Group B Streptococcus Primary Pyogenic Ventriculitis in an Adult.

Pyogenic ventriculitis is a disorder characterized by inflammation of the cerebral ventricular lining secondary to infection within the ventricular system. Very few cases of primary pyogenic ventriculitis have been reported among adults. We present a case report of a 74-year-old female with a history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus who presented with Group B Streptococcus (GBS) primary pyogenic ventriculitis.

Prostatic Abscess Secondary to Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Escherichia coli: A Case Report.

A prostate abscess is a rare clinical entity with an incidence of 0.2%-0.5% in males.

Invasive Meningococcal Disease and COVID-19 Co-Infection: A Case Report.

This case report presents a 53-year-old male patient infected with COVID-19 who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and septic shock due to , despite the absence of clinical signs of meningitis. This patient's condition was complicated by pneumonia in the setting of myocardial failure. In the curse of the disease, it is remarked that the importance of early recognition of sepsis symptoms is crucial in distinguishing patients with COVID-19 from those with other infections and preventing fatal outcomes.

Two for the Price of One: A Case of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Brain Abscess With Atypical Lymphoplasmacytic Infiltrate With Underlying Clonal Lymphoproliferative Process in a Patient Infected With HIV.

Multiple etiologies can coexist and trigger CNS symptoms in individuals infected with HIV. This article reviews a case of a cerebellar mass in an HIV patient who, on biopsy, grew methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and by pathology, showed an atypical lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate concerning a clonal lymphoproliferative process, which may be a precursor of CNS lymphoma. The patient, a 36-year-old male with multiple comorbidities including HIV Infection, presented to the hospital for evaluation of a one-week course of headache and photophobia.

A Case of Candida auris Candidemia in an Immunocompetent Traumatic Brain Injury Patient Post Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt and Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Line.

Among the candida species, Candida auris (C. auris) is multidrug-resistant and is associated with invasive hospital-acquired infection and high mortality. We are going to present a case report about C.

Austrian Syndrome in an Immunocompromised Patient-A Case Report.

Austrian syndrome consists of a triad of endocarditis, meningitis, and pneumonia caused by . With the arrival of many antibiotic therapies, the disease remains rare, however, it can be overlooked due to the lack of awareness. We present a case of Austrian syndrome in an immunocompromised patient complicated by multiorgan failure.

Bergeyella zoohelcum Bacteremia from Therapy Dog Kisses.

Bergeyella (B.) zoohelcum is a non-motile, aerobic, gram-negative rod, with only a few cases in the literature. Most of the human infections are related to dog or cat bites; however, there are also reports related to the ingestion of food prepared with goat's blood.

Septic arthritis of native hip joint by Staphylococcus lugdunensis: a case report.

Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a rare virulent coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CoNS) that behaves similarly to Staphylococcus aureus in causing deep abscesses, skin and soft tissue infections, and central nervous system infections. Additionally, there can be certain blood stream infections including sepsis, septic shock, toxic shock syndrome, and endocarditis complicated by embolic events. Reports of septic arthritis of a native joint associated with this organism have been infrequent, justifying the presentation and discussion of this case.

Case report of vancomycin-induced pancytopenia.

Vancomycin is the first-line agent for the treatment of bacteremia, endocarditis, pneumonia, cellulitis, and osteomyelitis. Pancytopenia is an uncommon adverse effect of vancomycin therapy, with only a few cases of vancomycin-related neutropenia and pancytopenia described in the literature. We describe a case of a 56-year-old man who was diagnosed with chronic paraspinal abscess and started on intravenous vancomycin.
