is a non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) that sporadically causes infections in humans and can cause rare bone and joint infections in immunocompromised hosts with history of spinal surgery. This slow-growing mycobacterium takes 8-12 weeks to grow on culture. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (MNGS) is a highly sensitive and specific plasma-based microbial cell-free DNA test that can detect weeks prior to culture growth.

Background: Peripheral venous catheter (PVC) complications occur on average in approximately half of patients, necessitating premature PVC removal, suspending administration of ongoing therapies, and catheter replacement.
Aim: To estimate the current incidence, complications, and costs of bloodstream infection (BSI) attributable to PVCs.
Methods: Patients with PVC-related BSI (cases) were matched with patients without PVC-related BSI (controls).
Common Options and Overlooked Alternative for Drainage of Inaccessible Presacral Abscess: A Case Report.
Acta Med Litu
March 2021
Vilnius University Faculty of Medicine, M. K. Čiurlionio Str. 21, LT-03101 Vilnius, Lithuania.
Purpose: To demonstrate options and alternative for drainage of inaccessible presacral abscess by the example of a rare clinical case of pyogenic spondylodiscitis, transsacraly drained under a combination of two interventional techniques - CT-guided bone biopsy and abscess drainage.
Materials And Methods: A 55-year-old patient with history of recurrent paravertebral abscesses previously treated with antibiotic therapy was referred to our institution experiencing lower back pain and weakness in both lower extremities. Computed tomography revealed pyogenic spondylodiscitis along with left facet joint destruction and presacral abscess located in ventral sacral surface.
Background The surgical treatment of degenerative disc disease L5-S1 is considerably controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiographic and clinical results of patients treated with AxiaLif® Technique (AxiaLif®, AMSGroup, Italy) using a minimally invasive pre-sacral approach. Methods From 2013 to 2018 a total of 52 patients have been treated (12 M, 40 F; mean age 46.

J Med Case Rep

Department of Anesthesiology, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, 200 First St SW, Rochester, MN, 55905, USA.
Background: Although spinal infections have been reported following dental procedures, development of a spinal infection attributed to poor dentition without a history of a dental procedure in an immunocompetent adult has not been previously reported. Here we provide a case report of a multilevel lumbar spine infection that developed in an immunocompetent adult with poor dentition.
Case Presentation: A 63-year-old white male man with past medical history of hypertension presented to a hospital emergency department with a 4-month history of progressively worsening low back pain.
