A Case of Sepsis in Which Escherichia coli and Fastidiosipila sanguinis Were Isolated and Identified From a Blood Culture.

We isolated for the first time in Asia, alongside , from blood culture specimens in a case of complicated urinary tract infection with sepsis. In our case, took 96 hours to form colonies under anaerobic culture and showed sensitivity to ceftriaxone, administered for the urinary tract infection. The pathogenicity and clinical significance of , as well as its impact on the host when coinfected with other pathogens, require further analysis through the accumulation of cases.

Monitoring of MYD88 L265P mutation by droplet digital polymerase chain reaction for prediction of early relapse in a patient with Bing-Neel syndrome.

Bing-Neel syndrome (BNS) is a rare neurologic complication of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) characterized by direct infiltration of lymphoplasmacytic cells (LPCs). Although no standard treatment has yet been established, patients with BNS harboring the MYD88 L265P mutation have been reported to respond favorably to ibrutinib, which can cross the blood-brain barrier and trigger apoptosis of MYD88 L265P-positive LPCs. However, it is still unclear whether monitoring of MYD88 L265P mutation status would be useful for predicting relapse/progression or for assisting diagnosis and evaluating response to chemotherapy.
