Human pythiosis is an infectious condition with high morbidity and mortality. The causative agent the oomycete microorganism Pythium insidiosum . pathogen inhabits ubiquitously in a wet environment, direct exposure to initiates infection. Most patients require surgical removal of affected organ, many die from disease. Awareness among healthcare personnel increasing. In this review, we summarized updated information on diagnosis treatment human pythiosis. Vascular ocular are common clinical...
Rhodotorula spp are uncommon yeasts able to cause infections with high mortality rates. have been associated the presence of central venous catheter (CVC), immunosuppression, exposure antifungals and either solid or haematologic malignancies. However, in this latter setting, only a few cases so far reported.We conducted survey for patients.Patients' clinical microbiological data were collected correlated outcome.A total 27 detected from 13 tertiary care hospitals. About 78% 89% patients had...
Vascular pythiosis is a life-threatening infection caused by the oomycete Pythium insidiosum. This article reports clinical presentation, serodiagnosis, pathology, and outcomes seen at authors' institution.The cases of patients with proven vascular Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand from January 2006 to December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively.Thirteen analyzed, eight whom had underlying thalassemias. Of remaining five patients, one aplastic anemia,...
Vascular Pythiosis caused by Pythium insiodiosum rarely involves carotid artery. A case of concealed ruptured pseudoaneurysm the artery with neck abscesses, and cerebral septic emboli is described. Patient presented large pulsatile mass that failed to response surgery, antifungals immunotherapeutic vaccine. Residual unresectable disease leads death in patient. should be considered as a differential diagnosis head infection.
Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important cause of infectious complications after kidney transplantation (KT), especially among patients receiving antithymocyte globulin (ATG). CMV infection can result in organ dysfunction and indirect effects such as graft rejection, failure, opportunistic infections . Prevention reactivation includes pre-emptive or prophylactic approaches. Access to valganciclovir prophylaxis limited by high cost. Our objective determine the burden cost treatment...
Mucormycosis is a life-threatening disease requiring multimodal treatment with antifungals and surgery. The mortality rate remains high, prompting consideration of alternative strategies. Deferiprone has in vitro activity against Mucorales, but its efficacy never been evaluated humans. Here, we retrospectively analyzed patients confirmed mucormycosis who received deferiprone from 2011 to 2017. Five had hematologic malignancies one was diabetic. sites infection included sinus-orbit-cerebral...
Melioidosis, the disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei is endemic in Northeastern part of Thailand, South-East Asia, and Northern Australia. The pelvic involvement rare even an area. Therefore, we describe this report clinical presentation, management, outcome patient with primary tubo-ovarian abscess due to melioidosis. A 31-year-old Thai cassava farmer woman presented fever abdominal pain at left lower quadrant for one month. She also had pain, swelling, redness genitalia without any...
Malakoplakia in an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patient with disseminated Mycobacterium simiae infection presented a large pelvic mass that caused organ dysfunction from mimicking tumor. is rare, chronic granulomatous abnormal host response toward infectious agents, presenting as tumor-like lesion. This the first report of malakoplakia after M. AIDS patient.
Sarcocystosis is an uncommon zoonotic coccidian protozoal infection caused by Sarcocystis spp. Muscular sarcocystosis have been detected in patients with various types of cancer but co-infection histoplasmosis has never reported. We report a 39-year-old woman active lupus nephritis who presented hoarseness for eleven months. Physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging revealed irregular exophytic mass at the left oropharynx true vocal cord. The histopathologic diagnosis was...
Background: Varicella zoster (VZV) is a potentially life-threatening infection after kidney transplantation (KT) but data on the incidence and outcome of late KT VZV limited. Methods: A retrospective study disseminated (D-VZV) in post patients (pt) during 2003-2013. Acyclovir prophylaxis was given routinely for 6 months KT. Statistical analyses were performed by SPSS. Results: Cumulative D-VZV 2% [22/1032 pts]. Pts median age 40 (21-67) years old 12(55%) male. Timing mostly (68.2%) (>1 year)...
