Onychomycosis caused by Blastoschizomyces capitatus.
Blastoschizomyces capitatus was cultured from the nail of a healthy patient with onychomycosis. The identity of the isolate was initially established by standard methods and ultrastructural analysis and was verified by molecular probing. Strains ATCC 200929, ATCC 62963, and ATCC 62964 served as reference strains for these analyses. To our knowledge, this is the first case of nail infection seco...
متن کاملOsteomyelitis and intervertebral discitis caused by Pseudomonas pickettii.
Pseudomonas pickettii, a nonfermenting, gram-negative rod, is rarely pathogenic. Previous reports of infection with P. pickettii have largely involved direct contamination of supplies presumed to be sterile. We describe a case of vertebral osteomyelitis and intervertebral discitis caused by P. pickettii in a debilitated patient. The aggressive nature of this infection demonstrates that P. picke...
متن کاملFatal Blastoschizomyces capitatus sepsis in a diabetic patient with sinusitis
Blastoschizomyces capitatus is an emerging fungal pathogen. We describe a case of fungal sinusitis and invasive fungal septicemia due to B. capitatus in a 65-year-old male patient who was a known cardiac and diabetic patient. The patient was treated with antibiotics but succumbed due to delay in treatment with amphotericin-B. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2012; 2(4): 165-167
متن کامل[Retropharyngeal abscess with cervical discitis and vertebral osteomyelitis caused by Escherichia coli in a patient with liver cirrhosis].
We describe the case of a 67-year-old male with liver cirrhosis who presented with fever and neck pain. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine detected cervical vertebral osteomyelitis, and enhanced CT of the neck and spine revealed retropharyngeal abscess. The patient was treated with empirical antimicrobial therapy and surgical drainage due to significant airway involvement. Escherichia coli...
متن کاملBlastoschizomyces capitatus infection in patients with leukemia: report of 26 cases.
Twenty-six cases of Blastoschizomyces capitatus infection were diagnosed in 25 patients at 7 tertiary care hematology units in Spain over a 10-year period. Most patients (92%) had acute leukemia and developed infection during a period of severe and prolonged neutropenia. Two patients had esophagitis, and the rest had invasive infection. Fungemia (20 cases) was a common finding, with frequent vi...
