Background:
Hemorrhagic Hereditary Telangiectasia (HHT), or Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by mucocutaneous telangiectasias and visceral arteriovenous malformations.
Aim And Methods:
We describe the case of a 64-year old woman in which radiology was useful to interpret an apparently unexplained constellation of symptoms.
Results:
Brain MRI showing ischemic stroke, pulmonary angiography demonstrating arteriovenous malformations, and capsule endoscopy detecting telangiectasias in the jejunum, along with a clinical history of recurrent epistaxis, allowed us to diagnose HHT.
Conclusions:
HHT is rare and difficult to diagnose. Radiology can aid the clinical suspicion. www.actabiomedica.it.

For bacterial pneumonia, antibiotics serve as the cornerstone of therapy. Initial treatment often begins with empirical antibiotics, tailored to the anticipated causative organism and adjusted based on culture results. Key antibiotic choices include:
