Liver abscess due to Granulicatella adiacens in an immunocompetent patient: Case report.

Pyogenic liver abscesses due to Granulicatella adiacens are infections associated with high mortality, mainly in immunocompromised patients. The main microorganisms associated with liver abscesses are Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli, though it may also be polymicrobial. However, case reports describing liver infection by Granulicatella adiacens are scarce.

Disseminated cryptococcosis by biological therapy: We must manage the risk.

Introduction: Multiple adverse effects have been described for the biological therapy in autoimmune diseases including many secondary to immunosuppression producing bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. Clinical case: We present the case of a 64-year-old female patient with proven disseminated cryptococcosis secondary to the use of tofacitinib. Other possible causes of immunosuppression such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were ruled out.

Case Report: Endothelial Glycocalyx Damage in Critically ill Patients With SARS-CoV-2-Related Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C).

Endothelial insult and damage is one of the reported consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection. It has been associated with severe inflammation, thrombotic phenomena and profound hypoxemia in critically ill patients. Endothelial activation leads to a loss of the endothelium's antithrombotic properties which, under normal conditions, are maintained by the endothelial glycocalyx, a carbohydrate-rich layer that covers the luminal surface of endothelial cells.

Bacteremia by colistin-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolate: a case report.

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections are a major public health problem worldwide, requiring the use of "old" antibiotics such as polymyxin B and E (colistin). However, there is concern regarding the emergence of isolates resistant to these antibiotics.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a 64-year-old mestizo man hospitalized in an intensive care unit of a health institution in Colombia with identification and clinical and molecular typing of a colistin- and carbapenem-resistant A.

Acute liver failure complication of brucellosis infection: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: Brucellosis is one of the most widespread zoonoses worldwide. It can affect any organ system, particularly the gastrointestinal system, but there is no report of acute liver failure as a brucellosis complication.

Case Presentation: We present a case of acute liver failure secondary to brucellosis infection.
