https://www.selleckchem.com/products/bms-986235.html Critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are at risk of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. The clinical manifestations of a superimposed fungal infection in those patients are difficult to underpin. This is compounded by the non-specific radiological findings associated with this infection and the challenges associated with performing bronchoscopy in COVID-19 patients. We would like to present two COVID-19 cases who developed secondary Aspergillus pulmonary infection in the intensive care unit as shown by respiratory cultures, serum galactomannan and radiological images. Despite advanced intensive care and use of antifungal agents, both patients died eventually. This report illustrates the negative impact of secondary Aspergillosis and calls for the need of increased awareness of COVID19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis.Streptococcus gallolyticus ssp pasteurianus (SGp) is an uncommon but increasingly recognized cause of neonatal sepsis and meningitis. Liver abscess in neonates is extremely rare. But liver abscess due to SG has never been reported in the literature. We present the first case of liver abscess due to SGp in a late preterm infant. A female infant was born at 36 weeks via normal vaginal delivery to a mother with unremarkable antenatal history. She had progressively worsening respiratory distress since birth and was intubated at 13 h of life. One dose of surfactant was delivered and ventilation continued. Parenteral crystalline Penicillin and Gentamicin were initiated and her blood culture at birth grew SGp. She had a spike of fever on day 5 of life. An ultrasound (US) scan of the abdomen was included in the septic work up. A multi-septated cystic liver abscess was noted in the right lobe of the liver. As there was inadequate response to appropriate intravenous antibiotics, needle aspiration and biopsy were performed on day 35 of life. Aspirate was sterile and histopathology con
