    Clinical correlation is essential in assessing the relevance of the patient’s history and physical findings in making a clinical presumptive diagnosis. False diagnostic associations may result in misdiagnosis.We present a case of an elderly female with HIV on HAART who presented with shortness of breath assumed to have Pneumocystis (carinii) jiroveci pneumonia (PCP) even though she had a clinical diagnosis of influenza B. She was thought to have PCP only because she had HIV. Tests for PCP were negative including BAL staining. Influenza B present in her respiratory secretions by PCR and was also cultured from BAL fluid. Diagnostic associations are helpful in suggesting diagnostic possibilities but must be supported by clinical correlation of characteristic clinical features.

    Lyme disease may present with a variety of cardiac manifestations ranging from first degree to third degree heart block. Cardiac involvement with Lyme disease may be asymptomatic, or symptomatic. Atrioventrical conduction abnormalities are the most common manifestation of Lyme carditis. Less common, are alternating right bundle branch block (RBBB) and left bundle branch block (LBBB). We present an interesting case of a young male whose main manifestation of Lyme carditis was isolated LBBB. He also had mild Lyme myocarditis. The patient was successfully treated with oral doxycycline, and his isolated LBBB and myocarditis rapidly resolved
