Balantidium coli is a ciliated protozoan parasite that primarily infects primates and pigs. It is the largest protozoan to infect humans and is a well-known cause of diarrhea and dysentery. Extraintestinal disease is uncommon, and extraintestinal spread to the peritoneal cavity, appendix,
The efficacy and toxicity of ciprofloxacin, an orally administered fluoroquinolone, were evaluated in 24 infections in 23 patients with osteomyelitis caused by aerobic gram-negative bacilli. The diagnosis was confirmed by surgical findings and the results of bone biopsy and culture of bone or deep
Clindamycin phosphate was used in the treatment of 29 children with osteomyelitis of whom 25 had an acute and four a chronic type of infection. The usual dose was 50 mg/kg/day intravenously for approximately three weeks followed by oral clindamycin palmitate at home in a dose of 30 mg/kg/day for an
Thirty-four patients with osteomyelitis were treated for a mean of 32.5 days with 2 to 4 g per day of imipenem/cilastatin. Twenty-six infections involving the lower extremities were associated with accidents and prosthesis implantation, and 19 of 34 patients had more than one organism isolated.
Clostridium difficile is the most common cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and it occasionally causes extraintestinal infections. We present a case of C. difficile-associated diarrhea that led to vertebral osteomyelitis associated with hardware. The osteomyelitis became symptomatic 2 years
We describe two patients with salmonella vertebral osteomyelitis (SVO) and review 44 cases in the English-language literature. There was male predominance (distribution, 1.7:1), primarily lumbar involvement (72% of cases), and monomicrobial etiology. Fever (87% of cases) and back pain (92% of cases)
A 45-year-old man with a history of untreated diabetes mellitus had a persisting fever, back pain, and diarrhea. The primary care physician diagnosed the patient with the flu and gastroenteritis. The patient developed paraplegia for two weeks and was admitted to another hospital. The physician in
Although osteomyelitis occurs in approximately 10-20% of patients with diabetes-related foot ulcers, no widely accepted guideline is available for its treatment. In particular, little consensus exists on the place of surgery. A number of experts claim that early surgical excision of all infected or
We described a rare case of Salmonella enteritidis osteomyelitis of the tibia combined with arthritis of the ankle joint. A 4-year-old, otherwise healthy girl was hospitalized with 9-day history of fever, left leg pain, and diarrhea. On admission, her left lower leg and ankle were markedly reddened
Thirty adults (mean age, 52 years) were enrolled in a randomized, comparative trial of oral ciprofloxacin (750 mg twice daily) and other antimicrobial therapies. Etiologic agents included Enterobacteriaceae (18 isolates), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (16 isolates), and Staphylococcus aureus (four
Twenty-five infants and children with acute osteomyelitis (n = 7), suppurative arthritis (n = 11), or both (n = 7) were treated with imipenem and cilastatin sodium. Patients ranged in age from 5 months to 11.3 years. Needle aspiration of infected sites was performed in all patients, and 11 (44%)
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and Paratyphi usually cause enteric fever in humans characterized by fever and gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea. Bacteremia is a constant feature of enteric fever, and occasionally, dissemination of bacilli throughout the body results in the
A 3-month old female infant was transferred from another hospital where she had been hospitalized from the age of 1 month for protracted secretory diarrhea. The diarrhea had begun at birth and was unresponsive to various therapeutic formulas and to total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The parents were
An 85-year-old female presented with fever and consciousness disturbance for 3 days. The patient's blood culture subsequently revealed persistent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia despite the administration of vancomycin or teicoplanin monotherapy. Gallium inflammation
