Pancreatic Tuberculosis With Duodenal Fistula Presenting as Life-Threatening Gastrointestinal Bleeding.

Pancreatic tuberculosis (TB) warrants heightened suspicion in individuals with pancreatic lesions and risk factors such as HIV, organ transplantation, or pertinent immigration history. We present a 38-year-old man who presented with hemodynamically unstable gastrointestinal bleeding. He was found to have pancreatic TB complicated by a duodenal ulcer with fistula.

Encephalopathy of Autoimmune Origin: Steroid-Responsive Encephalopathy With Associated Thyroiditis.

Background/objective: Our objective is to highlight the importance of identifying symptoms of steroid-responsive encephalopathy with associated thyroiditis (SREAT), especially in the setting of intermittent cognitive dysfunction, and to inform that SREAT can develop even in patients with a history of partial thyroidectomies.

Case Report: We present a case of a 51-year-old woman with a long-standing history of hypothyroidism presenting with acute onset myoclonus, involuntary tremors, fatigue, malaise, and palpitations for two weeks, with intermittent lapses in cognitive function. The patient's workup is completely within normal limits, including her cognition, except for elevated thyroid stimulating hormone levels and markedly elevated levels of antithyroid peroxidase antibodies, despite the fact that she previously had a partial thyroidectomy.
