Catheter-related sepsis due to Rhodotorula glutinis.
We describe a central venous catheter-related (Port-A-Cath; Smiths Industries Medical Systems [SIMS] Deltec, Inc., St. Paul, Minn.) infection caused by Rhodotorula glutinis in a 51-year-old man with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. He was treated with fluconazole for 8 weeks and had the catheter removed. Two isolates of R. glutinis recovered from blood specimens (one obtained via peripheral veins and ...
متن کاملCarbon monoxide concentrations in paediatric sepsis syndrome.
Plasma carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations were measured in 12 patients with sepsis syndrome. CO concentrations were found to be significantly increased in patients compared with those in 30 normal controls. Patients with septic shock had significantly higher plasma CO concentrations than those without shock. Results suggest that CO might play an important role in paediatric sepsis syndrome.
متن کاملCatheter sepsis due to Mycobacterium chelonae.
We read with interest the recent article by Hsueh et al. on catheter sepsis due to Mycobacterium chelonae (3). In the antimicrobial susceptibility section, the clarithromycin MIC is reported to be 1.5 to 2.0 mg/ml. The authors later state, “. . . our isolates were not susceptible to any of the antibiotics tested, including clarithromycin.” In another study (1), which found 100% of M. chelonae i...
متن کاملevaluation of fibronectin and c-reactive protein levels in patients with sepsis: a case-control study
sepsis is a significant health problem with an estimated 750,000 new cases in the usa annually. it is also the third leading cause of death in developed countries, equaling the number of fatalities from acute myocardial infarction. the high sepsis-related mortalities mean there is an urgent need to improve the diagnosis and management of sepsis patients. the aim of this study was the evaluation...
متن کاملDecreased plasma fibronectin concentrations in preterm infants with septicaemia.
Changes in plasma fibronectin concentrations were determined during bacterial septicaemia in extremely preterm infants. The study was a prospective study of fibronectin concentrations in infants of less than 30 weeks' gestation. Concentrations were determined at birth, before sepsis, and throughout the episode of sepsis. Fibronectin concentrations at birth or immediately before sepsis were not ...
