Death of an Arabian Jew.

A 69-year-old Judean man presents with chronic low-grade fever, pedal edema, and abdominal pain. His condition deteriorates over several weeks with the appearance of shortness and foulness of breath, pruritus, convulsions of every limb, and gangrene of the genitalia. Just before he dies, he orders dozens of the leading men of his kingdom imprisoned and instructs his sister to kill them all after he is gone. Who is he and what is the likely cause of his death?

Leptospirosis presenting as diffuse alveolar hemorrhage: case report and literature review.

The literature on diffuse alveolar hemorrhage heavily emphasizes the causal role of vasculitides. We present a patient with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage caused by leptospirosis. Although the pathology in leptospirosis occurs secondary to a vasculitic process, this disease is not listed as a cause of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage in the review literature. In the right clinical scenario, the disease should be considered in a patient presenting with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.
