    Abstract Autoimmune diseases can result in additional symptoms and complications impacting various organ systems beyond the joints. These can affect the eyes, skin, respiratory, cardiac, and renal systems. Recognizing and understanding these diverse manifestations, such as the severe eye issues seen in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the potentially life-threatening Felty syndrome, is crucial for clinicians to promptly identify and treat these conditions effectively. In this case presentation, we report on a patient admitted for bilateral scleritis, which was found to be secondary to multiple autoimmune syndrome type 3. During the patient's hospital stay, Felty syndrome was incidentally diagnosed due to the observed combination of RA, splenomegaly, and absolute neutropenia. Prompt recognition of this condition allowed the patient to receive appropriate care, including oral steroids, hydroxychloroquine, and methotrexate, decreasing the risk of severe complications.

    Abstract The presence of gas and free air in the extraluminal space of the intestines is known as pneumatosis intestinalis (PI). There are many different causes of this finding, including gastrointestinal, pulmonary, autoimmune, and many more. It is often difficult to differentiate the etiology and clinical importance of the radiographic evidence on pneumatosis intestinalis due to the unclear pathophysiology causing the disease. To complicate things further, the ominous sign of portal venous gas poses the question of whether surgical intervention is needed. We report two cases both with clinical and radiographic evidence of secondary pneumatosis intestinalis with an associated sinister finding of portal venous gas. The cases differ by urgent surgical intervention versus observation before surgery. In this case series, we emphasize the importance of recognizing the radiographic finding and stress the need for further research to standardize a plan of care, including indications for surgery. We encourage more cases like this to be reported to aid in diagnosing and treating this condition early on with the aim of improving the mortality associated with it.

    Abstract This case report describes an unusual manifestation of hemophilia B, in the form of a lateral chest wall hematoma. A 27-year-old hemophiliac male was found to have a lateral chest wall hematoma after presenting with back pain associated with localized chest wall swelling. Even more unusual than the location of his hematoma was the absence of any preceding triggers such as a fall or trauma to the area. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of its kind in a patient with inherited hemophilia B. We believe the reporting of such rare presentations increases awareness of these possibilities and thus aids in the prompt diagnosis and treatment of other similar cases when they are encountered.

    Abstract Background: Pylephlebitis is an extremely rare form of septic thrombophlebitis involving the portal vein, carrying high rates of morbidity and mortality.
    Case summary: We present a case of a 42-year-old male with no past medical history who presented with acute onset of abdominal pain and altered mental status with laboratory tests demonstrating new-onset acute liver failure. Pylephlebitis was determined to be the underlying etiology due to subsequent workup revealing polymicrobial gram-negative anaerobic bacteremia and complete thrombosis of the main and left portal veins. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of acute liver failure as a potential life-threatening complication of pylephlebitis.
    Conclusion: Our case highlights the importance of considering pylephlebitis in the broad differential for abdominal pain, especially if there are co-existing risk factors for hypercoagulability. We also demonstrate that fulminant hepatic failure in these patients can potentially be reversible with the immediate initiation of antibiotics and anticoagulation.

    Abstract Legionella is most known for causing pneumonia. However, it is a systemic disease that can directly cause severe multi-organ injury in what is sometimes referred to as "extrapulmonary Legionella." In this case report, a reasonably healthy 80-year-old man is found to have Legionella pneumonia complicated by rhabdomyolysis with acute, severe, non-oliguric acute kidney injury, uremic encephalopathy, transaminitis, and cerebellar dysfunction. With a 14-day course of azithromycin and prompt initiation of dialysis, the patient's pneumonia and systemic sequelae improved. This case demonstrates the importance of considering Legionella in the differential diagnosis of patients who present with community-acquired pneumonia and multi-organ dysfunction. Prompt diagnosis and management may decrease mortality associated with this disease sequela.

    Abstract The double-positive disease is the co-occurrence of antiglomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) and is an uncommon cause of renal failure. Our case of triple-positive disease is an even rarer cause of isolated renal failure, as it includes anti-GBM, antimyeloperoxidase (MPO), and antiproteinase 3 (PR3). We present a case of a 62-year-old Caucasian male with a history of multiple comorbidities, who presented to the emergency department (ED) with worsening dyspnea on exertion that started about one month prior to admission. He was found to be in renal failure secondary to triple-positive disease. We believe that the likely mechanism of our patient's triple-positive disease was a drug-induced ANCA vasculitis overlapping with Goodpasture's syndrome. We believe our case to be a valuable addition to the literature as it is a rare overlap syndrome without a previously established disease course or etiology.

    Abstract Hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome is a rare abnormality comprising a series of symptoms that make up a syndrome. It usually happens during pregnancy or right after delivery. We describe a case of a 31-year-old female G4P2A2 (Gravida 4 Para 2 Abortions 2) who presented to the hospital for normal vaginal delivery but immediately postpartum developed HELLP syndrome. Acute fatty liver of pregnancy was a differential that the patient also met the criteria for. Her condition improved after starting her on plasmapheresis without considering hepatic transplantation. We emphasize distinguishing the overlap of symptoms between HELLP syndrome vs. acute fatty liver of pregnancy and the outcomes of plasmapheresis in managing HELLP syndrome without needing hepatic transplantation.
