    Abstract Pulmonary embolism (PE) represents mechanical obstruction of one or more branches of pulmonary vasculature due to thromboembolism from a deep vein thrombosis. Hormonal contraceptives, hormonal replacement therapy, antipsychotics and fibrates are medications that are associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism(VTE). Etanercept is a TNF alpha and beta receptor blocker. Rarely this medication has been identified as a risk factor for VTE. There is a possible correlation between rheumatoid arthritis(RA) and risk of VTE in patients with RA. Use of medication that can increase risk of VTE in a patient with systemic inflammatory condition that in itself may be a risk factor for VTE requires shared decision and risk versus benefit discussion with the patient. We present a case of unprovoked PE in a patient on Etanercept treatment for RA. Though in this case, a causal relationship between the drug use and the event could not be proved, the patient preferred to discontinue the medication. In newer classes of medications, when the mechanism of side effects is unclear, we strongly recommend extensive discussion with patients about available scientific literature and encourage shared decision making with the patient.

    Conclusions: In cases of infection with fastidious organisms like GPACs, the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) can allow the correct identification of culprit pathogens and streamlined treatment.

    Abstract Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne infection and is a leading cause of meningitis. The at-risk population includes patients over age 65, neonates, pregnant females, and patients with impaired cell immunity. Ustekinumab is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to and interferes with the proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-23(IL-23). The drug is used for the treatment of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriatic arthritis, and plaque psoriasis. We present a case of listeria meningitis in a patient on ustekinumab therapy for plaque psoriasis.

    Abstract Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction caused by a B-cell-mediated, T-cell-dependent immunologic attack at the end plate of the postsynaptic membrane. Attack on muscle acetylcholine receptors (AChR) of the postsynaptic membrane due to the AChR, muscle-specific tyrosine kinase, or lipoprotein receptor-related peptide 4 antibodies lead to symptoms of painless, fluctuating weakness of muscle groups and often begins with ocular signs and symptoms. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute respiratory disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a novel coronavirus closely related to SARS-CoV. Serious neurologic complications are infrequent and diverse with reported cases of stroke, encephalitis/meningitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, ataxia, and unspecified limb weakness. MG is a rarely reported sequela of COVID-19 infection. To date, there are 15 reported cases of post-COVID-19 MG. In this article, we present a case of post-COVID-19 MG and a concise review of other reported cases. An 83-year-old Caucasian male with a medical history of atrial fibrillation status post-ablation and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy was initially admitted for COVID-19 pneumonia. He was treated with remdesivir, convalescent plasma, and supplemental oxygen therapy but did not require invasive mechanical intubation. One month after discharge, he started experiencing fatigue with muscle weakness and progressive dyspnea. He progressed to develop dysphonia, especially at the end of the day. After extensive workup, he was diagnosed with MG with a positive antibody against the AChR. The chronological events of developing slowly worsening muscular weakness after recovering from COVID-19 infection and positive AChR antibody led to the diagnosis of post-COVID-19 new-onset MG. Post-COVID-19 fatigue, long-term use of steroids, and intensive care unit-related physical deconditioning can be confounders in the clinical presentation of post-COVID-19 new-onset MG. Careful history-taking and meticulous assessment of chronological events are needed to diagnose this rare entity.

    Abstract Ciliocytophthoria is a phenomenon where degenerated cells in infections or malignancy can present as ciliated cells on microscopy and so may be confused with ciliated parasitic infection. We present an interesting case of recurrent shortness of breath, misdiagnosed as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations leading to unnecessary exposure to antimicrobials and steroids. The case was diagnosed as
