BACKGROUND Eikenella corrodens is one of the HACEK bacteria constituting part of the normal flora of the oropharynx, however, still an uncommon pathogen. We report a case of a large Eikenella corrodens liver abscess with simultaneously endocarditis in a previously healthy male. CASE PRESENTATION A 49-year-old Danish man was admitted because of one-month malaise, fever, cough and unintentional...

Objective. This paper aims at studying oropharyngeal cancer survival from the Population-Based Cancer Registry of Zaragoza, Spain, for the 1978-2002 period. Methods. The survival rates were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the automated calculation method of the Catalan Institute of Oncology was utilized to obtain the relative survival. Results. The oropharyngeal cancer survival rate ...

The self-consistent charge density-functional tight-binding (SCC-DFTB) method is employed for studying various molecular properties of small fullerenes: C(28), C(60), and C(70). The computed bond distances, vibrational infrared and Raman spectra, vibrational densities of states, and electronic densities of states are compared with experiment (where available) and density-functional theory (DFT)...

Fish bone Foreign Body (FFB) accidental ingestion is a most common presenting complaint for patients attending the emergency department. It more frequently lodged within oropharynx and oesophagus.

Rothia mucilaginosa is a gram-positive coccus of the family Micrococcaceae. R. mucilaginosa is considered a part of the normal flora of the human oropharynx and upper respiratory tract and lower respiratory tract infections attributable to R. mucilaginosa are not frequent. We present a case of pneumonia, in which the R. mucilaginosa infection was diagnosed by quantitative cultures of a bronchoa...

Heterotopic gastric mucosa tissue is also called gastric choristoma, and this type of lesion can be found anywhere in the alimentary tract. However, gastric choristoma in the pharynx is very rare; only 10 cases of pharyngeal gastric choristoma have been reported in the English medical literature. A 32-yr-old woman was referred to our institution for the evaluation of a large mass that originate...

We recently encountered total laryngectomee who had positivity diagnostic from tracheostoma, on other hand, false negativity nasal cavity. ...

Introduction: Candida is the fourth most common pathogen identified in blood.[1] Candida, a yeast like fungus, is present in the oral cavity of 40 to 60% of the general population. [2,3]. Candida is most likely to cause disease in human beings[4]. Candida is common in the oral and gastro-intestinal flora. Its presence is increased in patients who are immune compromised, who use broad spectrum a...

Streptococcus intermedius is a member of the Streptococcus anginosus group of bacteria. This group is part of the normal flora of the oropharynx, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal tracts; however, they have been known to cause a variety of purulent infections including meningitis, endocarditis, and abscesses, even in immunocompetent hosts. In particular, S. intermedius has been associated wit...

conclusion determination of colonized bacteria in oropharynx of healthy children and relationship between them can be helpful to find the ways to interfere with their colonization and prevention of diseases due to them. materials and methods the colonized bacteria in oropharynx of 296 children between 2-6 years old from 7 day care centers of tehran were isolated and determined by specific diagn...
