First comprehensively documented case of Paracoccus yeei infection in a human.

ABSTRACT: Paracoccus yeei was isolated in pure culture from an aerobic blood culture and bulla fluid from a 67-year-old male. The biochemical identification scheme for this recently described species is outlined. Because of its reaction pattern it is not unlikely that P. yeei is underdiagnosed.

Complete Genome Sequence of Paracoccus yeei TT13, Isolated from Human Skin.

Project description:Paracoccus yeei TT13 was isolated from human skin because of its ability to degrade propylene glycol. Here, we present the whole-genome sequence of this strain; it possesses one 3.58-Mb chromosome and six plasmids. TT13 genome analysis indicated that this bacterium has denitrification potential.

Corneal graft rejection complicated by Paracoccus yeei infection in a patient who had undergone a penetrating keratoplasty.

Project description:A 68-year-old man who had undergone two penetrating keratoplasties of his left eye was admitted with early corneal graft failure. Culture of the anterior chamber fluid yielded Paracoccus yeei, a nonfermentative gram-negative bacillus which thus far had only been implicated in ocular disease by means of PCR and 16S rRNA gene sequencing directly on patient material.

First documented case of Myhre syndrome in Romania: A case report.

Project description:Myhre syndrome is a rare genetic autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder, characterized by developmental delay, characteristic facial features, various bone and joint abnormalities, distinctive cardiovascular, ophthalmological and ear, nose and throat (ENT) manifestations, in association with mild to moderate intellectual disability and autism or autism spectrum disorder-like behaviour. The diagnosis of Myhre syndrome is established corroborating the clinical findings with SMAD4 heterozygous mutation identified in the majority of the patients. SMAD4 gene mutations result in abnormal TGF-β signalling in several cell types, which affects the development of several body systems and leads to the specific phenotype of Myhre syndrome. We herein report the case of an 18-year-old female patient who was diagnosed at the age of 17 years with Myhre syndrome, the first documented case of this syndrome in Romania. Sequence analysis of protein-coding genes using whole-exome analysis identified a 'de novo', heterozygous missense variant of SMAD4, c.1498A>G, p. (Ile500Val), which is pathogenic for Myhre syndrome. Although this condition is rare, a series of particularities were identified in the present case, consisting of severe allergic reactions, recurrent ENT tumour development and delayed dental eruption, which have not been described in Myhre syndrome to date, to the best of the authors' knowledge.

DRESS syndrome in response to Denosumab: First documented case report.

Project description:Denosumab is an antiresorptive drug targeting RANK ligand, currently licensed for postmenopausal and male osteoporosis, bone loss associated with hormone ablation in men with prostate cancer and with systemic glucocorticoid treatment, and also used in oncology for the treatment of bone metastases and unresectable giant cell tumour of bone. When used for the treatment of osteoporosis or bone loss the drug is usually well-tolerated with non-specific musculoskeletal pain being the most common side effect. However denosumab has been associated with some dermatological manifestations including dermatitis, eczema, pruritus and, less commonly, cellulitis. All these side effects are generally mild and self-limiting. We hereby report the first documented case of Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) syndrome following denosumab administration. DRESS syndrome is an extremely rare but potentially life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction. The syndrome should be considered in patients who present with new rash, eosinophilia and systemic organ dysfunction, especially when associated with new medications. Notably it has been previously reported in patients with osteoporosis treated with strontium ranelate but it has never been linked to any other antiosteoporotic drugs. Since the clinical manifestations of DRESS syndrome can span over a period of several months the diagnosis can frequently be quite difficult and it can become even more challenging in people taking denosumab and other drugs given in period doses, as both clinicians and patients are less likely to link the symptoms to the medication. Better recognition of DRESS syndrome is therefore needed, as well as awareness of the possibility of this reaction to occur in patients taking denosumab.

First human case of Fastidiosipila sanguinis infection.

Project description:Fastidiosipila sanguinis is a Gram-positive anaerobic coccus. We report the first case of osteitis implicating this species. The strain was accurately identified by 16S rRNA sequence analysis, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) identification having failed. The reservoir remained unclear; an endogenous origin is suspected.
