. Ultrasound (US)-guided axillary lymph node biopsy was positive for

    Abstract Acquired von Willebrand Disease (AVWD) is a rare disorder in which qualitative or quantitative defects in von Willebrand factor (VWF) occur secondary to other conditions. AVWD occurs in patients with myeloproliferative disorders due to formation of autoantibodies against VWF and development of excessive shear stress causing disruption of VWF multimers. AVWD is different from congenital VWD in its acute onset and absence of family history. We report a 42-year-old gentleman with essential thrombocythemia, who was on cytoreductive therapy with hydroxyurea, and presented with an acute history of gum bleeding with hemoptysis, without any antecedent trauma or infections. His platelet count was very high, and prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time were prolonged. The VWF ristocetin cofactor assay (VWF: RCo) was low, but VWF antigen level (VWF: Ag) was normal. Their ratio (VWF: RCo/VWF: Ag) was much lower than the acceptable lower limit. Treatment in AVWD is focused on addressing the underlying disorder. Early recognition of AVWD and its primary cause is mandatory in providing adequate therapy and achieving a cure.
