Introduction: Broviac catheter is a type of central venous catheter (CVC) used for long-term parenteral nutrition in specific patients, e.g., diagnosed with intestinal failure as short bowel syndrome (SBS). The way of the catheter insertion is conceived to minimalize the risk of infections. However, CVC-related blood stream infections (CVC-BSIs), including infective endocarditis (IE), remain most important complications associated with Broviac catheter. Staphylococcus epidermidis stands out as a prevalent pathogen. The increasing number of CVCs results in an increased incidence of healthcare-associated IE. Complete parenteral treatment is an independent risk that increases the likelihood of IE. Treatment of IE is mainly based on antibiotic therapy, but in certain cases, surgical treatment is needed. Presentation of Case: A 71-year-old female with SBS who had been receiving total parenteral nutrition through the Broviac catheter for several months was admitted in a serious condition with significant weakness, increasing shortness of breath, deteriorating cough, fever, low blood pressure, and heart palpitations. Echocardiography revealed severe aortic valve IE with a large, longitudinal, highly mobile vegetation (up to 40 mm) and massive aortic regurgitation with pulmonary edema. Fast pathogen detection in the patients' blood (S. epidermidis) was obtained using PCR-based multiplex test. Due to life-threatening conditions, emergency surgery with aortic valve replacement was performed. Consistent rehabilitation resulted in good condition achievement. Follow-up echocardiography showed normal function of the aortic valve bioprosthesis. Conclusion: The use of CVC, including Broviac catheter, is associated with an increased risk of infections, including IE. Treatment-resistant severe HF complicating IE requires emergency surgery.

导言:Broviac 导管是一种中心静脉导管 (CVC),用于特定患者的长期肠外营养,如被诊断为肠功能衰竭的短肠综合征 (SBS)。导管插入的方式旨在将感染风险降至最低。然而,与 CVC 相关的血流感染(CVC-BSI),包括感染性心内膜炎(IE),仍然是与 Broviac 导管相关的最重要并发症。表皮葡萄球菌是最常见的病原体。CVC 数量的增加导致医疗相关 IE 的发病率上升。完全肠外治疗是增加 IE 发生几率的一个独立风险。IE 的治疗主要以抗生素治疗为主,但在某些情况下需要手术治疗。病例介绍:一名患有 SBS 的 71 岁女性患者,数月来一直通过 Broviac 导管接受全肠外营养,入院时病情严重,出现明显虚弱、气短加剧、咳嗽恶化、发热、低血压和心悸等症状。超声心动图显示,患者患有严重的主动脉瓣 IE,伴有巨大、纵向、高度移动的植被(长达 40 毫米)和大量主动脉瓣反流,并伴有肺水肿。通过基于 PCR 的多重检测,在患者血液中快速检测出病原体(表皮葡萄球菌)。由于病情危及生命,患者接受了主动脉瓣置换的紧急手术。经过坚持不懈的康复治疗,患者病情好转。随访超声心动图显示主动脉瓣生物假体功能正常。结论使用 CVC(包括 Broviac 导管)会增加感染(包括 IE)的风险。治疗耐药的严重心房颤动并发 IE 需要进行急诊手术。

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum. It progresses in phases and undiagnosed disease can cause considerable morbidity. Tertiary syphilis causes the formation of gummas. Liver involvement is rarely described and usually limited to transaminase elevation during primary syphilis. We present a case of tertiary syphilis in an HIV patient. Microbiological, clinical, and radiological information were retrieved from the patient's record. Gummatous syphilis is rarely described in the literature, and practicing physicians should be aware of its existence and include this manifestation in the differential diagnosis of patients with a positive serology and focal liver lesions.

