Background: The Burkholderia cepacia complex comprises a group of bacteria with a growing threat as a contaminant of nonsterile solutions. We describe an outbreak of a Burkholderia cepacia complex involving patients at intensive care unit related to a no-rinse bathing solution (NRBS).
Methods: We carried out patients, environmental and laboratory investigation performing analyses of cases, pulsed-field-gel electrophoresis and whole genome sequence (WGS) of isolates.
Article Synopsis
- Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is a skin condition linked to insulin resistance, endocrine issues, certain medications, chromosomal abnormalities, and sometimes cancers, particularly abdominal neoplasms.
- Malignant AN typically affects older patients, showing early subtle symptoms and primarily manifests in skin folds like the armpits and neck.
- A case study is presented involving a woman with significant weight loss and skin darkening, leading to the discovery of a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after finding a tumor in her flank, highlighting the connection between AN and RCC.
