Vibrio cholerae is a motile, gram-negative bacterium typically found in brackish, coastal waters and most often associated with gastroenteritis. This case details a rare presentation of non-O1/O139 V. cholerae cystitis in an immunocompetent 27-year-old male with no urogenital tract abnormalities following exposure to geothermal hot springs in California. We present the diagnostic considerations and challenges in clinical management for this case, and the relevance of climate change for understanding epidemiology and exposure risk relevant to clinical practice.

Measles, a highly infectious virus, previously eliminated from the Americas in 2000, has returned causing large outbreaks in the USA and Canada, largely in communities with low vaccination rates. Pregnant women, unvaccinated young children and the immunocompromised have the highest risk for severe complications, that include pneumonia, encephalitis and infrequently, death. As there is no treatment, management for the more frequent complications of dehydration and pneumonia require significant acute-care resources with airborne containment during the infectious phase. The current measles vaccine is safe and the only means available to maintain high levels of herd immunity to prevent transmission, until the goal of global elimination of measles is finally achieved.
麻疹是一种传染性很强的病毒,曾于2000年在美洲被消灭,现已卷土重来,在美国和加拿大造成大规模疫情,主要发生在疫苗接种率低的社区。孕妇、未接种疫苗的幼儿和免疫功能低下者患严重并发症的风险最高,包括肺炎、脑炎和罕见的死亡。由于没有治疗方法,对更常见的脱水和肺炎并发症的管理需要大量的急性护理资源,并在感染阶段进行空气传播控制。目前的麻疹疫苗是安全的,也是在最终实现全球消除麻疹的目标之前,维持高水平群体免疫力以防止传播的唯一可用手段。

Trueperella pyogenes is a well-known pathogen that causes opportunistic infections in farm animals, especially cattle and pigs. However, human infections are extremely rare and typically linked to occupational exposure. In this report, we present a case of sepsis due to T. pyogenes in an immunocompromised patient. A 75-year-old male patient, with a background of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and a history of livestock farming, was admitted with headache, nasal congestion, dyspnea, and hypotension. He was hypoxic, pancytopenic, and severely hyponatremic, with elevated inflammatory markers. A biopsy from a maxillary sinus mass revealed nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma. Two sets of blood cultures (each consisting of two aerobic and one anaerobic bottle) were collected from separate venipuncture sites 24 h apart. A growth signal was detected on day two, and T. pyogenes was isolated from all bottles across both sets. Beta-hemolytic colonies grew on sheep blood agar; Gram staining revealed pleomorphic Gram-positive rods. The isolate was catalase and oxidase negative and identified as T. pyogenes via VITEK-MS. Susceptibility testing showed resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and susceptibility to penicillin, tetracycline, clindamycin, rifampin, linezolid, and vancomycin. Empirical treatment with meropenem, vancomycin, and levofloxacin was initiated; dexamethasone was added due to suspected lymphoma infiltration. By the fifth day, respiratory symptoms and fever had resolved, and inflammatory markers normalized. The patient was discharged with oral methylprednisolone for lymphoma and levofloxacin for antimicrobial therapy. This case highlights the importance of recognizing T. pyogenes as a rare but significant human pathogen, especially in immunocompromised individuals with animal exposure, and underlines the need for advanced identification methods in clinical microbiology.
化脓性true eperella pypygenes是一种众所周知的病原体,可引起农场动物,特别是牛和猪的机会性感染。然而,人类感染极为罕见,通常与职业接触有关。在这个报告中,我们提出一个病例脓毒症由于化脓性链球菌在免疫功能低下的病人。75岁男性患者,慢性阻塞性肺疾病背景,有畜牧史,因头痛、鼻塞、呼吸困难和低血压入院。他缺氧,全细胞减少,严重低钠血症,炎症标志物升高。上颌窦肿块活检显示鼻型NK/ t细胞淋巴瘤。从不同的静脉穿刺部位收集两组血培养物(每组由两个好氧瓶和一个厌氧瓶组成),间隔24小时。在第2天检测到生长信号,并从两组的所有瓶子中分离出化脓性乳杆菌。溶血菌落在羊血琼脂上生长;革兰氏染色示多形性革兰氏阳性杆状细胞。过氧化氢酶和氧化酶均阴性,经VITEK-MS鉴定为化脓性链球菌。药敏试验显示对甲氧苄啶-磺胺甲恶唑耐药,对青霉素、四环素、克林霉素、利福平、利奈唑胺和万古霉素敏感。开始使用美罗培南、万古霉素、左氧氟沙星进行经验性治疗;因怀疑淋巴瘤浸润加用地塞米松。到第5天,呼吸道症状和发热消退,炎症指标恢复正常。患者出院时口服甲基强的松龙治疗淋巴瘤,左氧氟沙星治疗抗菌。该病例强调了认识化脓性肠杆菌作为一种罕见但重要的人类病原体的重要性,特别是在与动物接触的免疫功能低下个体中,并强调了临床微生物学中先进鉴定方法的必要性。

