Abstract Background Tuberculosis represents a serious public health problem and significant diagnostic therapeutic challenge worldwide. Molecular techniques are crucial in the World Health Organization’s new tuberculosis control strategy. This study aims to evaluate performance of GeneXpert MTB/RIF (Cepheid Sunnyvale, CA, United States) diagnosis extra-pulmonary then compare it’s detecting Rifampicin resistance GenoType MTBDRplus (HAIN Life Sciences, Nehren, Germany). Methods Samples from...
Bacterial urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, ranging from benign cystitis to complicated pyelonephritis, which can lead severe complications such as pyonephrosis and sepsis. Pyonephrosis, characterized by the presence of pus in renal cavities, often requires urgent urological intervention. We report a unique case with psoas abscess caused Klebsiella pneumoniae Peribacillus simplex 64-year-old diabetic female patient. This is first P. simplex. The patient presented acute right lumbar...
Introduction: Salmonellosis typically presents as typhoid fever or gastroenteritis, with complications being relatively rare. Pleural complications, in particular, are exceptionally uncommon. We report a rare case of purulent pleurisy caused by Salmonella choleraesuis ssp. arizonae. Case report: A 50-year-old woman, history breast cancer treated chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and ongoing hemodialysis for chronic renal insufficiency, was admitted to the medical-surgical emergency department due...
Tuberculosis remains one of the world's leading causes morbidity and mortality. It occurs in both pulmonary extra-pulmonary forms. Primary iliac bone tuberculosis a rare clinical entity, even endemic areas. The diagnosis disease can be challenging due to its similarity other diseases. We report case primary 63-year-old patient who was on peritoneal dialysis, had medical history hypertension, type II diabetes, which complicated by diabetic retinopathy kidney disease. Magnetic resonance...
2. Abstract Extrapulmonary tuberculosis often presents as lymphadenitis. In the head and neck area, tuberculous involvement of parotid gland is rare challenging to diagnose due non specific symptoms, which can be confused with a tumor. Tuberculous conjunctivitis, although uncommon, should considered in cases chronic, treatment-resistant conjunctivitis. The association primary conjunctival exceptional. They are difficult non-specificity their clinical, biological radiological signs. We report...
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. It a major public health problem, and one of world's leading causes morbidity mortality. occurs in both pulmonary extra-pulmonary forms, form being most common. Primary iliac bone remains rare clinical entity, even endemic areas. Its diagnosis can be challenging due to its similarity other conditions. We report case primary 63-year-old patient on peritoneal dialysis, with following medical history:...
The Group A Streptococcus (GAS), also known as
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing
Shewanella putrefaciens is a Gram-negative bacillus and marine pathogen that rarely causes disease in humans. We report the first Moroccan case of multidrug-resistant bacteremia describe bacteriological, clinical, antibiogram characteristics this isolate, which was repeatedly isolated from blood 66-year-old hypertensive man who underwent femoral coronary angiography after myocardial infarction.
Tuberculosis poses a considerable public health problem in countries where the disease is endemic. Osteoarticular tuberculosis represents 3-5 % of all cases and 10-15 extra-pulmonary cases. Involvement foot ankle rarer. We report case osteoarticular 71-year-old patient with type 2 diabetes hypertension who presented to trauma department Mohammed V Military Hospital painful swelling ankle. Standard X-rays computed tomography scans showed inflammatory involvement bone joints. Antitubercular...
Brucellosis is the most prevalent bacterial zoonosis worldwide. The WHO estimates that infection responsible for more than 500 000 cases per year across world [1]. Hematological complications like mild anemia and leukopenia have been frequently associated with acute brucellosis, but pancytopenia thrombocytopenia are less encountered [2]. We reporting case of a 73 old male patient, revealed brucellosis. Following 6 weeks antibiotic therapy, our patient showed favorable clinical outcome,...
Breast tuberculosis is a rare entity even in endemic countries. It often considered as diagnostic conundrum given the non-specific clinical and imaging characteristics. Therefore, definitive diagnosis based on identification of bacilli by microbiological or histopathological examination. We report case 52-year-old woman, with 2-month history painful lump left breast. The features were consistent breast abscess. purulent collection was aspirated tuberculous mammary abscess diagnosed molecular...
Urinary tract infection is very common and the second most frequent reason for consultation in office-based practice. The incidence varies from one country to another. diffusion of MDR community complicates therapeutic management. objective this study was describe bacterial epidemiology determine risk factors acquisition urinary infections our region.This a retrospective case-control conducted bacteriology laboratory Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital over an 8-month period 01 October...
Escherichia coli is a rare cause of infectious endocarditis. We report clinical case E. endocarditis native mitral valve in young 26-year-old woman with recurrent urinary tract infection who had high fever for one week despite probabilistic treatment amoxcillin-clavulanic acid 3 g per day. The patient was successfully treated antibiotics and recovered without surgery.
Pasteurella pneumotropica is an important bacterial pathogen in both animals and humans. Most reported infections humans involve skin soft tissues, often after animal bite, scratch, or lick to open wound. We report a case of septic arthritis with diabetic cardiopathic patient who was the victim rat bite street, good evolution medical surgical treatment.
The Group A Streptococcus, also known as Streptococcus pyogenes, is a human pathogen causing various infections, ranging from mild, such tonsillitis and impetigo, to severe invasive conditions like septicemia necrotizing fasciitis. Despite decline in incidence severity during the 20th century due antibiotics, there has been reported increase cases since 1980s industrialized countries. This summary highlights case of infection 28-year-old diagnosed at microbiology laboratory Mohammed V...
Tuberculosis is a major public health concern. Morocco tuberculosis endemic country; nearly 30000 cases are recorded each year, pulmonary represents 57%, extrapulmonary 43%. Cutaneous localization exceptional; it 0.5 to 2% of tuberculosis. It very difficult diagnose, given the variability clinical presentation, and based on combining clinical, radiological biological arguments. In this study we report rare case cutaneous occurring in patient with history sarcoidosis, personal treated 2017,...
Appendicitis, typically caused by appendiceal lumen obstruction, is a prevalent abdominal surgical emergency worldwide. While most cases involve Enterobacterales, Haemophilus influenzae, primarily known for upper respiratory infections, infrequently associated with gastrointestinal infections. This article presents case of acute appendicitis influenzae in 15-year-old child, highlighting the significance recognizing uncommon pathogens and emphasizing necessity thorough microbiological...
Introduction. Peritonitis is characterized by acute inflammation of the peritoneum, often resulting from digestive organ perforation or intra-abdominal septic focus. It may be either infectious noninfectious origin. The germs involved are those flora (Enterobacteriaceae and Anaerobic), while gram-positive cocci yeasts can isolated in nosocomial infections. Our study aims to isolate identify community-acquired peritonitis, order assess their susceptibility antibiotics available our Country....
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) are a major public health problem in hospitals and the community. The objective of this work was to describe epidemiology ESBL enterobacteria, study their resistance profile determine genes encoding phenotype. This is retrospective conducted bacteriology laboratory Military Hospital Instruction Mohamed V Rabat, covering all isolates from 01/01/2018 31/12/2020. molecular involved representative sample isolates. overall...

Cutaneous localization exceptional; it 0.5% to 2% of tuberculosis. It very difficult diagnose, given the variability clinical presentation. We report rare case cutaneous in patient with history pulmonary and sarcoidosis.
