Bacteraemia with Moryella indoligenes and Fastidiosipila sanguinis: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Moryella indoligenes and Fastidiosipila sanguinis are obligate anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria that are rarely involved in human infections. We present the first case of bacteraemia with M. indoligenes , which was part of a co-infection with F. sanguinis . Both micro-organisms were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and M. indoligenes was also identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Prostate cancer involving the bladder suggests that the urinary tract was the most likely primary site of infection.

Propionimicrobium lymphophilum and Actinotignum schaalii bacteraemia: a case report.

Project description:Propionimicrobium lymphophilum is an anaerobic Gram-positive bacillus that exists in human skin and urinary tract. The pathogenicity is, however, not well known. Only two cases of urinary tract infection have been described recently. In the case presented here, the bacterium was isolated, concomitant with Actinotignum schaalii, from blood culture of a patient with fever and difficulty of urination. The bacteria were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA sequencing. The case was successfully treated with ampicillin/sulbactam.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.

Chryseobacterium bacteraemia in a patient with heart failure: case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundA 29-year-old male with recently diagnosed biventricular failure from myopericarditis and subsequent constrictive pericarditis on home milrinone presented to the Emergency Department with fevers/chills.Case summaryOn arrival to the Emergency Department, he was found to have septic shock and required vasopressor therapy. Chryseobacterium indologenes grew on his admission blood cultures, and he was treated with ciprofloxacin and piperacillin/tazobactam. He quickly improved, allowing for a successful pericardiectomy, was weaned off inotropes and discharged from the hospital.DiscussionChryseobacterium indologenes is an environmental Gram-negative rod found in groundwater. It is rarely associated with human infection, but is associated with indwelling lines and has been documented in immunocompromised patients. Treatment typically involves line removal and a fluoroquinolone or piperacillin/tazobactam; the most optimal antimicrobial regimen and duration of treatment are unknown.

Sneathia amnii bacteraemia and chorioamnionitis leading to second trimester abortion: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundSneathia amnii (formerly designated as Leptotrichia amnionii ) was first described in 2002 in the USA. Members of the genus Sneathia can be part of the normal flora of the genitourinary tract, but have been implicated in invasive (mostly gynaecological) infections.Case presentationTo the best of our knowledge, here we present the first case of S. amnii infection in Belgium, in a young woman presenting with fever leading to second trimester septic abortion.ConclusionDespite its pathogenicity, S. amnii remains an underrated cause of infections due to inherent difficulties with conventional laboratory methods. By extracting the bacterial DNA directly from the blood culture broth and performing a 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequence analysis we succeeded in identifying S. amnii as the most probable cause of the septic abortion in our patient.

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.

Glioneuronal tumor with CLIP2-MET fusion: A case report

Project description:Glioneuronal tumor (GN) is one type of biphasic central nervous system (CNS) tumor that exhibits both glial and neuronal immunohistological characteristics. We report a case of glioneuronal tumor (GN) with a discovery of novel gene fusion of CLIP2-MET resulting from aberrant chromosome 7 abnormalities. The tumor exhibited typical characteristics on histological examinations. We executed an elaborate genomic study on this case including whole-exome sequencing and RNA sequencing. Genomic analysis of the tumor revealed aberrations in chromosomes 1 and 7 and a CLIP2-MET fusion. Further analysis of the upregulated genes revealed substantial connections with MAPK pathway activation. We concluded that the chromosome 7 abnormalities prompted CLIP2-MET gene fusion which successively leads to MAPK pathway activation. We deliberated that MAPK pathway activation is responsible for the oncogenesis of GN based on our case and other previously reported ones.

Polymicrobial purulent pericarditis and peritoneal effusion in an immunocompromised patient with Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia: a case report.

Project description:Polymicrobial pericarditis is an extremely rare and lethal form of pericarditis. Prompt initiation of appropriate antimicrobial treatment and pericardial drainage are crucial. A 57-year-old immunocompromised male patient presented to the emergency department due to dyspnoea, chest pain, and fever lasting for 7 days. Following clinical, laboratory, and imaging work-up, he was found to have pericardial effusion with signs of tamponade. After pericardiocentesis through subxiphoid and apical approaches, 800 mL of gross purulent fluid was obtained. Blood and pericardial fluid cultures confirmed the diagnosis of polymicrobial purulent pericarditis (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacteroides vulgatus). Further work-up revealed minor peritoneal effusion, and paracentesis fluid culture revealed the presence of S. aureus and, additionally, Candida albicans. After treatment initiation with intravenous antibiotics, pericardial, drainage and supportive measures, the patient's condition initially improved despite the development of constrictive pericarditis. However, he suddenly deteriorated after 37 days of hospitalization and passed away after 51 days of hospitalization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of purulent pericarditis and purulent peritoneal effusion in the settings of S. aureus bacteraemia with an absent primary infection focus. Clinicians should be aware of treatment options for purulent pericarditis and consider intrapericardial fibrinolysis, especially in patients not suited for more invasive pericarditis treatment.
