PURPOSE To report the clinical findings, antibiotic sensitivities, and visual outcomes associated with endophthalmitis caused by Pantoea agglomerans. METHODS A consecutive case series of patients with vitreous culture-positive endophthalmitis caused by P. agglomerans from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 2012 at a large university referral center. Findings from the current study were compared ...

BACKGROUND Despite advances in surgical techniques in the management of the brain abscess, continuous systemic long-term antibiotics are necessary and crucial. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of intracavity administration of high-dose antibiotics on the course of antibiotic therapy. METHODS Between 2003 and 2013, 55 patients with bacterial brain abscesses (83 abscesses) were tr...

Since it first became available penicillin has been, and probably remains, the antibiotic of choice in the treatment of gonorrhoea. In recent years, however, the recognition of treatment failures due to less sensitive strains of N. gonorrhoeae (Medical Research Council Working Party Report, 1961) and the increasing risk of serious hypersensitivity reactions in patients given penicillin for a re...

Accidental intra-arterial injection of intramuscular antibiotic preparations is described in 3 cases in infants. In 2 benzathine penicillin was injected, and in 1 rolitetracycline. The clinical features are dominated by arteriolar obstruction which produces gangrene of the most severely affected limb. In addition, neuroloigcal involvement occurs when vessels to nerves or spinal cord are involve...

Phage therapy has been suggested as a potential treatment for highly antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as the species of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC). To address this hypothesis, experimental B. cenocepacia respiratory infections were established in mice using a nebulizer and a nose-only inhalation device. Following infection, the mice were treated with one of five B. cenocepacia-sp...

Objective: Sensitive antibiotic combine with shunt valve injection is a new, simple and effective method to treatment for VP shunt infection. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 15 consecutive patients who were diagnosed intracranial infection after VP shunt and received our new treatment between Feb 2010 and Feb 2013. We have a 2-5 years follow-up to evaluate prognosis and security. Results: ...

A 70-year-old woman with a history of medial femoro-tibial compartment of knee osteoarthritis was admitted for acute arthritis six days after a second intra-articular injection of Hyaluronic acid. The joint fluid was inflammatory, with no crystals, and laboratory tests showed marked inflammation leading to antibiotic treatment for suspected septic arthritis. The persistent symptoms and negative...

BACKGROUND External dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is often performed under local anesthesia (LA) without adequate knowledge of the pain experienced by the patient. MATERIAL/METHODS We subdivided our surgical technique into stages easily understood by the patients (introducing cotton tipped applicators, performing parabulbar injection, creating the incision, bone cracking (opening the ostium), m...

Adult rabbits were given single intravenous injections of 25 mg. per kilogram of sodium dicloxacillin. At intervals of time ranging from 15 minutes to 8 hours after injection, primary or secondary aqueous humor was aspirated from each eye. At the same time, a specimen of cardiac blood was withdraion. Other animals were given subconfunctival injections of 50 mg. of dicloxacillin. Aqueous humor w...

Relevance of the problem: In respect that, lack dynamic morbidity incidence acute appendicitis and frequency postoperative complications, against backdrop increasing number antibiotics. The problem prevention purulent-inflammatory complications during its surgical treatment remains relevant.
