Nocardial infection of the central nervous system is rare and usually manifests as brain abscess. Here we describe an elderly gentleman who presented with signs and symptoms of an intracranial mass lesion localising to the frontal lobe. Clinical examination and CT scan suggested neoplasia as the probable diagnosis. A biloculated abscess was seen at surgery. Aspiration of the contents and examin...
Bilateral primary renal aspergillosis is rare in immunocompetent hosts. The clinical presentation of Aspergillus pyelonephritis is similar to that of bacterial pyelonephritis. Here, we present an immunocompetent patient with primary bilateral renal abscesses due to Aspergillus fumigatus.
A 54 year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with dyspnea, dry cough and fever. Chest X-ray revealed pneumonic infiltration with air bronchograms involving all zones of right hemithorax. We observed radiological and clinical progress despite ceftriaxone, clarithromicin and bronchodilator for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The gram staining of bronchoalveolar lavage showed funga...
Aspergillosis is a serious pathologic condition caused by Aspergillus that commonly affects immunocompromised patients. In recent years, it has been demonstrated infection can cause wide spectrum of pulmonary diseases, including allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, chronic necrotizing aspergilloma, and invasive aspergillosis. The characteristic computed tomography (CT) findings the various ...
An immunocompetent 62-year-old woman presented with cutaneous lesions over her right arm and the hypogastrium. The diagnosis of cutaneous cryptococcosis was made on the basis of the demonstration and isolation of Cryptococcus neoformans from the aspirated pus. The patient responded to fluconazole treatment.
Adenoviruses are nonenveloped doublestranded DNA viruses that were fi rst isolated from adenoidal cells in 1953 as part of a project searching for the virus causing the common cold. There are currently 57 recognized serotypes of human adenovirus, which can be divided into the subgroups (or species) A to G. There is tropism among these subgroups, with subgroups A and F typically causing infectio...
Sir, Primary cutaneous aspergillosis is rare and when seen it is usually associated with compromised immune status of the host. The lesions usually occur at the site of trauma, e.g. in a sick patient at the site of armboards, tapes or intravenous catheters. The fungus, Aspergillus, is a saprophytic dimorphic mould present in soil, decaying vegetation and organic debris. Clinically it involves t...
Clostridium cadaveris bacteremia is extremely rare; the few cases reported in the literature have occurred in immunocompromised patients. We describe a case of C. cadaveris bacteremia in an immunocompetent host with necrotic decubitus. A 42-year-old nursing home patient with paraplegia, secondary to a gun shot injury, was admitted to the hospital on 8 March 1999 for fever and hypotension. He ha...
BACKGROUND In inmunocompetent hosts, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is generally asymptomatic. It may however present as infectious mononucleosis. Serious complications have rarely been reported. We report three cases of acute CMV hepatitis in immunocompetent men for the first time from Bangladesh. All three presented to us with features of acute hepatitis of variable duration preceded by prod...