Objective

Intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) represents an atypical clinical manifestation of tuberculosis, constituting a significant proportion of extrapulmonary cases. This study, combining a case report and a narrative literature review, aims to deepen the understanding of ITB and its clinical characteristics.

Case presentation

We present a clinical case of a young patient with concomitant pulmonary tuberculosis and chronic gastrointestinal symptoms. Imaging studies revealed intestinal wall thickening in the ileum and cecum, findings corroborated by colonoscopy, which showed multiple ulcers and an inflammatory response on biopsy, albeit without direct identification of the bacillus. The patient responded favorably to standard anti-tuberculosis treatment.

Discussion

Our findings, coupled with the literature review, suggest that ITB can present with nonspecific clinical features, hindering early diagnosis. Coexistence with pulmonary tuberculosis is common, and complications such as intestinal obstruction may necessitate surgical intervention.

Conclusion

Intestinal tuberculosis poses a diagnostic challenge due to the variability of its clinical manifestations and the lack of specific diagnostic tests. A high index of clinical suspicion, particularly in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis or risk factors, is crucial for early diagnosis, appropriate management, and consequently enhance the prognosis of the disease.
目的肠结核(ITB)是结核的一种非典型临床表现,在肺外病例中占很大比例。本研究采用病例报告与叙述性文献回顾相结合的方法,旨在加深对脑出血及其临床特点的认识。我们报告一个年轻的肺结核合并慢性胃肠道症状的临床病例。影像学检查显示回肠和盲肠的肠壁增厚,结肠镜检查证实了这一发现,活检显示多发溃疡和炎症反应,尽管没有直接发现芽孢杆菌。患者对标准抗结核治疗反应良好。我们的研究结果,结合文献回顾,提示ITB可呈现非特异性临床特征,阻碍早期诊断。与肺结核共存是常见的,肠梗阻等并发症可能需要手术干预。结论肠结核的临床表现多变性和缺乏特异性诊断方法,给诊断带来了挑战。临床怀疑指数高,特别是在有肺结核或危险因素的患者中,对早期诊断、适当管理,从而提高疾病的预后至关重要。

Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile produces glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) in large amounts, which is frequently used to screen C. difficile infection (CDI). Generally, the sensitivity of GDH–enzyme immunoassay (GDH–EIA) is significantly higher than that of the toxin EIA. In this report, we describe an extremely rare case of discrepancy in EIA with GDH-negative and toxin-positive results. Nucleic acid amplification revealed toxin B gene, binary toxin gene, and tcdC deletion. Additionally, the growth of C. difficile was monitored by culture method, which showed positive result for GDH. These findings indicate that laboratory diagnosis of CDI is challenging. Therefore, the results should be carefully interpreted considering the patient’s clinical course.
艰难梭菌(clostridiides difficile)大量产生谷氨酸脱氢酶(GDH),该酶常用于艰难梭菌感染(CDI)的筛选。一般来说,gdh -酶免疫分析法(GDH-EIA)的敏感性明显高于毒素免疫分析法。在本报告中,我们描述了一个极其罕见的EIA与gdh阴性和毒素阳性结果差异的病例。核酸扩增显示毒素B基因、二毒基因和tcdC缺失。另外,用培养法监测艰难梭菌的生长情况,结果显示GDH阳性。这些发现表明CDI的实验室诊断具有挑战性。因此,结果应仔细解释考虑到患者的临床过程。

