ABSTRACT
Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a common cause of zoonotic infections in dogs and cats. Recently, there has been an increasing number of infections being reported in humans caused by this organism. We report a case of complicated urinary tract infection in an elderly patient with recent bilateral ureteral stent placement caused by this organism with associated persistent high-grade bacteraemia.

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a neoplastic disorder resulting in dysplasia and apoptosis of the hematopoietic clonal cells. The presenting features of MDS are usually dependent on the cellular lineage affected in the bone marrow (BM). Generally, MDS presents in older adults with recurrent infections, anemia, and bleeding tendencies. However, until now, there are no cases of splenic infarction in MDS. Splenic infarction is a rare event and is often reported in myeloproliferative or thromboembolic disorders. In this case report, we present splenic infarction; a never reported clinical manifestation in an MDS patient.
