Incidence of Drug-Resistant Hospital-Associated Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections, the Accompanying Risk Factors, and Clinical Outcomes with Treatment.

Extensive drug resistance to bacterial infections in hospitalised patients is accompanied by high morbidity and mortality rates due to limited treatment options. This study investigated the clinical outcomes of single and combined antibiotic therapies in extensive (XDR), multidrug-resistant (MDR) and susceptible strains (SS) of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Cases of hospital-associated drug-resistant infections (HADRIs) and a few susceptible strains from hospital wards were selected for this study.

Bacteremia in a Patient with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection: A Case Report and Literature Review.

() is clinically important due to its association with underlying medical conditions. Infection with may worsen HIV prognosis, leading to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. However, it is not frequently isolated and its susceptibility to antibiotics has not been well studied.

Genotypic and phylogenic analyses of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Al Ahsa, Eastern Saudi Arabia during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic: First cases of Leishmania tropica with the predominance of Leishmania major.

During the coronavirus disease 2019 lockdown period, a surge in sandflies and cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) cases was observed in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. Skin punch biopsies were obtained from 100 patients clinically diagnosed with CL in Al-Ahsa who had no travel history in the last 6 months. Impression smears were used following a three-step polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol using genus-specific primers targeting kDNA and ITS1.

Infective Endocarditis Caused by Pseudomonas luteola in a Pediatric Patient. A Case Report and Review of Literature.

BACKGROUND Pseudomonas luteola (P. luteola) is a Gram-negative, oxidase-negative is an environmental organism that is isolated from soil, water, and damping areas, and is rarely found as a human pathogen. Most infections in which P.

Iatrogenic Ventriculitis Due to Mycoplasma Hominis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

BACKGROUND Mycoplasma hominis, which rarely causes infection after neurosurgical procedures, is a small free-living organism, belonging to the genus Mycoplasma. M. hominis lacks a rigid cell wall and cannot be clearly visualized by routine light microscopy.

Molecular Characterization and Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Isolated in Intensive Care Unit Patients in Al-Hassa, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Background: , is an emerging nosocomial multidrug resistance pathogen with the rapid spread of clones being reported in health-care settings and hospitals worldwide. Carbapenem resistance in this bacterium has been attributed to D OXA β-lactamases with OXA-51-like β-lactamase, being present in all isolate. The present study looks into the antibiotics susceptibility and molecular characterization of clinical isolates from Intensive Care Unit (ICU) samples in Al-Hofuf, South-eastern region of Saudi Arabia.

An Atypical Porencephalic Cyst Manifesting as a Simple Partial Seizure: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Background: Porencephaly is an extremely rare neurological disease characterized by the presence of solitary or multiple degenerative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cavities within the brain parenchyma.

Case Report: We describe a case involving a 23-year-old male who presented with involuntary movements of the left upper limb of 6 months' duration. A diagnosis of porencephaly was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Therapeutic effect of carnosine in rat model of experimental liver carcinogenesis.

The possible anticancer effect of carnosine versus doxorubicin was investigated against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) induced by trichloroacetic acid (TCA) (500mg/kg/day, p.o., for 5days) in rats.

Challenging Pitfalls and Mimickers in Diagnosing Anastomosing Capillary Hemangioma of the Kidney: Case Report and Literature Review.

BACKGROUND Vascular tumors of the kidney are rare tumors that are usually diagnosed and confirmed by histopathological examination due to the difficulty in definitive diagnosis by clinical and radiological examination. Anastomosing hemangioma is a rare variant of capillary hemangioma that mimics angiosarcoma. CASE REPORT Here, we present a case of a 55-year-old female with a history of partial nephrectomy due to clear cell renal cell carcinoma three years earlier, who presented with a contralateral anastomosing capillary hemangioma.
