    Abstract A 47-year-old Caucasian man on long-standing antifungal therapy for chronic necrotising aspergillosis and a history of recurrent pseudomonas pneumonias presented to the outpatient pulmonary clinic with dyspnoea and chest discomfort for 3 days. A CT angiography of the chest demonstrated angioinvasion from the previously noted left upper lobe cavitary lesion into the left main pulmonary artery, along with new consolidating lesions. Due to the high risk for massive haemoptysis, he was evaluated by thoracic surgery and underwent a successful left pneumonectomy. As invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is associated with high mortality, surgical intervention should always be considered, especially in those who develop extensive disease, despite being on aggressive antifungal therapy. Though minimally described in literature, invasive pulmonary pseudomonas also carries a high mortality risk. In our patient, cultures from the resected lung only demonstrated

    Abstract Nocardia can cause systemic infections with varying manifestations. Resistance patterns vary by species. We describe N. otitidiscavarium infection with pulmonary and cutaneous manifestations in a man in the United States. He received multidrug treatment that included trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole but died. Our case highlights the need to treat with combination therapy until drug susceptibilities are known.

    Abstract Case presentation: A 65-year-old woman was referred for a second opinion regarding a 7-month history of a persistent, progressive, nonproductive cough. Her cough occurred several times a minute, causing a significant impact on her daily activities. She denied fever, chills, weight loss, chest pain, wheezing, symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux, or postnasal drip. She was a never smoker with no history of asthma, allergies, sinus disease, or dermatitis. She had never taken an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. Her medical history included rheumatoid arthritis, for which she was treated with methotrexate for 3 years. She denied any occupational or environmental exposures. She was previously treated with a short-acting β-agonist, inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting β-agonist, montelukast, nasal steroids, a proton pump inhibitor, gabapentin, and azithromycin without relief. She also received codeine, which provided mild relief.

    Abstract Silicone oil (SO) is a commonly used agent of intraocular endotamponade for treating complicated retinal detachment. We report a case of SO migration into the cerebral ventricles which was initially misdiagnosed as metastatic disease. Misinterpretation of SO as metastatic disease in a patient with a lung nodule triggered admission to a medical intensive care unit and unnecessary evaluation with further imaging and invasive procedures.

    Abstract The differential diagnosis of the patient with encephalopathy is broad and remains a common yet challenging problem for critical care physicians. A case is presented of contrast-induced encephalopathy in an 81-year-old man undergoing a left heart catheterisation after receiving iopamidol, a low-osmolar contrast agent. Immediately after receiving contrast, our patient experienced severe headache, agitation, altered mentation and significant skin hypersensitivity. This rare, acute and reversible neurological disturbance can be associated with administration of intra-arterial, osmotic, iodinated contrast. Although uncommon, it is important to recognise the various presentations, risk factors and treatment of this condition.
