BACKGROUND
The present was performed to describe the characteristics of bacteremias by Pseudomonas aeruginosa following cholangiopancreatography and the methods of prevention and treatment of the same.
METHODS
Twelve different episodes of bacteremia by Pseudomonas aeruginosa were retrospectively
Beta-lactam antibiotics can directly impair hemostasis by two separate nonimmune mechanisms. First, the NMTT-substituted cephalosporin drugs may cause hypoprothrombinemia by interfering with the hepatic activation of clotting factors II, VII, IX, and X. Second, the antipseudomonal penicillins may
Ecthyma gangrenosum is a rare physical exam finding pathognomonic for severe bacteremia and typically associated with pseudomonal sepsis. The characteristic skin lesions appear as ring-shaped hemorrhagic pustules that evolve into necrotic ulcers. In the present case, a 62-year-old woman with a
BACKGROUND Pseudomonal infection is the most common cause of malignant otitis externa (MOE), which typically affects elderly diabetic patients. Fungi are a rare cause of MOE. MOE can be life-threatening if not recognized and treated promptly. It can result in a wide spectrum of complications,
We reviewed 402 hospital admissions of patients with acute leukemia to define the frequency and characteristics of anaerobic bacteremia in this patient population. Six (5.2%) of the 116 septicemia episodes documented in these patients were caused by anaerobes (Bacteroides species, 3; Fusobacterium
Mezlocillin was compared with carbenicillin and 0.9% NaCl as placebo in a double-blind manner to determine its effect in vivo on hemostasis in normal volunteers. Eighteen subjects were randomized to receive mezlocillin, 4 g every 6 h; carbenicillin, 7.5 g every 6 h; or placebo, 50 ml every 6 h, each
