Use of Comparative Genomics To Resolve an Unusual Case of Aminoglycoside Susceptibility in the Melioidosis Pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei in Bangladesh.

Melioidosis is an emerging tropical infectious disease with a rising global burden caused by the environmental bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. It is endemic in Southeast and South Asia, including Bangladesh. A rare aminoglycoside-susceptible B.

Phylogeographic characterization of Burkholderia pseudomallei isolated from Bangladesh.

Background: Burkholderia pseudomallei possesses a diverse set of genes which encode a vast array of biological functions reflecting its clinical, ecological and phenotypic diversity. Strain variation is linked to geographic location as well as pattern of land uses. This soil-dwelling Gram-negative pathogen causes melioidosis, a tropical disease endemic in northern Australia and Southeast Asian regions including Bangladesh.

IgG4-related retroperitoneal fibrosis: A case report of a challenging disease.

Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a multi-organ immune-mediated fibroinflammatory disorder that may imitate malignancy, infectious or any other inflammatory disorder. IgG4-related retroperitoneal fibrosis (IgG4-RPF) is a rare form of IgG4-RD, diagnosis of which is often relied on radiological technology. Herein, we describe a case of 60 year old male, presenting with low back pain and weight loss for a period of 2 months and 15 days.

Early vs. late percutaneous catheter drainage of acute necrotic collections in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis.

Purpose: It is recommended to drain the pancreatic fluid collections later in the course of the acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). However, earlier drainage may be indicated. We compared early (≤ 2 weeks) vs.
