    Abstract The practice of recreational urethral sounding involves insertion of foreign body in the urethra usually for sexual gratification. We present a case of a 62-year-old male with longstanding recurrent urinary tract infections complicated with Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteremia, discitis, and osteomyelitis at T12-L1 vertebral level associated with left psoas abscess secondary to a retained foreign body inserted into his urethra and urinary bladder. He had extraction of foreign body, cystoscopy, and open cystolithotripsy. He received long-term antibiotics and back surgery resulting in residual chronic back pain. This case illustrates important chronic infectious complications associated with the high-risk sexual practice of urethral sounding.

    Abstract The rapid identification of pathogens that cause bloodstream infections plays a vital role in the modern clinical microbiology laboratory. Despite demonstrating a significant reduction in turnaround time and a significant effect on clinical decisions, most methods do not provide complete antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) information. We employed rapid identification (ID) and AST using the Accelerate PhenoTest on positive blood cultures containing Gram-negative bacilli. The length of stay (LOS) significantly decreased from an average of 12.1 days prior to implementation to 6.6 days post-implementation (

    Abstract Rhabdomyolysis has been described as a complication of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, but few cases of rhabdomyolysis associated with COVID-19 vaccination have been reported. We described a case of an 80-year-old male who developed rhabdomyolysis two days after receiving his second dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. He presented with severe weakness, myalgias, and an initial creatinine kinase (CK) of 6,546 IU/L that improved with intravenous fluids. Common causes of rhabdomyolysis were excluded including statin use, strenuous exercise, and trauma. With the increasing immunization efforts against COVID-19, physicians should consider the possibility of rhabdomyolysis when a patient presents with neuromuscular complaints following vaccination.

    Abstract Blastomycosis is a rare endemic fungal infection caused by the dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis. It is more likely to occur in persons living in areas of the United States and Canada, which border the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys and the Great Lakes region. Most infections are localized to the lungs, often presenting as acute or chronic pneumonia. Occasionally, patients progress to develop disseminated disease and extrapulmonary infections. Blastomycosis tends to be misdiagnosed initially at clinical evaluation as it is rare and may resemble other common conditions. We present a case of a 78-year-old immunosuppressed renal transplant patient who was suspected of having gout but eventually was diagnosed with an unusual presentation of septic arthritis of the ankle secondary to blastomycosis.

    Abstract Spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. More common infectious causes include infectious mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus (CMV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and malaria. We present a case of a 42-year-old male who was admitted with persistent fevers, myalgia, and a recent ulcerative lesion on the base of his left thumb after a cat bite. He developed abdominal and back pains, left axillary lymphadenopathy, and near syncope. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed splenomegaly with subcapsular splenic rupture and large hematoma requiring emergent splenic embolization. Infectious work-up revealed tularemia as a cause which was successfully treated with oral doxycycline. Though not a common cat zoonoses, tularemia should be considered in a patient with splenomegaly or spontaneous splenic rupture in the setting of cat bite.

    Abstract Background: Invasive procedures used to manage intravascular masses such as vegetation from endocarditis, deep vein thrombosis, and septic emboli are associated with high rates of complications and mortality, especially in patients with several pre-existing comorbidities. A minimally invasive technique that has become more popular in recent years is the AngioVac procedure. This single-centered, retrospective study focuses on patient presenting comorbidities and indications for the procedure as well as postprocedural outcomes.
    Methods: A total of 33 patients who underwent an AngioVac procedure at Sanford Health between March 2014 and October 2019 was reviewed. Data were collected on pre-existing comorbidities, indication of procedure, length of stay, and postoperative outcomes.
    Results: We evaluated a total of 33 patients who underwent an AngioVac procedure for removal of intravascular mass. The most common indications for the procedure were endocarditis (24/33, 73%); intracardiac mass (5/33, 15%); and deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism (2/33, 6%). Post-procedural blood transfusion was required in nearly half (15/33, 45%). Almost all patients (31/33, 94%) required intraoperative vasopressor use. Nearly all patients (32/33, 97%) were directed to the intensive care unit following the procedure with an average length of stay of 8 days (interquartile range: 3-13). Most common complications seen after the procedure were shock requiring vasopressors, (13/33, 39%), pleural effusion (9/33, 27%), and sepsis (4/33, 12%). Procedural success in this single-centered experience was 85% (28/33), which was defined as size reduction of the initial vegetation by >50% in the absence of severe intraoperative complications and absence of need for further valvular surgical intervention.
    Conclusion: For surgically high-risk patients, the AngioVac procedure may offer a less invasive option in the management of right sided endocarditis requiring vegetation debulking, intravascular thrombi or cardiac masses.
