Anemia of inflammation, as found in many chronic disease states, is common among persons with diabetic foot infections but is typically mild and self-limited. Herein we present four cases of patients with foot infections accompanied by severe anemia (nadir hemoglobin <8 gm/dL and resulting in transfusion of 4 + units of blood) as well as significant weight loss (30 + pounds), hyponatremia (<135 mmol/L), hypoalbuminemia (nadir <2 gm/dL), uremia and other metabolic derangements.

Symptomatic prostatic calculi are rare occurrences with several management options, the most popular of which is currently transurethral laser lithotripsy. This is a generally well-tolerated procedure with minimal complications. To date, no reported episodes of steinstrasse at the urethral level following prostatic calculi lithotripsy have been documented to our knowledge. We report a unique case of acute urinary retention secondary to obstructive calculi fragments following a transurethral laser lithotripsy of large prostatic calculi, further complicated by stricture at the fossa navicularis.
