    Abstract Detection of aspergillus by PCR is a helpful tool for early diagnosis. The test has excellent sensitivity and specificity with a high negative predictive value. Well-accepted, standardized method for DNA extraction for PCR testing is to be adopted for all commercial assays and conclusive validation data are awaited in varied clinical settings. This perspective offers guidance for utilizing PCR testing while awaiting such data. Quantification by PCR, species-specific identification assays and detection of resistance genetic markers are of future promise. Herein, we summarize the available data on aspergillus PCR and describe its potential utility through a clinical case scenario-based approach.

    Abstract Linezolid-induced lactic acidosis is a rare, but life-threatening complication of a commonly used drug. Patients present with persistent lactic acidosis, hypoglycaemia, high central venous oxygen saturation and shock. Linezolid causes mitochondrial toxicity due to impaired oxidative phosphorylation. This is evidenced by cytoplasmic vacuolations in the myeloid and erythroid precursors of bone marrow smear as illustrated in our case. Discontinuation of the drug, administration of thiamine and haemodialysis reduces lactic acid levels.

    Abstract Recurrent hematemesis and ascites due to portal hypertension are treated by Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) to decompress the portal system. Many causes can be attributed to fever in such patients, one of them being, endotipsitis. Awareness among the clinicians about the existence of such a condition needs to be enhanced to avoid underdiagnosis. The diagnosis of endotipsitis, a primary vegetative infection of the TIPS, requires a high index of suspicion. Here we describe one such case that presented with prolonged fever and sustained bacteremia with a history of TIPS thrombosis. After ruling out all possible causes of fever a diagnosis of probable endotipsitis was made and treated successfully with prolonged targeted antimicrobial therapy without further relapses. Only a handful of cases have been described in literature, and there is an urgent need to develop standard management guidelines. Because definitive treatment, which involves removal of the shunt requires liver transplantation, which is not practically feasible always.

    Abstract Hepatosplenic space occupying lesions are usually labelled as metastasis. This case highlights the importance of thinking beyond malignancy and the importance of adopting a systematic approach when dealing with such lesions that have a plethora of close differentials. Hepatosplenic tuberculosis is a rare form of extra pulmonary tuberculosis. Timely diagnosis and treatment turned the table from a probable dismal prognosis to a completely curable cause. We report an unusual case, which was provisionally labelled as malignancy, due to isolated liver and spleen involvement but on evaluation turned out to be tuberculosis. The patient got cured with 6 months of anti-tubercular therapy. The report also brings to light the possible use of molecular methods like cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test in diagnosing hepatobiliary tuberculosis, the literature about which is very scarce and limited.
