HighlightsListeria monocytogenes can cause infections in humans and animals.Symptoms depend on the infection site and the integrity of the host’s immune system.Skin and soft tissues infections by Listeria are rare.The authors present the first Listeria monocytogenes infection involving skin and bone.

Serious electrical injuries are rare but may have life-threatening consequences. Voltage exposure injuries are divided into low voltage injury (LVI) or high voltage injury (HVI). An LVI current can result in severe injury, depending on the length of exposure, the size of the individual, the cross-sectional area in contact with the electrical source, and environmental humidity. The authors present a 31-year-old male with accidental electrocution with low voltage current and cardiopulmonary arrest. A detailed revision by organs and systems is presented. LVI is uncommon and can occur with a variety of clinical presentations, rarely presenting with direct lung injury. Early recognition and support are the cornerstones of treatment.

Mycobacterium chelonae is a non-tuberculous mycobacterium that can cause skin infections in immunocompetent individuals. We report a case of skin infection by this agent in a woman with dyslipidaemia, that culminated in statin-induced rhabdomyolysis due to the combination of clarithromycin, ciprofloxacin and simvastatin.

The use of recreational cannabis affects almost all countries in the world, being illegal in most of them. Cannabis formulations include several compounds, with cannabidiol (CBD) being one of the best studied. One of its effects is its action in adenosine (anti-arrhythmic) receptors.We present the case of a 39-year-old male with chronic anxiety and regular inhaled cannabis consumption who reported to the emergency department (ED) after a first use of inhaled CBD. While in the ED, the patient presented with four episodes of syncope. EKG was performed and an extreme bradycardia with a sinus pause of 13.8 seconds was observed.Marijuana consumption is associated with various clinical manifestations, such as bradycardia, sinus pauses, and orthostatic hypotension. The tropism of this toxic for adenosine receptors can induce severe bradycardia, which can be life-threatening.

A 69-year-old man was brought to the emergency department due to an acute onset of fever, altered mental status, and left motor deficit. Brain MRI disclosed bilateral acute and subacute strokes (figure, B). CSF identified aseptic meningitis. Extensive infectious workup was unremarkable. Cerebral angiography revealed more than 20 intracranial aneurysms, some fusiform (figure , A). Neuro-Behçet disease (NBD) was confirmed due to history of oral ulcers, positive pathergy test, and HLA-B51. Steroids were started with clinical response. NBD is very rarely associated with cerebral aneurysms, caused by obliterative endarteritis of the vaso vasorum. 1,2 Multiple aneurysms and fever with no infectious cause should prompt investigation for NBD.
