We report a case of Staphylococcus aureus infective
endocarditis in a patient presenting with fever and rare
cutaneous manifestations of Osler Nodes and Janeway
Lesions. There had not been any distinct risk factors. His
echocardiography subsequently revealed vegetation at the
anterior mitral valve leaflet. As Staphylococcus aureus
infective endocarditis is of utmost significance in morbidity
and mortality, a sharp clinical acumen and follow up
investigations is required alongside a prolonged course of
antibiotics. Our patient was then started on intravenous
cloxacillin for 28 days and gentamicin for 5 days to which he
made good progress and recovery.

Recent advances in endoscopic imaging of the esophagus have revolutionized the diagnostic capability for detecting premalignant changes and early esophageal malignancy. In this article, we review the practical application of narrow-band imaging focusing on diseases of the esophagus, including Barrett’s esophagus, adenocarcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.
