Chronic subdural empyema and cranial vault osteomyelitis due to Salmonella paratyphi A

Neonatal diarrhoea due to Salmonella paratyphi B.

The infection was introduced into the maternity home by a Mrs. C., who had a bout of diarrhoea and vomiting four days before she was admitted on May 27, her membranes having ruptured prematurely. She was delivered in her own single room within an hour of admission, so was in effect isolated from the outset. As Mrs. C. reported neither her original attack nor the diarrhoea which was continuing h...

Preoperative MR Diagnosis Of Spinal Subdural Empyema-Secondary to Osteomyelitis and Epidural Empyema

Only few cases of spinal subdural empyema has been reported in the literature and the preoperative diagnosis is much less. Due to the advance of magnetic resonance imaging techniques, we reported a 75 years old female with spinal subdural empyema. She was a diabetic patient and received laminectomy, complicated with vertebral body osteomyelitis about 15 years ago at the 4th and 5th vertebral bo...

Neonatal sepsis due to Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi A.

Sepsis due to Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and Paratyphi A is rare in neonates. Though described as a mild and unrecognized illness in infants, life-threatening complications and even deaths have been reported. We present five cases of neonatal septicaemia due to S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi A. The cases were presented because of their interesting clinical presentations and possible modes of ...

Intracranial subdural empyema mimicking a recurrent chronic subdural hematoma

Intracranial subdural empyema (ISDE) is a life-threatening condition. The risk for ISDE increases in patients that have undergone prior intracranial procedures. The non-specificity in its clinical presentation often makes ISDE difficult to diagnose. Here, we present a rare case of ISDE mimicking a recurrent chronic subdural hematoma, emphasizing the significance of obtaining early magnetic reso...
