Campylobacter species are the pathogens of intestinal tract, which infrequently cause bacteremia. To reveal clinical characteristics bacteremia, we performed a retrospective, multicenter study. Patients diagnosed with bacteremia in three general hospitals western Japan between 2011 and 2021 were included Clinical, microbiological, prognostic data patients obtained from medical records. We stratified cases into gastroenteritis (GE) fever predominant (FP) types by focusing on presence...
ABSTRACT Corynebacterium striatum can cause postoperative empyema. C. ‐associated empyema may be associated with osteomyelitis. Rifampicin is a viable therapeutic option for infection.
The worldwide spread of tick-borne diseases (TBDs) has become a public health concern. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify trends in the incidence Japanese spotted fever (JSF), one Japan's most prevalent TBDs. Weekly infectious disease reports were used calculate annual rates (AIRs) JSF. Data stratified by age and sex, joinpoint regression analysis was performed estimate percentage change (APC). AIR APC geographically compared among 47 prefectures. A total 3,453 JSF cases observed from...
Abstract This study examined temporal trend, seasonality, and geographical variations of legionellosis incidence mortality in Japan. nationwide observational used the Japanese Vital Statistics Infectious Diseases Weekly Report (1999–2017) data to calculate crude age-adjusted rates per 100,000 population by age sex. Incidence was compared among 4 seasons regional 47 prefectures. Of 13,613 (11,194 men) people with Japan, 725 (569 were fatal. Increasing trend occurred from 0.0004 (1999) 1.37...
We have isolated a blaNDM-1-harbouring ST147 Klebsiella pneumoniae strain from Ukrainian immigrant hospitalized at Japanese hospital, which was genetically corroborated to be highly identical Russian-derived isolate. This case highlights that the geopolitical risk potentially increases global dissemination of antimicrobial resistance pathogens.
Abstract Background We aimed to improve the prognosis, treatment, and management of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) by evaluating association between adherence quality indicators (QIs) clinical outcomes in patients with their outcomes. Methods retrospectively collected microbiological data on hospitalized SAB from 14 hospitals (three > 600, two 401–600, five 201–400, four ≤ 200 beds) Japan January December 2022. The was evaluated using SAB-QI score (ranging 0 13 points), which...
Abstract Tuberculous meningitis is possibly complicated with multiple cerebral infarctions and basal meningitis, the mortality neurological prognosis reportedly poor. This case suggested that clinicians should consider tuberculous as a differential diagnosis of patients disturbed consciousness in an aging country Japan.
Escherichia coli-associated native-valve infective endocarditis is a rare disease that affects elderly patients with underlying risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, malignancy, and renal failure. Long-term use of calcium polystyrene sulfonate potential factor for gastrointestinal mucosal damage or even colorectal ulcers. Herein, we describe fatal case 66-year-old Japanese man mellitus failure who was prescribed (CPS) 11 years developed CPS-induced rectal ulcer, leading to E. coli...
Abstract Purpose Following the COVID-19 pandemic, group A Streptococcus (GAS) infection has been surging worldwide. We aimed to compare disease burden between notified cases of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) and unreported GAS infections. Methods This is a multicentral observational study, retrospectively performed at seven hospitals in Okayama prefecture Japan from January 2022, June 2024. Clinical microbiological data patients with positive cultures were collected medical...

Antimicrobial resistance is an emerging global threat that must be addressed using a multidisciplinary approach. This study aimed to raise awareness of high-level antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) pathogens in Japan by comparing their recent prevalences among prefectures, particularly Okayama. Data for the isolation proportions meropenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, cefotaxime-resistant Escherichia coli...
Typhoid fever is one of the representative febrile diseases in tropical and subtropical countries with poor hygiene. Among anaemic conditions involving patients typhoid fever, autoimmune hemolytic anaemia would be potential causes absence G6PD deficiency or intestinal haemorrhage.
Octreotide is used in patients with insulinomas to treat hypoglycemia, and somatostatin receptor (SSTR) 2 expression important for its efficacy. We report a case of insulinoma 50-year-old woman that responded an octreotide test, showed accumulation scintigraphy, was positive SSTR2A on immunostaining.
