Epidemiology, microbiological, clinical characteristics, and outcome of complex infections in non-cystic fibrosis adult patients from Qatar.

Objectives: species infections are associated with diverse and challenging clinical presentations because of distinct virulence and antimicrobial resistance factors. The study aims to evaluate the epidemiology, microbiological, and clinical outcomes of complex (Bcc) infections in non-cystic fibrosis (CF) patients from Qatar.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on adult patients across all hospitals at Hamad Medical Corporation between January 2012 and December 2018 to evaluate clinically relevant Bcc in non-CF adult patients.

Endogenous Purulent Pericarditis Due to Klebsiella aerogenes in a Patient With Traumatic Chest Injury: A Case Report.

Purulent pericarditis is a rare but serious medical condition caused by an infection that spreads to the pericardial space surrounding the heart. Gram-positive organisms are the most common pathogens associated with purulent pericarditis. However, there has been a shift in recent years toward gram-negative bacteria.

Percutaneous coronary intervention-associated .

Coronary artery interventions are safe procedures yet have a risk of stent infection, bacteremia and sepsis, events that are rare but with high morbidity and mortality sequel. A few prior cases had reported post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) infections, abscesses and sepsis due to , followed by Cardiac Actinomyces infections are extremely rare. Here we report a case of a 50 year old patient who developed a post intervention epicardial abscess occluding right coronary artery with subsequent bacteremia eventually requiring open heart surgery.
