We describe a gram-negative bacterium that belongs to a group tentatively classified at the Centres for Disease Control as CDC Enteric Group 58. It was recovered from bone at the site of internal fixation plates in a left forearm following a traumatic fracture. This is a rare isolate and, in this case, it was not associated with systemic signs of infection. Biochemical identification of the isolate is described.Key words: enteric group CDC58, osteomyelitis, internal fixation A.O. plate.

Haemochromatosis presenting as angina and responding to venesection Congestive cardiac failure, pericarditis, arrhythmias, and conductive defects are well-recognised cardiac manifestations of idiopathic haemochromatosis. Angina pectoris may be the presenting symptom but is less well recognised. A case is described with the results of venesection and a seven-year follow-up period. Case report A 38-year-old butcher presented in 1969 with a six-month history of angina on moderate exercise, palpitations, and dyspnoea on severe exercise. He did not smoke and drank two pints of beer per week. His family history on 28 September 2020 by guest. Protected by copyright.
