Background. Pyogenic granuloma is a reactive tumor-like lesion commonly affecting the oral cavity. These lesions usually appear as localized solitary nodule with a sessile or pedunculated base and colour varying from red, purplish, or pink, depending on the vascularity of the lesion. Pyogenic granuloma shows predilection for gingiva and is usually slow growing, but at times it shows rapid growt...

A54-year-oldmanwhohadbeen suffering from abdominal pain for several months was admitted for minor rectal bleeding. Physical examination found mild abdominal tenderness in the left upper quadrant, andwas otherwise unremarkable. The following laboratory indices were found: hemoglobin rate, 13.9g/dL; white blood cell count, 14000/mm3; C-reactive protein, 12mg/dL. Colonoscopy revealed a pedunculate...

Pyogenic sacroiliitis is rare and accounts for approximately 1-2% of osteoarticular infections in children. Considerable delay between presentation and diagnosis is recognized. Two cases of pyogenic sacroiliitis are described. The first case is a 28-month-old girl presented with acute onset of fever, pain in the left hip, and limpness. Computed tomography (CT), bone scans, and magnetic resonanc...

Backgrounds/Aims Gas-forming pyogenic liver abscess (GFPLA) has an incidence of up to 30% of all pyogenic liver abscesses (PLA). GFPLA has higher mortality compared to non-GFPLA. Mere presence of gas within abscess may not determine clinical outcome. Hence it is important to study biologic characteristics that make GFPLA a distinct clinical entity. The aim of this study was to conduct a world r...

Oral pyogenic granuloma is a common benign (non-cancerous) growth of blood vessels on the oral tissue. It usually appears as a fast growing red nodule and commonly bleeds. They are neither infective, purulent nor granulomatous as the name might suggest, rather they are reactive enlargement that is an inflammatory response to local irritation such as calculus,fractured tooth, minor trauma, rough...

All over the globe, the incidence of vertebral infection is rising. Nowadays, compared to tuberculous variety, pyogenic spondylodiscitis incidence is high. The increase in the susceptible population and improved diagnostics summatively contributed to this. In clinical grounds, differentiation of pyogenic and tuberculous spondylodiscitis is well defined. Enterobacter agglomerans is a hospital co...

BACKGROUND Pyogenic granuloma is a frequently diagnosed, benign vascular lesion. OBJECTIVES To present the use of the combined continuous-wave/pulsed carbon dioxide (CO2) laser as an innovative therapeutic method, to compare it with established methods, and to assess its results. DESIGN Prospective observational study between March 1998 and July 2000, comprising 1 treatment session with 6-w...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the concordance of results of blood and tissue cultures in patients with pyogenic spondylitis. METHODS We searched for patients with pyogenic spondylitis in whom microorganisms were isolated from both blood and tissue cultures by retrospective review of medical records in three tertiary university-affiliated hospitals between January 2005 and December 2015. The speci...

The lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH), also known as pyogenic granuloma, is a benign tumor of the skin or mucosa, etiology still unclear. Clinically, it typically presents red-livid papule with rapid growth and tendency to bleed.

Pyogenic spondylodiscitis is an uncommon bacterial infection of the intervertebral disc and vertebral endplates. It usually affects elderly patients with comorbidities but may be also seen after surgical procedures in young patients, mostly spinal interventions genitourinary procedures. This article describes a rare case pyogenic female patient cesarean section without anesthesia. The presented...
