An ongoing outbreak of a novel coronavirus disease (coronavirus 2019, COVID-19) has become global threat. While clinical reports from China to date demonstrate that the majority cases remain relatively mild and recover with supportive care, it is also crucial be well prepared for severe warranting intensive care. Initiating appropriate infection control measures may not always achievable in primary care or acute-care settings.A 45-year-old man was admitted unit due pneumonia, later confirmed...
Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra)-deficient BALB/c mice develop spontaneous arthritis resembling human rheumatoid arthritis. We herein report that infection with Toxoplasma gondii, an intracellular protozoan, is capable of ameliorating the development in IL-1Ra-deficient mice. The onset was delayed and severity score significantly suppressed T. gondii-infected Expression IL-12p40 mRNA from CD11c(+) cells mesenteric lymph nodes (mLN) spleen markedly increased at week after peroral...
We reported, in our previous study, a patient with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who was successfully treated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Data on clinical courses and outcomes of critically ill patients COVID-19 Japan are limited the literature. This study aimed to describe Tokyo, Japan.This is single-center case series study. Patients mechanical ventilation (MV) were reviewed retrospectively. baseline characteristics, in-hospital treatment, collected.Between February 2, 2020,...
Liposomal-amphotericin B (L-AmB) is used for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL); however, its treatment failure has not yet been described in detail. A 58-year-old man returned from the Republic of Venezuela with a ulcer on his left lower leg. The causative pathogen was Leishmania braziliensis. We started L-AmB 3 mg/kg/day 6 days; did resolve. patient successfully retreated higher dose 4 9 times (total, 36 mg/kg). If fails to treat CL and other therapeutics cannot be used, increasing viable option.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was first reported in China and subsequently spread worldwide. In Japan, many clusters occurred during the wave 2020. We describe investigation of an early outbreak a Tokyo hospital.A COVID-19 two wards hospital from April to May Confirmed cases were individuals with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection linked Wards A B, contacts patients or workers B weeks before index developed...
Most mediastinal abscesses result from infections after thoracotomy, esophageal perforation or penetrating chest trauma. This disease is rarely caused by closed blunt All previously reported such cases trauma presented with hematoma and sternal osteomyelitis resulting fracture. Here we report a 15-year-old sumo wrestler who an anterior abscess without any The resulted the hematogenous spread of Staphylococcus aureus to that might have been incurred during wrestling exercises.
大腸癌発癌の一因として,日本住血吸虫感染症が指摘されている.今回,癌部に日本住血吸虫卵を認めた同時性多発大腸癌の1例を経験したので報告する.症例は79歳男性,18歳まで日本住血吸虫の流行地であった山梨県甲府盆地に居住していた.健診での便潜血の精査で進行S状結腸癌および早期下行結腸癌と診断した.内視鏡的切除を行った下行結腸M癌の病理組織において,茎部・粘膜筋板直下に日本住血吸虫卵を認めた.同時に切除した大腸腺腫4カ所には虫卵はなかった.S状結腸癌に対しては,腹腔鏡下S状結腸切除術を行った.病理所見は,中分化管状腺癌,type2,45×35mm,SS,N1(1/13)であり,H0,P0,M0,fStage IIIaであった.S状結腸癌病巣の一部および周囲粘膜筋板直下にも日本住血吸虫卵を認めた.虫卵の存在と発癌の関与が示唆された.
Non-serogroupable Neisseria meningitidis (N. meningitidis), the most common type of N. in asymptomatic carriers, rarely causes infections. Most reported cases infection are patients with immunodeficiency, primarily complement deficiencies.A 54-year-old immunocompetent man was transferred to our hospital treat severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The patient presented cough producing a large amount purulent sputum, which considered an atypical presentation COVID-19. Gram staining...
Abstract Background Several cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated leukoencephalopathy have been reported. Although most involve hypoxia, the pathophysiological mechanism and neurologic outcomes COVID-19-associated remain unclear. Case presentation We report a case without severe hypoxia in 65-year-old woman diagnosed with pyelonephritis.
