A 54-year-old woman presented with a 4-month history of progressively worsening asthenia and falls and 5 days of dyspnea. On exam, there was also head drop and mild symmetric weakness of the proximal upper and lower limbs. The creatine kinase level was 373 U per liter (reference range, 24 to 173). Magnetic resonance imaging of the head and cervical spine was notable for fatty infiltration of the tongue and paravertebral muscles. What is the most likely disease category?

A 46-year-old man with chronic kidney disease presented with a 2-year history of painless shortening and rounding of the fingertips. Ten years earlier, he had received a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease due to obstructive nephropathy from nephrolithiasis. Since then, he had been intermittently lost to follow-up. On physical examination, all the fingertips were short, broad, and bulbous, with a pseudoclubbing appearance. The toes had similar but less severe changes.

A 61-year-old man with prolonged neutropenia as a result of salvage chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia was evaluated on hospital day 37 for persistent neutropenic fever despite treatment with broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents. Physical exam was notable for a lesion with central necrosis on the chest and a similar lesion on the left palm. A serum 1,3-β-D-glucan level was elevated, and a galactomannan was negative. Computed tomography of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis was performed. Gram’s staining of blood culture revealed septate, hyaline hyphae. What is the most likely causative organism?