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant health, social, and economic challenges, with an estimated 65 million people affected by long-term complications collectively referred to as long COVID-19. Symptoms include psychiatric, neurological, cardiovascular, immune, and metabolic disorders, including chronic fatigue syndrome and autoimmune conditions. Risk factors include female sex, lack of vaccination, pre-existing comorbidities, and smoking. A longer duration or increased severity of symptoms is associated with reduced quality of life, physical performance, and the ability to work or attend school. Diagnostic and therapeutic innovations are being adopted, including digital medicine and artificial intelligence. Recovery from long COVID varies widely among individuals, and probiotics have been proposed as effective remedies for fatigue, memory loss, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Further research and data are needed to fully understand the complexity and multi-organ nature of the disease.
COVID-19大流行造成了重大的健康、社会和经济挑战,估计有6500万人受到长期并发症的影响,统称为长期COVID-19。症状包括精神、神经、心血管、免疫和代谢紊乱,包括慢性疲劳综合征和自身免疫性疾病。危险因素包括女性、缺乏疫苗接种、已有的合并症和吸烟。症状持续时间越长或严重程度越高,生活质量、身体表现以及工作或上学能力都会下降。诊断和治疗方面的创新正在被采用,包括数字医学和人工智能。从长期COVID中恢复的情况因人而异,益生菌被认为是治疗疲劳、记忆丧失和胃肠道症状的有效药物。需要进一步的研究和数据来充分了解这种疾病的复杂性和多器官性质。

Mortality from Salmonella Typhi fever is very high among South-Asian countries including Pakistan. With the emergence of the extensively drug-resistant Salmonella Typhi strain, mortality has increased among all age groups. Salmonella Typhi usually presents with abdominal symptoms and complications; however, literature has reported its extreme rare clinical presentation with neurological symptoms. We report a case of a young male whose initial presentation was altered mentation and seizures and later diagnosed as having extremely drug-resistant Salmonella Typhi encephalopathy.
伤寒沙门氏菌的死亡率在包括巴基斯坦在内的南亚国家非常高。随着广泛耐药伤寒沙门氏菌菌株的出现,所有年龄组的死亡率都有所增加。伤寒沙门氏菌通常表现为腹部症状和并发症;然而,文献报道其极其罕见的临床表现为神经症状。我们报告一个年轻男性的情况下,其最初的表现是改变的精神状态和癫痫发作,后来被诊断为具有极端耐药伤寒沙门氏菌脑病。

Comamonas kerstersii is a non-fermentative Gram-negative bacterium recently described, and its role in serious human infections has been recognized since 2013. In this article, we report the case of a 53-year-old male admitted to the emergency room for acute abdominal pain in the right iliac fossa. Laboratory tests revealed an inflammatory syndrome with CRP at 399.02 mg/L and Procalcitonin at 5.21 ng/mL. An urgent abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan was realized, revealing appendiceal peritonitis. The patient underwent an appendectomy and fluid aspiration. The microbiological analysis of the peritoneal fluid led to the identification of Comamonas kerstersii by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The recent discovery of C. kerstersii and the limits of classical phenotypic methods in its detection are probably leading to an underestimated prevalence. More recently, acquired resistance in this bacterium has been reported, requiring systematic susceptibility testing and the rapid adaptation of therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes.
克氏单胞菌(Comamonas kerstersii)是最近发现的一种非发酵性革兰氏阴性菌,自2013年以来,它在严重人类感染中的作用已被认识到。在这篇文章中,我们报告了一例53岁男性因右髂窝急性腹痛而被送往急诊室的病例。实验室检查显示炎症综合征,CRP为399.02 mg/L,降钙素原为5.21 ng/mL。紧急腹部电脑断层扫描(CT)显示阑尾腹膜炎。病人接受了阑尾切除术和液体抽吸。腹膜液微生物学分析采用MALDI-TOF质谱法鉴定出克氏单胞菌。最近发现的C. kerstersii和经典表型方法在其检测中的局限性可能导致低估患病率。最近,有报道称这种细菌出现了获得性耐药,需要进行系统的药敏试验和快速调整治疗策略,以改善患者的预后。
