When the lung is affected, the clinical manifestations are nonspecific and include coughing, dyspnoea, and haemoptysis. Plain chest radiology u...
متن کاملSurgical images: soft tissue. Tension pyopneumothorax.
A 49-year-old man had a productive cough, chills, fever, weakness, exertional dyspnea and pleuritic chest pain for 4 weeks. The patient was afebrile. Breath sounds were diminished over the right chest area. The patient’s leukocyte count was 45 ∞ 109/L. Chest radiographs (Fig. 1) showed apical pneumothorax, an air–fluid level with opacity of the right lower chest field and mediastinal shift to t...
متن کاملHeparinase production by anaerobic bacteria.
The production of heparinase by a wide range of anaerobic bacteria isolated from clinical specimens was investigated. None of the 29 strains of Bacteroides fragilis produced heparinase. Of 62 other Bacteroides tested, only two of four strains of B ovatus, two of three strains of B thetaiotaomicron, and two of four strains of B uniformis were heparinase producers. None of the 48 strains of fusob...
متن کاملExtracellular deoxyribonuclease production by anaerobic bacteria.
The production of extracellular deoxyribonuclease was examined with anaerobic organisms isolated from clinical specimens. Nuclease activity was extraordinarily common. All strains of Fusobacterium, including eight species, as well as Bacteroides fragilis and B. melaninogenicus, displayed enzyme activity. Whereas the gram-positive bacteria were generally less productive, all strains of Clostridi...
