A case of septic arthritis post anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction secondary to Clostridium sporogenes is described in a 19-year-old man. C rare clinical pathogen and this believed be the first due organism. The patient responded arthroscopic washout, synovectomy combination antibiotic therapy. review literature also presented.
Pyogenic liver abscesses are uncommon in clinical practice and usually polymicrobial nature, with members of the Enterobacteriacae family often implicated. This report describes use tigecycline to treat a abscess caused by meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus , which was refractory therapy standard antimicrobials.
In 2018, a cluster of two cases cryptococcosis occurred at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH) in Glasgow, Scotland (UK). It was postulated that these may have been linked to pigeon droppings found on hospital site, given there previous reports Cryptococcus neoformans associated with guano. Although some samples guano taken from site yielded culturable yeast genera related Cryptococcus, they since classified as Naganishia or Papiliotrema spp., and no isolates C. were recovered...
Background Water is a product taken for granted and assumed to be safe commodity in intensive care units (ICU). Biofilm readily becomes established complex water services presenting risk vulnerable patients. Harboured within biofilms are opportunistic pathogens which can transmitted via hand contact, splashing, aerosol indirect contact through medical equipment. Evidence linking the role of transmission infection patients ICUs has increased recent years. Aims This research based commentary...
Following the advent of antibiotics, pneumococcal pericarditis has become a rare clinical diagnosis. We discuss 2 cases that were preceded by community-acquired pneumonia. Cultures negative in both patients and diagnosis was made antigen testing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) pericardial fluid. PCR or fluid for pneumococci should be considered with typical history, particularly when culture-negative history prior antibiotics.
