Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasias seen in the oral cavity as a tissue response to irritation, trauma or hormonal imbalances. It is a common tumor-like growth of the oral cavity or skin that is considered to be non neoplastic in nature [1]. There are two kinds of PG namely lobular capillary hemangioma and non lobular capillary hemangioma type which differ in their histol...

Stain, S.C., Yellin, A.E., Donovan, A.J. and Brien, H.W. Pyogenic Liver Abscess. Archives of Surgery, 126: 991-996. Historically, open surgical drainage has been the treatment of choice for pyogenic liver abscess. The records of 54 patients with pyogenic liver abscess were reviewed to determine whether earlier diagnosis with current imaging tests and definitive treatment with antibiotics, aspir...

Gas-forming pyogenic liver abscess (GPLA) is an uncommon and potentially fatal disease that represents 7-24% of pyogenic liver abscess cases. Diabetes mellitus is a wellknown risk factor, and the main etiological agent is Klebsiella pneumoniae. Escherichia coli is also associated with gas formation, particularly in the presence of biliary disorders. In South America, parasitic diseases have bee...

Objective: To describe a new kind of 360° fixation in pyogenic spontaneous spondylodiscitis of L4L5 after anterior debridement and fusion. Summary of Background Data: The adequate surgical treatment modalities for pyogenic spontaneous spondylodiscitis has not been unequivocally defined until present, especially in the use of metal instruments at such a septic focus. Methods: The 54-year patient...

AIM Pyogenic liver abscesses result in substantial morbidity and mortality. Antimicrobial regimens using sequential intravenous/oral therapy may reduce the length of hospital stay. In this retrospective analysis, the efficacy of continuous intravenous antibiotic therapy (group I) vs. sequential intravenous/oral antibiotic therapy (group II) was studied in patients with pyogenic liver abscess. ...

A 65-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of melena and chest pain due to anemia. Medical history disclosed type 1 diabetes mellitus, an acute coronary syndrome, pacemaker implantation because of a sick sinus syndrome and an occlusion of the superior temporal artery. The patient used a coumarin derivative. During admission, the patient had large volume melena and became hemodynamic...

The bacterium Pasteurella haemolytica is resident in the oral cavities of dogs and cats and is often a cause of zoonotic infection. However, it is rare for it to be the pathogenic bacteria behind pyogenic spondylitis, and few studies have been conducted on it. This article reports a case of pyogenic cervical spondylitis thought to be caused by excessive contact with pet dogs.A 52-year-old man r...

INTRODUCTION Pyogenic granuloma or lobular capillary hemangioma remains an etiopathological enigma, with trauma, inflammatory and infectious agents being the commonest suspected causative agents. These lesions affect mucous membranes of the upper aero-digestive tract, and skin. HIV patients diagnosed with pyogenic granuloma present with multiple lesions, caused by Bartonella spp. CASE PRESENT...

Pyogenic infection is characterized by several local inflammation, usually with pus formation, generally caused by one of the pyogenic bacteria, which can produce the accumulation of dead leukocytes and infectious agent commonly known as pus. Pyogenic infections may be endogenous or exogenous . A break or abrasion in the skin can provide an entryway for these surface bacteria into the body, and...

Pyogenic granuloma is a common benign vascular tumour occurring in all ages. Both skin and mucous membranes can be affected. Of pathogenetic importance are trauma, BRAF mutations and probably herpes virus type 1, Orf virus and/or human papilloma virus type 2. The tumour consists of capillary proliferations, venules and fibromyxoid stroma. The development of a lesion occurs in three stages and b...
