BACKGROUND
Chronic airway infection with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is an increasing clinical problem, and therapeutic options are limited. Because chronic infection with MRSA can be associated with accelerated decline in lung function,
OBJECTIVE
The incidence of infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus continues to increase annually. Unfortunately, only a few therapeutic agents are available for the treatment of patients with such infections and all of the existing drugs have limitations. A pressing need
Fifty-two patients with serious respiratory infections were treated with orally administered ciprofloxacin; 42 patients were evaluable for the efficacy analysis and all were evaluable for determining adverse reactions. Cures were achieved in 24 patients with infections (14 with bronchitis, 10 with
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is an acute febrile, exanthematous illness associated with multisystem failure including shock, renal failure, myocardial failure and adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It usually presents with fever, pharyngitis, diarrhoea, vomiting, myalgia, and a scarlet
The toxic-shock syndrome (TSS) is a recently recognized syndrome characterized by sudden onset of high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea with rapid progression to hypotension and shock. It is caused by one or more not yet clearly defined exotoxins from staphylococcus aureus. The disease primarily
Pathogenic bacteria and host defense system have been evolved by their offense and defense. In vivo research is crucial for elucidation of interactions between them. I have investigated their offence and defense by various standpoints using mouse models of Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus
The results of 222 cases of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis operated on at the Princess Margaret Hospital for Children in Perth, from 1979 to 1984, have been reviewed. There were no deaths, but there was a 7% incidence of wound infection and a 72% incidence of postoperative vomiting. Staphylococcus
We report on a 24-year-old male patient with history of bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain and vomiting. Endoscopy revealed massive ulcerative discontinuous proctosigmoiditis with deep, sharply demarcated epithelial denudations and enterotoxigenic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was
Introduction: Xanthogranulomatous adrenalitis (XA) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of the adrenal glands and resembles adrenal neoplasm in clinical and radiologic characteristics. There is no report on XA presenting as a
Toxic-shock-syndrome (TSS) is an acute febrile, exanthematous illness caused by toxins such as toxic-shock-syndrome-toxine-1 (TSST-1) and other endotoxines from staphylococcus aureus with an incidence of 0,5 per 100.000 inhabitants. Patients with menstrual toxic-shock-syndrome (menstrual-TSS)
Liver abscesses are the most common types of visceral abscesses. Pyogenic liver abscesses, a particular type of liver abscesses, are uncommonly encountered. We present a rare case of pyogenic liver abscess caused by methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus in a young man. A 21-year- old man

A 48-year-old ill-looking man presented with nausea and vomiting. He had been on fusidic acid 500 mg three times a day and linezolid 600 mg twice a day for 2 weeks for right knee methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection post right knee arthroscopy performed a month previously. He had
Four hundred and fifty-three adults in 25 British hospitals entered a prospective study of community-acquired pneumonia. A microbiological diagnosis was established in 67 per cent; Streptococcus pneumoniae (34 per cent). Mycoplasma pneumoniae (18 per cent) and Influenza A virus (7 per cent) were the
