We present a case of a 38-year-old male patient who presented with fever, icterus and spontaneous splenic rupture after a visit to Vietnam and discuss the differential diagnosis of splenic rupture in ill returned travellers. Spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare complication of several tropical diseases, including infection.Atypical presentations of infection should always be considered in febrile ill returned travellers. Spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare complication of several tropical diseases, including Salmonella infection.Atypical presentations of Salmonella infection should always be considered in febrile ill returned travellers.Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations are most commonly triggered by infections, but up to 25% of those that require hospitalization are thought to be triggered by acute pulmonary embolism. We present the case of a 71-year-old patient with a history of unprovoked pulmonary embolisms on anticoagulation therapy hospitalized for a COPD exacerbation. The exacerbation was triggered by an acute pulmonary embolism, representing anticoagulation failure. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is an important trigger of COPD exacerbations and should be considered, especially when there is an unexplained abrupt or recurrent increase in the frequency or severity of exacerbations.Therapeutic anticoagulation does not preclude the presence of PE.Clinical risk stratification is a crucial component of medical decision-making.
