ABSTRACT:Objective:To describe a case of Pasteurella multocida meningitis associated with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM).Case report:A 33-year-old woman employed in a dog pound presented herself to hospital with fever and meningismus and was found to have culture positive Pasteurella multocida meningitis. Despite appropriate antibiotic treatment her clinical course was characterized by a persistent fever and worsening encephalopathy, which prompted further neurological investigation. Spinal fluid exam and serial MRI scans as well as her one-year clinical course were found to be compatible with ADEM.Conclusion:Persistent fever and worsening encephalopathy in meningitis may indicate a para-infectious immune process such as ADEM, and may serve as indications for further neurological investigation.

Success Of Treatment

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia peritonitis has been only occasionally reported in patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Because this microorganism has multi-drug resistance, its treatment is hard and long-term. The treatment might not be successful despite all the efforts and the process of peritoneal dialysis, and may terminate with loss of the catheter. In the present paper, S. maltophilia peritonitis developed in a 6-year-old girl patient, who underwent peritoneal dialysis due to bilateral dysplastic kidney, suffered from episodes of peritonitis frequently and required hospitalization, was presented with literature data. Even though the case received multiple antibiotic treatment and underwent endoluminal brushing (EB), the success of treatment could not be achieved. To the best of our knowledge, this patient is the youngest case in the literature.

Prosthetic Joint Infections

Introduction: Bordetella holmesii is a Gram-negative coccobacillus involved in different infections mostly described in case reports. Prosthetic joint infections in relation to this pathogen are rare. Here, we present the third case of B. holmesii in a patient without anatomical or functional spleen dysfunction. Case report: The patient was a 62-year-old female with a total knee prosthesis implanted in 1997 that required multiple replacements of the femoral component due to aseptic loosening in the past years. The patient was admitted to our hospital for an elective replacement surgery due to new radiological signs of loosening. B. holmesii was isolated from synovial fluid obtained during surgery. The identification was performed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry and confirmed by 16S rRNA gene amplification and sequencing. Antibiotic treatment was started but 14 days after surgery the patient presented pain and joint effusion. An arthrocentesis was performed and synovial fluid culture was positive again for B. holmesii. Surgical debridement including polyethylene replacement was performed and antibiotic treatment was continued for 3 months. After a 2-year follow-up period, the patient remained asymptomatic and physical examination showed normal function of the prosthesis. Conclusion: B. holmesii is an uncommon cause of bone and joint infections. This case indicates that this microorganism is a potential pathogen of prosthetic or native arthritis, and it should be considered when cultures are negative and in cases presenting torpid evolution.

This case report describes a case of endogenous endophthalmitis in a 58 year old man upon a background of urosepsis and bronchitis. The patient was hospitalised at a department of internal medicine in another hospital. The day after admittance he was sent to our clinic for a consultation examination due to worsening of vision and pain in the left eye. The condition was diagnosed as endogenous endophthalmitis. Visual acuity at the first examination was hand movement in front of the eye. Intravitreal therapy was commenced with a combination of two antibiotics (ceftazidime 2 mg/ 0.1 ml and vancomycin 1 mg/0.1 ml) and an antimycotic agent (amphotericin B 10 μg/0.1 ml). Over the course of two weeks the patient received this antibiotic treatment intravitreally 3x in total. During the first application of antibiotics, material was sampled from the anterior chamber of the eye for a microbiological examination – the result was negative. The blood culture tested positive for staphylococcus aureus. Intravenous application of antibiotics (gentamicin 240 mg i.v. every 24 hours and amoxicillin with clavulanic acid 1.2 g i.v. every 8 hours) was set for two weeks, and then antibiotic treatment continued (ciprofloxacin 500 mg every 12 hours) and antimycotic therapy (itraconazole 100 mg every 12 hours) orally for 2 months. Four weeks after the beginning of therapy, visual acuity in the left eye was 20/100 and after two months 20/40. The study emphasises the advantage of multi-disciplinary co-operation.

Abstract Salmonella osteomyelitis is a rare entity, typically associated with hemoglobinopathies or other underlying disorders. We report a case of Salmonella osteomyelitis of the right knee in an otherwise healthy 1-year-old boy. He received 8 weeks (2 weeks intravenous and 6 weeks oral) of antibiotic treatment, with full recovery.

Life Threatening Complication

Brucellaendocarditis (BE) is a rare but life threatening complication ofbrucellosis. We present a case report of a patient with relapsing brucellosis complicated with aortic valve endocarditis. The patient underwent valve replacement and required prolonged antibiotic treatment because of rupture of the noncoronary leaflet and development of congestive heart failure. Since the onset of endocarditis in patients with brucellosis is not known, proper follow-up is required in order to identify any late onset complications, especially in endemic areas.
