this study was performed from february to april 2006; several visits were made to abattoirs in the north of iran for hypoderma spp infestation. necropsy inspection of slaughtered and skinned animals were carried out by examination of the inner skin surface and subcutaneous tissues. warbles were isolated by squeezing nodules from subcutaneous tissues. in the case of abscess presence, aseptic sam...

BACKGROUND While uncommon, iliopsoas abscesses can become the underlying cause of a fever of unknown origin. Even in such cases, it is considered rare for an iliopsoas abscess to extend into the subcutaneous space. CASE REPORT A 74-year-old woman with a history of schizophrenia was referred to our hospital with a high-grade fever. The patient was unaware of her febrile status prior to admission...

a 2-year-old, female, crossbred pet rabbit was found to have a subcutaneous axillary abscess from which staphylococcus lentus was the sole isolate. the s. lentus - an indigenous bacterium in rabbit saliva - probably was introduced into the axillary region during licking of a small wound. due to severe neutropenia, the rabbit had developed a serious infection within a few weeks. marked clinical ...

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a clinical form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) presumed to have an autoimmune etiology. The coexistence of UC and aseptic subcutaneous abscess has been extremely rare and almost all are adult case reports or small series and very few pediatric cases have been reported. We describe a 15-year-old girl with UC complicated with concomitant aseptic subcutaneous absces...

Secondary infection of the skin to hydatidosis of the liver is very rare. In this report a man is presented with two cutaneous abscesses in right lower part of his chest wall. Further examination disclosed a hydatid cyst 91,111 mm in diameter in the lower part of the right lobe of the liver connecting with the cutaneous abscesses. This case is reported because of its unusual form of presentation.

Subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis is a disease caused by dematiaceous fungi that develops mainly in immunocompromised patients. Lesions are generally located on the lower limbs. The present report describes a case of phaeohyphomycosis in an immunocompetent patient in whom a subcutaneous abscess was located in an unusual site, on the left hemiscrotum. The abscess was treated successfully with oral ...

Streptococcus intermedius is known to cause periodontitis and pyogenic infections in the brain and liver. Here we report the complete genome sequence of strain TYG1620 (genome size, 2,006,877 bp; GC content, 37.6%; 2,020 predicted open reading frames [ORFs]) isolated from a brain abscess in an infant. Comparative analysis of S. intermedius genome sequences suggested that TYG1620 carries a notab...
