RESUMO
Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus is a beta-haemolytic, group C streptococcal bacterium. Although it is an opportunistic pathogen commonly found in horses, transmission to human can lead to severe infections. Here, we present a patient with S. equi subspecies zooepidemicus bacteraemia and consequent development of mycotic aneurysms.

Type B lactic acidosis is a rare metabolic complication of malignancy, more commonly in haematological malignancies. Due to the lack of formal prospective trials, treatment of lactic acidosis associated with malignancy is based on case reports. Given the poor prognosis, early recognition of type B lactic acidosis and prompt treatment are crucial. We report the first case of type B lactic acidosis in metastatic melanoma, followed by a brief literature review on the proposed pathophysiology and treatment.
