Uncommon presentation of bacteremia: A case study on aortic valve endocarditis.
SAGE Open Med Case Rep
December 2024
Department of Graduate Medical Education, Internal Medicine Residency Program, Sutter Roseville Medical Center, Roseville, CA, USA.
, a HACEK organism, is one of five species known to less commonly cause infective endocarditis. This article presents a rare and noteworthy case of endocarditis affecting the aortic valve, seemingly unique when species in endocarditis were previously known to more commonly involve the pulmonic or mitral valves. In the setting of bacteremia, a 61-year-old male with no significant past medical history exhibited subtle systemic symptoms with a paucity of clinical signs associated with endocarditis and no evidence of embolic disease.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the pathogen epidemiology of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) among children in Southwest China before, during and after the COVID-19 non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs).
Methods: Pathogen data of hospitalised children with CAP, including multiple direct immunofluorescence test for seven viruses, bacterial culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Mycoplasma pneumoniae, were analysed across three phases: Phase I (pre-NPIs: 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019), Phase II (NPI period: 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020) and Phase III (post-NPIs: 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023).
Results: A total of 7533 cases were enrolled, including 2444, 1642 and 3447 individuals in Phases I, II and III, respectively.

Background: Our goal was to provide an overview of uptake rates across vaccine types and factors associated with vaccine uptake among cancer survivor populations.
Methods: A literature search was conducted using Ovid MEDLINE® ALL (Wolters Kluwer), Embase (Elsevier) and CINAHL Complete (EBSCO) databases and according to PRISMA guidelines. Eligible articles were limited to those examining vaccination uptake among cancer survivors who had completed treatment, reported factors associated with uptake (e.

Haemophilus influenzae, a causative agent of severe invasive infections such as meningitis, sepsis and pneumonia, is classified into encapsulated or typeable (represented by serotypes A to F) and non-typeable varieties (NTHi) by the presence or absence of the polysaccharide capsule. Invasive disease caused by H. influenzae type B (HIB) can be prevented through vaccination which remains the main disease control intervention in many countries.

Department of Bacteria, Parasites and Fungi, Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology, serotype distribution, phenotypical antibiogram, and molecular resistance gene characteristics of invasive infections in Denmark from 2014 to 2022. Additionally, the potential impact of outdoor temperature and COVID-19 restrictions on the epidemiology of was assessed.
Materials And Methods: Invasive isolates were received from patients with positive culture results from cerebrospinal fluid, blood, or other sterile sites.
