DERAKHSHANFAR, A., R. GHANBARPOUR: A study on avian cellulitis in broiler chickens. Vet. arhiv 72, 277-284, 2002. ABSTRACT Avian cellulitis in broiler chickens, especially on the thighs and abdominal wall, has been observed more frequently in recent years. In the present study, over a one-year period 98 broiler carcasses with cellulitis were diagnosed at slaughterhouse. The lesions were charact...

BACKGROUND Cellulitis (erysipelas) is a recurring and debilitating bacterial infection of the skin and underlying tissue. We assessed the cost-effectiveness of prophylactic antibiotic treatment to prevent the recurrence of cellulitis using low dose penicillin V in patients following a first episode (6 months prophylaxis) and more recurrent cellulitis (12 months prophylaxis, or 6 months in those...

Acute sinusitis (ARS) and chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS) is a common condition worldwide.CRS is due to the infection and inflammation of paranasal sinuses. Frequent clinical manifestations of ARS include persistent symptoms with nasal discharge or cough or both, presentation with fever accompanies purulent nasal discharge, and worsening symptoms. Complications of CRS have five stages, preseptal ce...

The red eye is one of the most common presentations to health care centres. red-eye can be divided into painless and painful. includes bacterial, viral, allergic conjunctivitis, dry eyes, episcleritis subconjunctival haemorrhage. Meanwhile, painful more challenging, as some involve ophthalmic emergencies which are acute angle-closure attack, anterior uveitis, scleritis, orbital cellulitis, seve...

BACKGROUND Bacterial skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) in travelers often follow insect bites and can present a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from impetigo to necrotizing cellulitis. Significant SSTIs can also follow marine injuries and exposures in travelers, and the etiologies are often marine bacteria. METHODS To meet the objectives of describing the pathogen-spec...

We report the first documented isolation of Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica from a human in the United States. Initially misidentified as Acinetobacter lwoffii by Vitek-2, the isolate was subsequently identified as W. chitiniclastica by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. While the clinical significance of th...

Ivan Bristow is Lecturer, School of Health Sciences, University of Southampton; Manfred Mak is Podiatrist, Singapore General Hospital, Singapore When discussing tissue viability in the lower limb, much attention is focused on the role of bacterial infection. However, fungal skin infection is a more frequent and more recurrent pathogen which often goes undetected by the practitioner and patient ...

The authors describe an unusual case of chemical sinusitis and orbital cellulitis secondary to a sodium hypochlorite accident in patient who had just undergone root canal treatment. presented with acute, progressive symptoms unilateral maxillary sinusitis, facial which began hours after treatment on the ipsilateral side. He was admitted hospital under care Otorhinolaryngology team reviewed regu...

A 58-year-old male with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis cirrhosis presents with right lower extremity cellulitis, abdominal tenderness, and severe sepsis after sustaining puncture injury from a cactus on a property with feral cats. Blood cultures and diagnostic paracentesis were consistent with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis due to Pasteurella multocida, a gram-negative coccobacillus found in t...

Bacterial contamination of the operative site is a common occurrence in obstetrics and gynecology. The widespread use of antibiotic prophylaxis has reduced but not eliminated serious postoperative infections. For most operations, a single dose of a limited-spectrum drug has been as effective as a multidose regimen. In the differential diagnosis it is important to consider cellulitis, abscess, n...
