How Health Systems Can Improve Relationships with Their Doctors By Michael R. Rose, Robert L. Colones, and Kathleen MacDonald Harvard Business Review McLeod Health, a health system that serves patients in South Carolina and North Carolina, has worked for a decade in forging a collaborative partnership with 903 physicians. This article shares the process that McLeod Health used to achieve that alignment. By applying its approach, other health systems can reduce physician burnout and improve clinical, operational, and financial performance.

Bartonella henselae Infective Pulmonic Valve Endocarditis Triggering ANCA-Associated Crescentic Necrotizing Glomerulonephritis | Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Bartonella species is the third leading cause of infective endocarditis–associated glomerulonephritis and the most common cause among culture-negative cases. Most cases involve tricuspid, aortic and mitral valves. We report an unusual case of pulmonic valve infective endocarditis causing acute kidney injury due to antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody–associated pauci-immune glomerulonephritis. Urinary sediment microscopy findings raised clinical suspicion before fever or other signs of infection appeared. The case also highlights the importance of recognition of histopathologic patterns of injury in infective endocarditis–associated glomerulonephritis, the caveats about testing for Bartonella species infections, and the diagnostic value of nuclear medicine in this setting.
Vitamin C–Induced Oxalate Nephropathy: An Underappreciated Consequence of Dietary Supplements | Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Oxalate nephropathy is an uncommon and often-missed cause of acute kidney injury. A careful history of medications, and especially dietary supplements, including vitamin C and turmeric, both of which can lead to renal deposition of oxalate, is essential to diagnosing this rare but potentially increasing cause of acute kidney injury. Here, we report a case of vitamin C–induced oxalate nephropathy leading to acute kidney injury requiring hemodialysis.
Eggerthella lenta Bacteremia in a Patient With Adenocarcinoma of the Rectosigmoid Colon: A Case Report and Review of Management Challenges | Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
We present a case of sepsis secondary to Eggerthella lenta bacteremia in a patient with newly diagnosed adenocarcinoma of the rectosigmoid colon. Management involved antibiotic escalation from piperacillin-tazobactam to meropenem, resulting in resolution of sepsis and clearance of the bacteremia. This case highlights the association between E lenta bacteremia and gastrointestinal malignancies. It also emphasizes the importance of timely diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic therapy.
Recurrent Pain and Heat Retention as Indications of Acquired Idiopathic Generalized Anhidrosis | Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis is a rare disease worldwide. It is typically seen in young men. The patient in this case has generalized anhidrosis. Cholinergic urticaria is often associated with this disease, causing recurrent pain, itching, decreased sweating, and hyperthermia. In this case, a 52-year-old man had recurrent generalized pain, itching, and fever for 10 years, especially after exposure to excessive heat from exercise or environmental factors. Increased regular temperature measurements due to the COVID-19 pandemic and recognition of high body temperature as well as the pain becoming more pronounced, led to the diagnosis of acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis.
Novel Presentation to a Rare Disease: Refractory Seizures Caused by Rosai–Dorfman Disease | Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Rosai–Dorfman disease (RDD) is a non-Langerhans lymphoproliferative disorder that is defined by sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy. It can present with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations depending on the organ systems affected. Definitive diagnosis of RDD can be established only by tissue biopsy. Surgical excision is the definitive treatment of localized RDD. We present a case of uncontrolled seizures caused by RDD. Despite surgical excision and multiple antiepileptic agents, the seizure disorder remained uncontrolled. Subsequently, the refractory seizures responded to systemic chemotherapy with rituximab, which has not yet been approved for the treatment of RDD.
Autoimmune Ascites, a Manifestation of an Overlap Syndrome: Diffuse Systemic Sclerosis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus | Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
We report a rare case of autoimmune ascites in a 72-year-old woman presenting an overlap syndrome involving diffuse systemic sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus. The diagnostic complexity of overlapping systemic autoimmune diseases and challenges in identifying the predominant disease are highlighted. This case emphasizes the necessity of a comprehensive evaluation in unraveling complex overlap syndromes in autoimmune conditions.
IgG4-Related Disease Mimicking a Malignant Brain Tumor | Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Immunoglobulin G4–related disease (IgG4-RD) presents diversely and can affect almost any organ system, yet direct brain parenchymal involvement is not described frequently in the literature. This case outlines the successful treatment of IgG4-RD manifesting as an enhancing left temporal mass in a man in his late 60s who presented with the symptoms of confusion and headaches. A full recovery was achieved with steroids and rituximab, underscoring the importance of recognizing brain involvement in IgG4-RD and the potential for treatment success with this regimen.
Hepatic Chylothorax in a 73-Year-Old Man With Undiagnosed Cirrhosis | Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Chylothorax is a specific type of pleural effusion characterized by the accumulation of chyle in the pleural cavity. We wish to present an unusual case of chylothorax in a 73-year-old man who presented with generalized body swelling and right chylothorax without ascites. After conducting a comprehensive investigation to identify the root causes of chylothorax, a liver biopsy was done with results consistent with liver cirrhosis. In this case, we discuss the patient's complicated medical history, the diagnostic process, and the multidisciplinary approach to managing hepatic chylothorax.
Nonuremic Idiopathic Calciphylaxis in a Patient With Preceding Warfarin Use and Iron Infusions | Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Calciphylaxis is a rare and life-threatening illness characterized by microvessel occlusion due to calcification, fibro-intimal hyperplasia, and thrombosis in the subcutaneous adipose tissue and dermis. Calciphylaxis is most commonly associated with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and other risk factors, including obesity, diabetes mellitus, primary hyperparathyroidism, warfarin use, and with a potential link to iron infusions and loop diuretics. We report on a patient with nonuremic, idiopathic calciphylaxis with exposure to warfarin, iron infusion therapy, and loop diuretics, treated with sodium thiosulfate. We further discuss the potential risk factors for calciphylaxis development in nonuremic patients.
Cardiac Tamponade in Catastrophic Adult-Onset Still Disease With Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis/Macrophage Activation Syndrome: A Clinical, Histopathologic, and Immunologic Profile | Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Catastrophic adult-onset Still disease (AOSD) is a severe form of AOSD with organ failure. We describe a 27-year-old healthy man who presented with recurrent fevers, a rash, a sore throat, and hepatomegaly, suggestive of AOSD. With worsening disease, he developed a large pericardial effusion with tamponade, requiring a pericardial window. We detail the clinical features of AOSD along with the first description, to our knowledge, of the histopathology of the pericardial tissue and the cytokine analysis of the pericardial fluid.
