Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm Caused by Infective Endocarditis.
UNLABELLED A 32-year-old male presented with infective endocarditis and left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (PA). The patient was treated with oxacillin but remained intermittently febrile for the next 3 weeks. Blood culture revealed Staphylococcus aureus. Treatment with oxacillin 2 g every 4 hours gradually reduced the fever. Echocardiography then showed an aneurysm-like structure communicating wi...
متن کاملCommunity-Acquired Pyelonephritis in Pregnancy Caused by KPC-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) usually infect patients with significant comorbidities and health care exposures. We present a case of a pregnant woman who developed community-acquired pyelonephritis caused by KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. Despite antibiotic treatment, she experienced spontaneous prolonged rupture of membranes, with eventual delivery of a healthy infant. Th...
متن کاملEnormous Pedunculated Vegetation Originating in the Left Ventricular Apex in a Patient with Infective Endocarditis
A healthy teenage Japanese girl was admitted to our hospital after experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. She had attempted to commit suicide by taking 4,950 mg of disopyramide and 12 mg of flunitrazepam. Mechanical cardiopulmonary support was started with percutaneous cannulation of the femoral vessels. Several days later, a blood culture tested positive for Staphylococcus aureus. Transt...
متن کاملPerimembranous ventricular septal defect vegetation in a patient with right- and left-sided infective endocarditis.
A 27-year-old-man was admitted with fever and elevated inflammatory parameters, attributed to multiple small lung abscesses. At admission a continuous systolic--diastolic murmur was heard from the left sternal edge to the apex. Workup included transthoracic echocardiography, which revealed a restrictive perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) (velocity 4.89 m/s) partly covered by a previ...
متن کاملAcquired ventricular septal defect due to infective endocarditis
Acquired intracardiac left-to-right shunts are rare occurrences. Chest trauma and myocardial infection are well-known causes of acquired ventricular septal defect (VSD). There have been several case reports describing left ventricle to right atrium shunt after infective endocarditis (IE). We present here a patient found to have an acquired VSD secondary to IE of the aortic and tricuspid valves ...
