    ID Corner : Influenza update
    (University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2018-01) Rojas-Moreno, Christian
    This flu season has been especially bad. As of epidemiological week 4 (week ending on January 27th), overall hospitalizations are now the highest we've seen in recent years and flu associated deaths in children and adults continue to be reported. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), latest tracking data indicate that the flu activity is still high and widespread across most of the nation and increasing overall. Influenza A H3N2 continues to dominate this season, but H1N1 and influenza B are also causing illness.

    Acute esotropia in the setting of heroin withdrawal
    (University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2018-01) Satish, Bokka; Sivaprasad, Pesala; Bollu, Pradeep
    Acute onset of concomitant esotropia presenting with diplopia can be seen in the setting of heroin withdrawal. We report a case of acute esotropia in a young white male during heroin withdrawal. A sudden onset of eye deviation is usually considered an ominous sign and patients are subjected to a multitude of diagnostic tests and investigations. Acute esotropia in the setting of heroin withdrawal is typically self-limiting. This case presentation can increase the awareness among physicians for a timely diagnosis, and prevent unnecessary diagnostic testing and further consultations.
