Fusobacterium nucleatum: a rare cause of pyogenic liver abscess
While pyogenic liver abscesses are uncommon, they are associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Most pyogenic liver abscesses are polymicrobial and are caused by enteric bacteria and anaerobes. Rarely, mono-microbial infections may occur, typically in immunocompromised individuals. We report the unusual case of a 69 year-old immunocompetent female who developed a pyogenic liver absce...
متن کاملGas-forming pyogenic liver abscess.
Gas-forming pyogenic liver abscess (GPLA) is an uncommon and potentially fatal disease that represents 7-24% of pyogenic liver abscess cases. Diabetes mellitus is a wellknown risk factor, and the main etiological agent is Klebsiella pneumoniae. Escherichia coli is also associated with gas formation, particularly in the presence of biliary disorders. In South America, parasitic diseases have bee...

متن کاملInfected Iliac Artery Aneurysm Concomitant with Liver Abscess Caused by Fusobacterium nucleatum
We report a case of infected iliac artery aneurysm concomitant with liver abscesses caused by Fusobacterium nucleatum. A 58-year-old man developed an aneurysm of the right common iliac artery and liver abscesses. The aneurysm was resected and a femoro-femoral crossover bypass with a knitted Dacron graft was performed for impending rupture. Anaerobic cultures obtained from blood and intramural t...

than disseminated. After the introduction of highly active ART (HAART), we again observed cases of MAC disease presenting in a similar way, and we also observed infectious and/or inflammatory disease caused by other pathogens [4–6]. As argued elsewhere [4, 7], we believe that these disease events also reflected the restoration of pathogen-specific immune responses, and we have proposed the term...