梅毒是由苍白螺旋体引起的性传播感染。梅毒会分期发展,未确诊的梅毒可导致相当高的发病率。三期梅毒会导致牙龈瘤的形成。肝脏受累的情况很少见,通常仅限于原发性梅毒时转氨酶升高。我们报告了一例艾滋病患者的三期梅毒病例。我们从患者的病历中获取了微生物学、临床和放射学信息。文献中很少描述胶样梅毒,执业医生应该意识到它的存在,并将这种表现纳入血清学阳性和局灶性肝脏病变患者的鉴别诊断中。

Ureaplasma parvum is one of the most common endemic mycoplasmas in the genitourinary tract and can cause amniotic fluid infection leading to preterm labor. We report a rare case of Ureaplasma parvum infection ascending from the vagina to the abdominal cavity after hysterectomy, causing vaginal cuff infection, postoperative peritonitis, and small bowel obstruction. A 29-year-old nulliparous woman presented with infected uterine cervical cancer. After radical hysterectomy for uterine cervical cancer, the patient had paralytic ileus with ascites and fever. Peritonitis was suspected; however, all cultures were negative, making it difficult to identify the causative organism. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the ascites revealed Ureaplasma parvum, which could be treated with levofloxacin (LVFX). Open drainage to control the infection revealed a necrotic tissue around vaginal cuff and the small intestine encased in cocoon-like fibers like sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis. After the infection was improved, the bowel obstruction was also improved. Ureaplasma spp. can be difficult to culture. PCR testing for Ureaplasma infection should be considered when urogenital infection is suspected in patients prone to opportunistic infections, such as those with malignant tumors.

解脲支原体是泌尿生殖道最常见的地方性支原体之一,可引起羊水感染,导致早产。我们报告了一例罕见的子宫切除术后副脲原体感染从阴道上升至腹腔,导致阴道袖带感染、术后腹膜炎和小肠梗阻的病例。一名 29 岁的无子宫妇女因感染子宫颈癌而就诊。子宫颈癌根治性切除术后,患者出现麻痹性回肠炎、腹水和发烧。怀疑是腹膜炎,但所有培养结果均为阴性,因此难以确定致病菌。腹水中的聚合酶链反应(PCR)发现了副脲原体,可以用左氧氟沙星(LVFX)治疗。为控制感染而进行的开放引流显示,阴道袖带周围有坏死组织,小肠被蚕茧状纤维包裹,如同硬化性包裹性腹膜炎。感染好转后,肠梗阻也有所改善。解脲支原体很难培养。当怀疑容易发生机会性感染的患者(如恶性肿瘤患者)出现泌尿生殖系统感染时,应考虑进行尿解支原体感染的 PCR 检测。

Four cases of serious congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections are described in this report. All cases were diagnosed postnatally using cerebrospinal fluid (3/4) or blood PCR (1/4) and histochemical study of the placenta (4/4). All infants were born prematurely. Maternal factors identified as significant were younger age at pregnancy and those from low-income social strata. The major clinical findings among patients with congenital CMV infection were hydrocephalus and persistent thrombocytopenia. The children's clinical condition did not improve over the course of the disease, leading to complications associated with extreme prematurity. Two of the children died, one of whom had severe brain malformations and showed neurological compromise at follow-up, seizures, motor impairment, and severe cognitive delay. It is essential to perform antenatal screening for possible CMV infection among pregnant women, even in countries with high population seropositivity, such as Mexico, to establish prenatal interventions to reduce the risk of fetal damage.

本报告描述了四例严重的先天性巨细胞病毒(CMV)感染病例。所有病例均在产后通过脑脊液(3/4)或血液 PCR(1/4)和胎盘组织化学检查(4/4)确诊。所有婴儿均为早产儿。孕产妇的重要因素是怀孕年龄较小和来自低收入社会阶层。先天性巨细胞病毒感染患者的主要临床表现为脑积水和持续性血小板减少。患儿的临床状况在病程中没有改善,导致了与极度早产有关的并发症。其中两名患儿死亡,一名患儿有严重的脑畸形,随访时出现神经系统损害、癫痫发作、运动障碍和严重的认知发育迟缓。即使在墨西哥等血清阳性率较高的国家,也必须对孕妇进行可能感染巨细胞病毒的产前筛查,以制定产前干预措施,降低胎儿受损的风险。

