Septic Shock Induced by Bacterial Prostatitis with Morganella morganii subsp. morganii in a Posttransplantation Patient
Bacterial infection is a common complication after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT). Morganella morganii is ubiquitous Gram-negative facultative anaerobe, which may cause many kinds of opportunistic infection. Herein we report a case of a 55-year-old man who presented with frequent urination, urgency, and mild pain that comes and goes low in the abdomen and around the anus. The pa...
متن کاملAdditive effect of nuclear and mitochondrial mutations in a patient with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy.
We describe the case of a woman in whom combination of a mitochondrial (MT-CYB) and a nuclear (SDHB) mutation was associated with clinical and metabolic features suggestive of a mitochondrial disorder. The mutations impaired overall energy metabolism in the patient's muscle and fibroblasts and increased cellular susceptibility to oxidative stress. To clarify the contribution of each mutation to...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory Effect of Ethanolic Extract of Euphorbia myrsinites in Lipopolysaccharide-induced Septic Shock in Mice
Background and purpose: Many herbs including Euphorbia have immunomodulatory properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory effects of the ethanolic extract of E.myrsinites. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, 40 Swiss albino male mice were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group A included healthy mice, group B was induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), grou...
