متن کاملFatal Emmonsia sp. Infection and Fungemia after Orthotopic Liver Transplantation
We report a fatal case of disseminated Emmonsia sp. infection in a 55-year-old man who received an orthotopic liver transplant. The patient had pneumonia and fungemia, and multisystem organ failure developed. As human habitats and the number of immunocompromised patients increase, physicians must be aware of this emerging fungal infection.
متن کاملMultisystem organ failure predicts mortality of ICU patients with acute respiratory failure secondary to AIDS-related PCP.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the ability of a variety of scoring systems to predict mortality of patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with acute respiratory failure (ARF) secondary to AIDS-related Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). METHODS All patients with AIDS-related PCP admitted to ICU at St. Paul's Hospital between January 1, 1985 and April 1, 1991 were reviewed. For each case, ...
متن کاملSepsis requiring intensive care following intramuscular injections: two case reports
INTRODUCTION Intramuscular injections can rarely result in serious infectious complications such as abscesses which may progress to bacteraemia and generalized sepsis. These complications are rare, but can be life threatening, as they can lead to multi-organ failure associated with high morbidity and mortality. CASE PRESENTATION In this report we present two patients who developed life-threat...
متن کاملDecreased cardiac excitability secondary to reduction of sodium current may be a significant contributor to reduced contractility in a rat model of sepsis
INTRODUCTION Multisystem organ failure remains a poorly understood complication of sepsis. During sepsis, reduced excitability contributes to organ failure of skeletal muscle, nerves and the spinal cord. The goal of this study was to determine whether reduced excitability might also contribute to cardiac failure during sepsis. METHODS Wistar rats were made septic by cecal ligation and punctur...
