https://www.selleckchem.com/products/trastuzumab-emtansine-t-dm1-.html A 50-year-old woman with a history of kidney transplant presented with 2 days of abdominal pain after 6 months of recurrent streptococcal pharyngitis, fevers, weight loss and a new rash on her chest and back. Her examination was notable for a unilateral tonsillar exudate and 2-3 mm pink papules with a fine scale over her chest and back. CT of the abdomen and chest demonstrated several large lymph nodes, and laboratory investigation revealed new cytopenias and elevated transaminases. Urine antigen testing for Histoplasma capsulatum was negative, but a fungal complement fixation panel was reactive for Histoplasma antibodies. Skin biopsy revealed intracellular organisms consistent with H. capsulatum She underwent treatment with liposomal amphotericin B but due to nephrotoxicity, drug interactions and worsening transaminitis, therapy was changed to itraconazole. The diagnosis and management of disseminated histoplasmosis presents multiple challenges, which are of particular importance in patients with a history of renal transplantation.Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) should be considered when a newborn develops atrioventricular heart block along with the presence of autoantibodies to Sjogren's syndrome autoantigens in the maternal serum. NLE can also present with features such as cutaneous lesions, hepatic dysfunction or haematological abnormalities. Differential diagnosis usually includes congenital infections as there is a significant overlap of symptoms with NLE. We report a case of NLE who had multiorgan involvement with macular erythematous skin lesions present at birth, and on investigation was found to have cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. The diagnostic dilemma was whether to consider this infection as symptomatic or just colonisation. In the infant described, the absence of end organ damage specific to CMV infection (hearing loss, intracranial calcifications, retinitis, brain involvement)
