Mucormycosis is an uncommon opportunistic infection and the gastrointestinal form is the rarest.Rhizopus sp. is the most frequent pathogen and infection occurs almost exclusively in immunocompromised patients. We describe the first case of intestinal mucormycosis occurring after aStreptococcus pyogenestoxic shock syndrome in a previously healthy patient caused byRhizopus microsporusvar.azygosporus.

Abstract Clostridium sordellii is a gram-positive anaerobic bacteria most commonly isolated from skin and soft tissue infection, penetrating injurious and intravenous drug abusers. The exotoxins produced by the bacteria are associated with toxic shock syndrome. We report here a first case of infective endocarditis due to C. sordellii from a female patient with ventricular septal defect from India.

Abstract Neonatal toxic shock syndrome (TSS)-like exanthematous disease (NTED) is a syndrome first reported in Japan. Neonates develop systemic exanthema, thrombocytopenia, and fever usually during the first week of life. The disease is distinguished from frank TSS because affected infants are not severely ill and do not meet TSS criteria. Most infants are confirmed to be colonized with TSST-1 producing strains of S. aureus. Suggested diagnostic criteria for NTED include a skin rash with generalized macular erythema and one of the following symptoms: fever >38.0°C, thrombocytopenia <150 x103uL, or low positive C-reactive protein (1-5 mg/dL) in the absence of another known disease process. NTED is common in Japanese NICUs, but outside Japan, only one case has been reported in France. We describe the first case of NTED reported in North America.

This is a case report that describe an association of AIDS, visceral leishmaniasis and probable disseminated tuberculosis. Due to the spread of AIDS in developing areas worldwide this association would be more frequently, seen on subjects from endemic areas where this protozoonosis is prevalent. More than one opportunistic infection related with the endemic diseases of the developing regions can be associated with those immunocompromised patients.
