Article Synopsis
- PJP has become a significant issue in HIV-negative patients, particularly due to increased use of immunosuppressants, with a study involving 96 hospitalized patients in Southern China.
- The majority of cases were found in middle-aged men, with kidney and connective tissue diseases being major risk factors; most patients had recent low-dose immunosuppressive treatments and none had prophylaxis with TMP-SMX.
- Clinical symptoms often included cough, dyspnea, fever, and chest pain, with over 90% showing elevated levels in key biochemical tests, suggesting the need for better early diagnosis and treatment strategies to enhance survival rates.
Rationale: Bacteremia caused by polymicrobial infections are rare but dangerous. We report a case of hepatic abscess combined with polymicrobial bacteremia in a 49-year-old male patient after surgery and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).
Patient Concerns: The patient was admitted to hospital with metastatic liver cancer for periodic chemotherapy and developed a high fever and tenderness to the liver following surgery and TACE.
Cryptococcosis is a globally distributed infectious fungal disease. However, much remains unknown about its molecular epidemiology in many parts of the world. In this study, we analyzed 86 clinical Cryptococcus neoformans isolates from 14 regions in Jiangxi Province in south central China.
