Septicemia in the young infant, particularly the newborn, has a high mortality despite the use of potent anti-microbial agents. Case reports and studies reporting the successful use of Exchange Transfusion (E. T.) in Septicemia of the newborn prompted us to apply this measure in this patient. 1.2 However we have not found any reports on the use E.T. beyond the neonatal period, in the critically...

Lemierre's syndrome also termed post-anginal septicemia, is a disease characterized by internal jugular septic thrombophlebitis leading to Fusobacterium septicemia with multiple metastatic foci following an oropharyngeal infection. Diagnosis and management is challenging and can result in fatal consequences due to potential multisystem involvement and multiple complications. We describe here a ...

1. The susceptibility of rabbits to inhalations of pneumococci varies in direct proportion to the virulence of the organism for rabbits. 2. When rabbits are exposed to a pneumococcus spray, irrespective of the virulence of the organism, the bacteria readily penetrate into the lower respiratory tract. 3. When rabbits are exposed to a spray of avirulent degenerated "R" form of pneumococcus, septi...

Emergence of extended spectrum β lactamases (ESBLs) producing strains of gram negative bacteria, as one of the leading cause of septicemia often complicates the clinical and therapeutic outcome. The present study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence of ESBLs in bacteria isolated from neonatal septicemia cases along with their antimicrobial sensitivity pattern. Blood samples were collect...

The present study showed the Sero-surveillance of Hemorrhagic septicemia in cattle and buffaloes in district Malakand, NWFP, Pakistan. The average geometric mean titre (GMT) was recorded against hemorrhagic septicemia in buffaloes in the range of 4.12 to 46.98, while those in cattle were recorded in the range of 4.45 to 46.40. In young buffalo calves, incidence rate, mortality rate and morbidit...

Pyogenic liver abscess in patients with malignant disease is a fatal state and is easily diagnosed. We presented a rare case of sudden fatal septicemia following anticancer treatment for recurred gastric cancer due to multiple liver abscesses which could not be diagnosed. A 72-year-old male with recurred gastric cancer received anticancer agents. He had a history of distal gastrectomy with righ...
