A case of pulmonary aspergillosis masquerading as pulmonary tuberculosis in a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus [PDF]
Patients with diabetes are more susceptible to infections than non-diabetics and often have severe clinical manifestations. The underlying immune dysregulations in these patients result in them developing serious, life-threatening infections.

Pulmonary Oxalosis in Pulmonary Aspergillosis Syndrome
The presence of pulmonary oxalosis in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) or biopsied tissue samples is considered pathognomonic for Aspergillus disease etiology. The finding of calcium oxalate crystals in the tissue samples infected with aspergillosis can serve as a vital diagnostic clue. Detection of calcium oxalate crystals is achievable within 24 hours by

Metastatic Cutaneous Abscesses as Initial Presentation of Tuberculosis in an Immunocompetent Patient
ABSTRACT Metastatic tuberculous abscesses are a rare but clinically significant manifestation of tuberculosis. Cutaneous tuberculosis accounts for just 1%–2% of extrapulmonary cases, with cold abscesses being one possible skin manifestation. Skin lesions are most commonly acquired through hematogenous dissemination from distant foci of infection ...
