Central skull base osteomyelitis (CSBO) that has expanded to the middle cranial fossa is a rare complication of nasopharyngeal infection in children. Diagnosing CSBO is challenging in children, because specific symptoms are lacking and imaging findings can mimic skull base malignancy. We report on a

Temporal bone osteomyelitis is more commonly seen in immunocompromised patients and is very rare in non-immunocompromised individuals. Mucormycosis is a fulminating fungal infection caused by Mucor which is a saprophytic fungus commonly seen in diabetic patients. Here we report a case of
Skull base osteomyelitis (SBO) is a serious and rare condition most commonly seen in elderly diabetic or immunocompromised patients as a complication of otitis externa. We present the case of a previously healthy 3-year-old girl who presented to the paediatric emergency department with vomiting,
A 51-year-old man developed anorexia, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. He had orthostatic hypotension, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and hypocortisolemia, and the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency was made. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed asymmetrically enlarged adrenal glands.
BACKGROUND
Pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis (PVO) is a severe infection that requires prolonged antimicrobial therapy and/or surgical interventions. Limited data are available on the safety and clinical efficacy of tigecycline in PVO. The objective of this study was to describe the clinical outcomes
Background: Acinetobacter baumannii complex is an increasingly important cause of osteomyelitis. It is considered a difficult to treat agent, due to increasing antimicrobial resistance and few available therapeutic options. Objective: To compare effectiveness and tolerability of
OBJECTIVE
To document outcomes of management of juvenile mandibular chronic osteomyelitis (JMCO) using a standardized treatment protocol including open biopsy, decortication, microbial culture, and long-term antibiotic therapy.
METHODS
This was a retrospective case study of pediatric patients with
A phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial was conducted in subjects with diabetic foot infections without osteomyelitis (primary study) or with osteomyelitis (substudy) to determine the efficacy and safety of parenteral (intravenous [iv]) tigecycline (150 mg once-daily) versus 1 g once-daily iv
BACKGROUND Emphysematous osteomyelitis of the spine is characterized by intravertebral or intraosseous air. Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EP) is the infection of the renal parenchyma and perirenal tissues caused by gas forming microorganisms and thus is characterized by gas formation. Prompt
A 34-year-old immunocompetent man weighing 95 kg was operated for a small left parietal scalp swelling in the year 2002. He was well until 2008, when he developed chronic diffuse headache, vomiting and drowsiness. The left parietal dura and overlying vault biopsy showed evidence of granulomatous
We describe the youngest case to date of a 2 year old child who developed central skull base osteomyelitis (SBO) initially presenting with a fever, vomiting and sore throat. An extremely rare complication of mastoiditis following otitis media in children is SBO which can present with non-specific
This is a retrospective analysis of patients with osteomyelitis who received telavancin at some time during their treatment course. The primary outcome was the percent of patients cured or improved at the end of telavancin therapy (EOTT). The secondary outcome was the percent of patients cured or
A 50-year-old woman complained postprandial vomiting for 5 days and drowsiness for 3 days. Possible central nervous pathology was suspected clinically. Brain MRI suggested likely brain metastases. For this reason, FDG PET/CT was performed to search the primary malignancy. The images showed abnormal
OBJECTIVE
