Postpartum Ovarian Vein Thrombophlebitis with Staphylococcal Bacteremia
A 34-year-old female patient presented with fever and right flank pain ten days after uncomplicated vaginal delivery. CT examination revealed right ovarian vein thrombosis and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was isolated from blood cultures. No other source of bacteremia was found. Antibiotic therapy and anticoagulation with enoxaparin were instituted. Fourteen days after adm...
متن کاملRole of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 in pathogenesis of staphylococcal arthritis and in host defense against staphylococcal bacteremia.
Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that interacts with two integrins, LFA-1 and Mac-1. These interactions are critical for leukocyte extravasation into inflamed tissue. To assess the role of ICAM-1 expression in the pathogenesis of bacterial infection, homozygously mutant mice lacking the ICAM-1 gene were exposed to Staphylococcus aureus. Wi...
متن کاملManagement of the catheter in documented catheter-related coagulase-negative staphylococcal bacteremia: remove or retain?
BACKGROUND Studies and guidelines recommending the retention of the central venous catheter (CVC) in patients with coagulase-negative staphylococcal bacteremia were based on loose definitions of bacteremia and/or did not evaluate the risk of recurrence. In this study, we used strict definitions of coagulase-negative staphylococcal bacteremia to determine the impact of CVC retention on response ...
متن کاملUse of rifampin in persistent coagulase negative staphylococcal bacteremia in neonates
BACKGROUND Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) are the most common cause of neonatal sepsis in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). A minority of neonates does not respond to vancomycin therapy and develops persistent bacteremia, which may be treated with rifampin. We evaluated the use of rifampin in persistent CoNS bacteremia. METHODS Retrospective study of 137 neonates with CoNS bac...
متن کاملUsefulness of Multiplex Real-Time PCR for Simultaneous Pathogen Detection and Resistance Profiling of Staphylococcal Bacteremia
Staphylococci are the leading cause of nosocomial blood stream infections. Fast and accurate identification of staphylococci and confirmation of their methicillin resistance are crucial for immediate treatment with effective antibiotics. A multiplex real-time PCR assay that targets mecA, femA specific for S. aureus, femA specific for S. epidermidis, 16S rRNA for universal bacteria, and 16S rRNA...
