متن کاملStaphylococcus saprophyticus Bacteremia originating from Urinary Tract Infections: A Case Report and Literature Review
Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a common pathogen of acute urinary tract infection (UTI) in young females. However, S. saprophyticus bacteremia originating from UTI is very rare and has not been reported in Korea. We report a case of S. saprophyticus bacteremia from UTI in a 60-year-old female with a urinary stone treated successfully with intravenous ciprofloxacin, and review the cases of S. s...
متن کاملGuinea pig model for Staphylococcus aureus native valve endocarditis.
We present a new experimental model of Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis in guinea pigs. Permanent aortic valve damage was produced by electrocoagulation after catheterization of the right carotid artery, which allowed avoidance of the intracardiac catheter to produce cardiac vegetations. Our model closely mimics pathological mechanisms of native valve endocarditis.
متن کاملNative aortic valve endocarditis secondary to Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia.
A 7-year-old boy presented with cellulitis over the medial aspect of the left upper thigh and pyomyositis of the left vastus lateralis accompanied by severe restriction of the left hip joint. These complaints had developed over the last 12 days. MRI detected osteomyelitis of the proximal metaphysis of the left femur with mild left hip joint effusion.

متن کاملVenous gangrene of the lower limbs following aortic valve replacement for native valve endocarditis.
Bacterial endocarditis is a complex disease associated with high morbidity and mortality with complications that include acute heart failure and arterial embolism. Venous thrombosis of the lower limbs is not uncommon following all forms of surgery, but infrequent following cardiac surgery, and rarely progresses to venous gangrene. We report a case of bilateral lower-limb venous gangrene, in a 4...
