Necrotizing fasciitis caused by Apophysomyces variabilis in an immunocompetent patient.

Project description:Mucormycosis caused by Apophysomyces variabilis is rarely reported in humans. A case of A. variabilis infection in an immunocompetent men after friction burns in a car accident is described. The infection presented as a rapidly progressive necrotizing infection of the skin and soft tissue, which required extensive surgical debridement and total colonic defunctioning colostomy associated with prolonged antifungal therapy. A. variabilis infection should be considered as a differential diagnosis of rapidly progressive necrotizing skin and soft tissue infections in immunocompetent individuals.

Brain abscess caused by Tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens in an immunocompetent patient.

Project description:We describe a previously healthy patient with chronic otitis media complicated with cerebellar abscess caused by Tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens. The organism was identified based on conventional biochemical identification methods, PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the hsp65 gene, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The patient was treated successfully with debridements and prolonged antibiotic therapy.

Tibial osteomyelitis caused by Gordonia bronchialis in an immunocompetent patient.

Project description:Gordonia species are aerobic Gram-positive bacilli that rarely cause human infections, often in the setting of indwelling intravascular catheters. We report the first case of osteomyelitis caused by Gordonia bronchialis in a healthy immunocompetent host in the absence of an intravascular catheter.

Subcutaneous mycoses caused by Rhytidhysteron species in an immunocompetent patient.

Project description:Subcutaneous mycoses are chronic fungal infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissues caused by variety of fungal agents and usually occur following trauma with vegetative matter. We report a case of subcutaneous mycoses caused by rare fungus belonging to the genus Rhytidhysteron, in an immunocompetent male who presented with a subcutaneous nodule on left foot. This unusual species was identified and confirmed by molecular methods.

Recurrent breast abscess caused by Gordonia bronchialis in an immunocompetent patient.

Project description:We present the first reported case of a recurrent breast infection caused by Gordonia bronchialis. The infection occurred in a 43-year-old immunocompetent female, and species level identification was obtained with 16S rRNA sequencing.

Cerebral macroabscess caused by Candida albicans in an immunocompetent patient: A diagnostic challenge.

Project description:We describe the history of a 24-year-old immunocompetent man with an expansive lesion in the brainstem that, after many misdiagnoses, was found to be caused by a Candida albicans abscess. One year after surgery and 3 months of fluconazole treatment, the patient was asymptomatic and all image and laboratory tests were normal.

First case of bacteremia and multifocal cellulitis due to Helicobacter canis in an immunocompetent patient.

Project description:Bacteremia due to Helicobacter canis has been reported in a patient with X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia. Here we report on the first human case of H. canis bacteremia in an immunocompetent host. Identification of the organism was made by genetic and phylogenetic analyses of the complete 16S rRNA sequence.

Brain Abscess Caused by <i>Nocardia brevicatena</i> in an Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report.

Project description:Nocardia brain abscess is relatively rare and generally occurs in immunodeficient patients. Here, we present the first case of brain abscess due to Nocardia brevicatena in an immunocompetent patient, with unknown origin. In this case, a 49-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with limb twitching and complained of a history of intermittent headache. He was diagnosed with brain abscess through brain imaging and cured after craniotomy for abscess excision and targeted antibiotic treatment. Surgical specimens were sent for further detection. The causative organism was identified by weak acid-fast staining, culture and metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). We hope this case could provide a reference for incoming patients as well as their clinical management.

Immunocompetent patient with a brain abscess caused by Nocardia beijingensis in Latin America: A case report.

Project description:RationaleNocardia species are not commonly referred as primary infectious entities but rather as opportunistic pathogens. Infectious cases of Nocardia spp. in immunocompetent individuals are rare.Patient concernsAn immunocompetent 58-year-old patient presented with recurrent headaches.DiagnosisA brain abscess was found and surgically drained. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry and heat shock protein 65/16S-23S rRNA gene intergenic spacer genotyping from the sample revealed the etiological agent as Nocardia beijingensis.InterventionsMeropenem/amikacin/Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole were administered.OutcomesThe infection persisted leading to the patient's death.LessonsHere we present the first case of N. beijingensis infection of the central nervous system in an immunocompetent patient from Latin America. Further inquiry is needed to establish whether this species is more virulent than other Nocardia isolates.
