introduction melioidosis is a rapidly fatal infectious disease caused by burkholderia pseudomallei, an agent of potential biothreat, endemic in several parts of india. most melioidosis-induced infected aneurysms are located in the abdominal or thoracic aorta. case presentation we reported two unusual cases of melioidosis resulting in pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta. in both case...
BACKGROUND When manifested as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) bacteremia, disseminated MTB infection clinically mimics other serious blood stream infections often hindering early diagnosis and initiation of potentially life-saving anti-tuberculosis therapy. In a cohort of hospitalized HIV-infected Ugandan patients with severe sepsis, we report the frequency, management and outcomes of patients...
BACKGROUND Acinetobacter baumannii, an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen that can cause significant morbidity and mortality, has emerged as a worldwide problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for mortality in patients with A. baumannii bacteremia. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 118 patients who had A. baumannii bacteremia between July 2003 and Decem...
The prevalence of the heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) phenotype among methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) blood isolates can reach 38%. hVISA bacteremia is known to be associated with vancomycin treatment failure, including persistent bacteremia. We conducted this study to evaluate risk factors for 12-week mortality in patients with hVISA bacteremia throug...
Non-faecalis and non-faecium enterococci are an occasional cause of bacteremia, and some cases of infective endocarditis caused by these pathogens have been reported. However, the rate of infective endocarditis in non-faecalis and non-faecium enterococcal bacteremia is still undetermined. We compared the clinical features and the rate of infective endocarditis of 70 cases of non-faecalis and no...
Group G Streptococcus (GGS) can cause severe infections, including bacteremia. These organisms often express a surface protein homologous to the Streptococcus pyogenes M protein. We retrospectively studied the characteristics of patients from the Hadassah Medical Center with GGS bacteremia from 1989 to 2000. Ninety-four cases of GGS bacteremia were identified in 84 patients. The median age was ...
The risk factors for relapse of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia after vancomycin treatment are unknown. Diversilab typing was used to classify recurrent bacteremia as relapse or reinfection. Bacteremia for >7 days and staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec element (SCCmec) type II were independently associated with relapse of MRSA bacteremia after vancomycin treatm...
We identified 17 cases of pneumococcal bacteremia among 340 neutropenic cancer patients with bacteremia. Pneumonia was more frequent in patients with pneumococcal bacteremia than in those with bacteremia due to other organisms: 12 (71%) of 17 patients with pneumococcal bacteremia had pneumonia, whereas only 23 (7%) of 323 patients with nonpneumococcal bacteremia had pneumonia (P < .001). Eight ...
We examined the risk of bacteremia in patients with liver cirrhosis (compared with the risk for all Danish citizens >20 years of age who were living in North Jutland County, Denmark), as well as the type of bacteremia and the 30-day case-fatality rate. We used the Danish National Registry of Patients to identify 1339 patients with liver cirrhosis, and we used the North Jutland County Bacteremia...
Our objectives were to determine the incidence of endocarditis in patients whose Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia was community-acquired, related to hemodialysis, or hospital-acquired; to assess clinical factors that would reliably distinguished between S. aureus bacteremia and S. aureus endocarditis; to assess the emergence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) as a cause of endocarditis; ...
