We describe unusual Staphylococcus aureus infections in 2 patients. The infections were characterized by extreme pyrexia and rapid death. Both causative organisms produced a deletion mutant form of toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 and variant enterotoxin C, which may have caused pyrexia and death.
A number of factors of nonspecific reactivity, i.e. complement, lysozyme, properdin, blood serum bactericidal activity, leucocyte phagocytal activity, phagocytal index and completed phagocytosis were studied on 160 guinea pigs with experimental typhoid fever, dysentery and staphylococcal infections.
Dengue represents an important public health issue in many tropical areas, leading to high morbidity and the employment of substantial health resources. Even though the number of fatalities related to dengue is unknown, several reports warn about the potential occurrence of severe infections and
The incidence of wound infections that do not adequately respond to standard-of-care antimicrobial treatment has been increasing. To address this challenge, a novel antimicrobial magnetic thermotherapy platform has been developed in which a high-amplitude, high-frequency, alternating magnetic field
Intra-abdominal disease can present as an extra-abdominal abscess and can follow several routes, including the greater sciatic foramen, obturator foramen, femoral canal, pelvic outlet, and inguinal canal. Nerves and vessels can also serve as a route out of the abdomen. The psoas muscle extends from
Patients with serious staphylococcal infections, e.g. endocarditis and osteomyelitis, need prompt and prolonged parenteral antibiotic treatment to ensure eradication of the causative pathogen. The major cost in the treatment of these infections is the long period of hospitalisation required for the
The purpose of this study was to examine coagulase-negative staphylococcal infections in bone marrow transplantation (BMT) patients with central vein catheters by investigating incidence, clinical relevance, risk factors, methicillin resistance, clinical impact of initial empiric antimicrobial
The clinical and laboratory characteristics of 38 staphylococcal adult bacterial meningitis (ABM) cases (19 Staphylococcus aureus infections and 19 coagulase-negative staphylococcal [CoNS] infections), collected over a period of 6.5 years (July 1999-December 2005; total ABM cases=181) were analyzed.
Multicenter trials of ticarcillin/potassium clavulanate (Timentin) for bone, joint, skin and soft tissue infections in children were performed from 1983 to 1986. Fifty children with culture-confirmed Staphylococcus aureus infections were identified. Sixteen children (ages 6.2 +/- 3.9 years) with
BACKGROUND
Lemierre's syndrome is septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein leading to metastatic septic complications following an oropharyngeal infection. It is usually caused by the anaerobe, Fusobacterium necrophorum. Of late, meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is increasingly
