Cervical spondylitis and spinal abscess due to Actinomyces meyeri.
Human actinomycosis with involvement of the spine is a rare condition although it has been first described a long time ago. It is probably underrecognized since its clinical presentation is often misleading and accurate bacteriological diagnosis is challenging. We herein report a rare case of cervical actinomycosis with paravertebral abscess and spondylitis imputed to an infection by Actinomyce...
متن کاملChronic Postoperative Endophthalmitis Caused by Actinomyces meyeri
We report a female patient who developed chronic endophthalmitis after an uneventful cataract surgery. Cultures of aqueous humor and a vitreous sample showed positivity for Actinomyces meyeri. Intense anterior segment inflammation and a less evident impairment of the patient's posterior segment led us to treat her vigorously with pars plana vitrectomy combined with intraocular and topical antib...

Brain Abscess Due to Arcanobacterium haemolyticum after Dental Extraction To the Editor—It has been suggested that 5%–20% of brain abscesses are presumably associated with oral infections or dental procedures [1–4], in which organisms belonging to the oropharyngeal flora, such as Arcanobacterium haemolyticum, are involved [5, 6]. This organism has been documented in cases of pharyngitis and wou...
متن کاملA Case of Disseminated Infection due to Actinomyces meyeri Involving Lung and Brain
Actinomyces meyeri is rarely isolated in cases of actinomycosis. The identification of A. meyeri had historically been difficult and unreliable. With the recent development of 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) sequencing, Actinomyces species such as A. meyeri can be isolated much more reliably. A. meyeri often causes disseminated disease, which can be secondary to frequent pulmonary infections. A pe...
متن کاملActinomyces meyeri Popliteal Cyst Infection and Review of the Literature
A 66-year-old, Caucasian male presented with pain and swelling involving the left knee of one-week duration. Arthrocentesis was negative for evidence of septic arthritis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study of the left knee showed degenerative arthritis, partial tear of medial meniscus, and a complex fluid collection along the posteromedial aspect of the left knee suggestive of popliteal cys...
