BACKGROUND When manifested as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) bacteremia, disseminated MTB infection clinically mimics other serious blood stream infections often hindering early diagnosis and initiation of potentially life-saving anti-tuberculosis therapy. In a cohort of hospitalized HIV-infected Ugandan patients with severe sepsis, we report the frequency, management and outcomes of patients...
Brill-Zinsser disease, the relapsing form of epidemic typhus, typically occurs in a susceptible host years or decades after the primary infection; however, the mechanisms of reactivation and the cellular reservoir during latency are poorly understood. Herein we describe a murine model for Brill-Zinsser disease, and use PCR and cell culture to show transient rickettsemia in mice treated with dex...
BACKGROUND Acinetobacter baumannii, an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen that can cause significant morbidity and mortality, has emerged as a worldwide problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for mortality in patients with A. baumannii bacteremia. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 118 patients who had A. baumannii bacteremia between July 2003 and Decem...
Abstract Background The optimal metronidazole dose for the treatment of Bacteroides spp. has not been defined. purpose this study was to evaluate utility a twice (BID), rather than thrice (TID) daily dosing strategy among patients with bacteremia due Methods Adult, hospitalized secondary between October 2010 and June 2021 were assessed across 11 hospitals. primary endpoint clinical failure whic...
The prevalence of the heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) phenotype among methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) blood isolates can reach 38%. hVISA bacteremia is known to be associated with vancomycin treatment failure, including persistent bacteremia. We conducted this study to evaluate risk factors for 12-week mortality in patients with hVISA bacteremia throug...
Non-faecalis and non-faecium enterococci are an occasional cause of bacteremia, and some cases of infective endocarditis caused by these pathogens have been reported. However, the rate of infective endocarditis in non-faecalis and non-faecium enterococcal bacteremia is still undetermined. We compared the clinical features and the rate of infective endocarditis of 70 cases of non-faecalis and no...
Group G Streptococcus (GGS) can cause severe infections, including bacteremia. These organisms often express a surface protein homologous to the Streptococcus pyogenes M protein. We retrospectively studied the characteristics of patients from the Hadassah Medical Center with GGS bacteremia from 1989 to 2000. Ninety-four cases of GGS bacteremia were identified in 84 patients. The median age was ...
The risk factors for relapse of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia after vancomycin treatment are unknown. Diversilab typing was used to classify recurrent bacteremia as relapse or reinfection. Bacteremia for >7 days and staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec element (SCCmec) type II were independently associated with relapse of MRSA bacteremia after vancomycin treatm...
We identified 17 cases of pneumococcal bacteremia among 340 neutropenic cancer patients with bacteremia. Pneumonia was more frequent in patients with pneumococcal bacteremia than in those with bacteremia due to other organisms: 12 (71%) of 17 patients with pneumococcal bacteremia had pneumonia, whereas only 23 (7%) of 323 patients with nonpneumococcal bacteremia had pneumonia (P < .001). Eight ...
TO THE EDITOR—We read with great interest the article by Bouza and colleagues on enterococcal bacteremia and the NOVA (Number of positive blood cultures, Origin of the bacteremia, previous Valve disease, Auscultation of heart murmur) score. The authors proposed a simple clinical score to rule out infective endocarditis (IE) among patients with enterococcal bloodstream infection and thus reduce ...
