introduction: pyogenic granuloma (pg) is a prevalent inflammatory hyperplasia of skin and oral mucosa which is often caused by constant low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury or hormonal factors. in many cases, gingival irritation and inflammation due to poor oral hygiene are precipitating factors. oral pg occurs predominantly on the gingiva, but it is also encountered on the lips, tongue...

Background and aim: Pyogenic granuloma is a small, red, benign vascular tumor usually occuring after penetrating injury in skin. Different therapies such as laser, surgery and electro surgery have been offered for its treatment. Each of these therapies has advantages and disadvantages. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of cryotherapy and electrocautery on pyogenic granul...

objective(s) the aim of this study was to evaluate the expressions of two angiogenic immune-markers (cd-31 and vegf), and one proliferative immune-marker (ki-67) in oral pyogenic granulomas (pg), hemangiomas (hem) and inflammatory gingivitis (ig). materials and methods sixty cases of pg, hem and ig (twenty cases each) were examined. immunohistochemical (ihc) staining was performed based on rout...

Objective: Meningitis is life-threatening condition and examination of the Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may not give a precise diagnosis and prognosis of different types of meningitis. Bacterial meningitis is still a very common problem especially in many developing countries. The aims of study are to estimate the importance and significance of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), protein...

Against the backdrop of ever-changing Staphylococcal resistance pattern, clindamycin remains a viable therapeutic alternative Variation Clindamycin drug patterns with geographic area make inducible testing imperative for all staphylococcal isolates to avoid failure. This was prospective study conducted over period 1.5 years from January 2021 until June 2022. Prevalence different MLSB Phenotypes...

Pyogenic bacteria such as the Staphylococcus Aureus characteristically produce a circumscribed area of tissue necrosis leading to abscess formation. An abscess consists of (i) a central cavity containing pus, which is essentially liquefied necrotic tissue along with dead poiymorphs and bacteria (many of the latter are alive) and (ii) a surrounding wall, the inner layer of which is again necroti...

We report a unique pattern of multiple asymptomatic pyogenic granuloma found in the mucosa of the transverse colon, 4 cm distally to a colostomy site in a 2 year old boy with rectal aganglionosis. The peculiar lesion formed a group of exophytic, topographically-related masses up to 5 mm in height containing the proliferated capillaries. Endothelial markers (CD31, CD34, FVIII) were positive but ...

Following the discvery of streptomycn by Waksman (1944) and his collagues, great hopes were entertained that its use in cases of tuberculosis, and especiy of tuberculous meningts, would be followed by results equally dramatic and good as those with penicillin in pyogenic infection in general and the pyogenic meningitides in paticular. These hopes were engendered by the excellent experimental re...

Pyogenic liver abscesses are rare in children. In pediatric patients, altered host defences seem to play an important role. However, pyogenic liver abscess also occurs in healthy children. We experienced a case of pyogenic liver abscess in a healthy immunocompetent 10-year-old-girl. The patient presented two distinct abscesses: one subphrenic and the other intrahepatic. The intrahepatic abscess...

Pyogenic sacroiliitis is a rare osteoarticular infection, occurring most frequently in children and young adults. Diagnosis of the disease is challenging because of a general lack of awareness of the disease and its nonspecific signs and symptoms. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common causative bacteria in pyogenic sacroiliitis. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has typically been consi...
