Apoptotic neutrophils in ascitic fluid.
A 60-year-old man with known hepatitis C, cirrhosis, and mild hepatosplenomegaly was admitted for ascites. He had pancytopenia with leukocyte count 2.6 3 10/L, mild neutropenia 1.6 3 10/L, macrocytic anemia, and mild thrombocytopenia. Elevated international normalized ratio, low albumin, high bilirubin, and elevated liver enzymes were noted. Therapeutic paracentesis was performed, and ascitic f...
متن کاملInfective Endocarditis: A Rare Organism in an Uncommon Setting
Facklamia hominis is a rare causative organism of infective endocarditis (IE). Only few cases of infection due to F. hominis have been reported in the literature. We describe a case of IE due to Gram-positive, alpha-haemolytic, catalase-negative coccus F. hominis in an adult patient with rheumatic mitral stenosis. Isolated mitral stenosis is an uncommon valve lesion predisposing to IE. The foll...
متن کاملThe Circulation of Ascitic Fluid
After plasma containing labeled plasma protein has been given intraperitoneally to dogs with experimental ascites a steady and rather rapid movement takes place of the labeled protein into the circulating blood. When plasma containing labeled plasma protein has been injected intravenously into the ascitic dog the labeled protein steadily disappears from the circulating blood and appears promptl...
متن کاملPeritoneal dialysis peritonitis: common presentation by an uncommon organism.
Peritonitis remains a leading complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). About 18% of the infection-related mortality in PD patients is a result of peritonitis. We present a case of peritonitis in a patient on automated PD in whom the infection was not related to a break in PD technique, but to an unusual cause: retrograde transmission of a gonococcal organism.
