First Case of Fusobacterium necrophorum Endocarditis To Have Presented after the 2nd Decade of Life.
We describe the case of a previously healthy 34-year-old man who emergently presented with flu-like symptoms and dyspnea on exertion. He had recently undergone a dental procedure. Empiric antibiotic therapy was initiated. Blood cultures were positive for metronidazole-resistant F. necrophorum. A transesophageal echocardiogram revealed 2 mobile vegetations on the mitral valve. Despite the antibiotic therapy, the patient's respiratory status worsened and, after 3 weeks, he died. On the basis of the organism's pathophysiology and the patient's recent dental procedure, the oral cavity was the likely source of the bacteremia. O...

Extrarespiratory manifestations of Mycoplasma pneumoniae: A case report.
Abstract Extrapulmonary manifestations of Mycoplasma pneumoniae are sometimes severe and may even be life-threatening. A 10-year-old patient was hospitalized due to a flu-like illness lasting 48h with impaired general condition, after an extended stay in Africa. There was an inflammatory syndrome associated with hyponatremia, but malaria was negative. A triple antibiotic therapy with ceftriaxone, amikacin, and josamycin was started. The progression was marked by the appearance of hypoxemia pneumoniae associated with extrarespiratory manifestations. He initially presented with acute polyradiculoneuropathy, followed...

Reasons for adult immunization - Prevention of most frequent respiratory infections.
Abstract The adult vaccination is utilized insufficiently as a preventional method currently, even the incidence and mortality of vaccine-preventable infections is very high in the elderly and patients with immuncompromised conditions. They should be protected due to many reasons: the rate of these individuals are getting higher in the population, the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy is limited and becoming more significant due to antibiotic resistance, the quality of life in survivors of severe infections is deteriorated, resulting huge burden to the individual and society as well. The impaired functions of im...

Group A Streptococci A rare and often misdiagnosed cause of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in adults
Conclusion GAS primary peritonitis should be considered in particular in young, previously healthy women who present with peritonitis but lack radiological findings of an infectious focus. The treatment of choice is immediate antibiotic therapy. Surgical intervention is difficult to avoid, since the diagnosis of GAS peritonitis is usually not confirmed until other causes of secondary peritonitis have been excluded.

At What Age Does the Risk of Infant Listeria Infection Decrease?
Discussion Neonatal bacterial infections are commonly caused by Group B Streptococcus, enteric gram-negative organisms such as Escherichia coli, coagulase negative Staphylococcus, Listeria monocytogenes and Haemophilus influenza. Infections are usually because of transplacental infection or ascending infection from the mother’s genitourinary tract. Empiric treatment for suspected sepsis for neonates is usually combined IV aminoglycoside and expanded-spectrum penicillin antibiotic therapy in the US and Canada and this combination specifically covers for Listeria. Listeria monocytogenes was first discovered in 1927 an...
