Abstract Introduction Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a fungal infection that particularly affects immunocompromised hosts. Recently, several studies have indicated high incidence of IA in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. However, few data are available on the epidemiology and outcome patients with this setting. Methods An observational study including all positive Aspergillus culture during ICU stay was performed 30 ICUs 8 countries. Cases were classified as proven IA, putative or...
We aimed to develop an easily deployable artificial intelligence (AI)-driven model for rapid prediction of urine culture test results.
A Gram-stain-positive, obligately anaerobic, short rod, designated strain HHRM1715(T), was isolated from the blood of a patient with Fournier's gangrene, complicated by sepsis. On basis 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, HHRM1715(T) shown to belong genus Atopobium and most closely related minutum (95 % similarity). The results rRNA-gene-based phylogenetic cellular fatty acid analysis differential biochemical tests, showed that represented novel species Atopobium. We therefore describe deltae...
A male renal transplant patient developed a tumor on the dorsum of his right hand. After excision, histological examination showed hyphal structures, but growth very slowly. Therapy consisted surgery alone. definitive identification Alternaria infectoria was only possible with molecular techniques.
ABSTRACT Pseudoclavibacter spp. are Gram-positive, aerobic, catalase-positive, coryneform bacteria belonging to the family of Microbacteriaceae . Identification these species with conventional biochemical assays is difficult. This case report a bifida bacteremia occurring in an immunocompromised host diagnosed acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lethal outcome, confirms that this organism may be human pathogen.
Two colorimetric broth microdilution antifungal susceptibility tests were compared, Sensititre YeastOne and MICRONAUT-AM for nine agents. One hundred clinical Candida isolates tested, representing a realistic population testing in daily practice. The reproducibility characteristics comparable. Only fluconazole, caspofungin, 5-flucytosine amphotericin B, an essential agreement of ≥90% could be demonstrated. minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) systematically higher than MICRONAUT MICs all...
Only a handful of cases human Candida lambica infections have been published up to now. We report fungemia in young intravenous drug abuser. Using popular chromogenic agar and commercial phenotyping gallery, the fungus was initially misidentified as krusei. Key tests distinguish these closely related species are maximum growth temperature assimilation certain substrates present more elaborate assays. Definite confirmation is possible using molecular techniques. Susceptibility testing isolate...
Atopobium species are Gram-positive, anaerobic, catalase-negative, fastidious bacteria belonging to the family Coriobacteriaceae. We report isolation of an Atopobium-like in a patient with Fournier's gangrene and highlight role 16S rRNA gene sequencing identification organisms clinical laboratory.
Background The knowledge of circulating HCV genotypes and subtypes in a country is crucial to guide antiviral therapy understand local epidemiology. Studies investigating their trends have been conducted Belgium. However they are outdated, lack nationwide representativeness or were not the general population. Methods In order determine distribution different Belgium, we multicentre study with all 19 Belgian laboratories performing reimbursed genotyping assays. Available genotype subtype data...
We report what we consider to be the first case of an abscess thyroid gland due Campylobacter fetus subsp. (C. fetus) in a patient suffering from hyperthyroidism. C. is known as rare and opportunistic pathogen humans, causing broad variety systemic infections. Acquisition by humans thought occur through contact with animals or animal products start gastro-intestinal colonization. The detection stool challenging, since culture efforts are generally directed order fulfil growth requirements...
AbstractBone marrow and peripheral blood from a myelodysplastic syndrome patient with trisomy 13 monoclonal B lymphocytes (without evidence of systemic lymphoma) were investigated for clonal lymphoid lineage involvement using interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) X-chromosome inactivation assay (HUMARA) on CD19+ CD34+ sorted cells. Trisomy was detected 55% cells 5.5% cells, the latter being comparable to negative control specimen. showed both be monoclonal, though their...
The clinical spectrum of meningococcal infection ranges from asymptomatic carriage to fulminant sepsis, with meningitis and septicemia being well-recognized presentations. Meningococcal arthritis as a complication Neisseria meningitidis occurs in about 2-10 % cases, whereas primary (PMA) is relatively rare phenomenon, even children. We report here case an immunocompetent adolescent suffering acute pain the right hip only symptom upon presentation at hospital. In such situation, meningococci...
We describe a case of 52-year-old man presenting with bilateral adrenal masses. A Histoplasma capsulatum infection was diagnosed on the basis culture, pathological findings, antigen detection and molecular testing. The patient treated itraconazole initially showed good response. However, after discontinuation one year therapy, relapse seen therapy restarted.This illustrates that histoplasmosis should be considered in differential diagnosis patients enlargement. Of all diagnostic tests are...
Background Current method for diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection is an RT-PCR test on the nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swab. Rapid essential containing viral spread and triage symptomatic patients presenting to hospital ER departments. As a faster alternative RT-PCR, we evaluated SARS-Cov-2 Antigen in departments.Methods We diagnostic performance Roche (SD Biosensor) detection compared RT-PCR.Results Our study showed inferior SARS-CoV-2. Firstly, because lack specificity, which potentially...
A 13-year-old girl with chronic anaemia showed features of congenital dyserythropoietic (CDA) type II. The main clinical and haematological findings were splenomegaly, a mild microcytic anaemia, numerous bizarre binucleate normoblasts in the bone marrow. acidified serum lysis test (Ham’s test) performed 5 normal sera was positive. patient’s red blood cells markedly increased expression i cell antigen.