Cryptococcosis, an infection caused by Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii, predominantly targets the central nervous system (CNS) in patients with AIDS but is not limited to this group. The disease can also occur in individuals with various immunosuppressive conditions, frequently involving the brain or lungs. Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is the most common form of fungal meningoencephalitis, leading to intracerebral infections, cerebral infarction, or hydrocephalus. The clinical presentation of CM is nonspecific, and imaging features can vary significantly. This case report presents a patient with cerebral infarction, who was HIV-negative but had been on long-term cortisone therapy. Notably, the patient had a history of pulmonary cryptococcosis 15 years prior to cerebral involvement. When initially at our clinic, histology and culture results from brain biopsies were negative and the earlier pulmonary cryptococcosis history was unknown. Subsequently, cryptococcal antigen was detected in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and C. neoformans was cultivated from CSF. This case highlights the critical importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for CM, particularly in patients with a history of previous cryptococcal infections, and it also demonstrates the possibility of false-negative brain biopsy results due to secondary vascular events associated with CM.

隐球菌病是一种由新型隐球菌和加特隐球菌引起的感染,主要侵犯艾滋病患者的中枢神经系统(CNS),但并不局限于艾滋病患者。这种疾病也可发生在患有各种免疫抑制疾病的人身上,经常累及大脑或肺部。隐球菌脑膜炎(CM)是最常见的真菌性脑膜脑炎,可导致脑内感染、脑梗塞或脑积水。脑膜炎的临床表现无特异性,影像学特征也会有很大差异。本病例报告的患者为一名脑梗死患者,HIV 阴性,但长期接受可的松治疗。值得注意的是,该患者在脑部受累前15年曾有肺隐球菌病史。最初到我们诊所就诊时,脑活检的组织学和培养结果均为阴性,而且之前的肺隐球菌病史也不清楚。随后,在血清和脑脊液(CSF)中检测到了隐球菌抗原,并从脑脊液中培养出了新变形隐球菌。该病例强调了对脑瘤保持高度怀疑的重要性,尤其是对既往有隐球菌感染史的患者,同时也证明了因脑瘤继发血管事件而导致脑活检结果假阴性的可能性。

Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a rare cause of serious infections with a high mortality of 10% to 30%. It is usually found in the oral cavity of cats and dogs and can cause severe sepsis in immunocompromised patients. An 81-year-old female Caucasian patient presented with C. canimorsus sepsis after a dog bite in her finger three days before presentation to our emergency department. She initially was presented to us with sepsis, thrombopenia, and schistocytes in her laboratory findings, suggesting the differential diagnoses of the multiple subtypes of thrombotic microangiopathy. She was admitted to the medical intensive care unit of the University Hospital of Saarland because of septic shock with circulatory insufficiency. The patient received plasmapheresis, antibiotics, and dialysis, under which she improved significantly. The fingertip of the affected finger developed necrosis and had to be amputated. Furthermore, the patient was diagnosed with a mitral valve endocarditis, a very rare complication of C. canimorsus infection. It was treated conservatively with antibiotics and was no longer detectable 8 weeks after the diagnosis. Surgical intervention was not needed. The case describes well that it is still difficult to distinguish between thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC), especially in the early phases of acute disease, especially in C. canimorsus-induced sepsis.

Capnocytophaga canimorsus 是一种罕见的严重感染病菌,死亡率高达 10%至 30%。它通常出现在猫和狗的口腔中,可导致免疫力低下的患者出现严重败血症。一名 81 岁的白种女性患者在被狗咬伤手指后出现卡尼莫氏菌败血症,三天后才到我们急诊科就诊。她最初因败血症、血栓性血小板减少症和血吸虫实验室检查结果而就诊,这提示了血栓性微血管病多种亚型的鉴别诊断。由于脓毒性休克伴有循环功能不全,她被送入萨尔州大学医院内科重症监护室。患者接受了血浆置换术、抗生素和透析治疗,病情明显好转。患指的指尖出现坏死,不得不截肢。此外,患者还被诊断出患有二尖瓣心内膜炎,这是一种非常罕见的卡尼莫氏菌感染并发症。患者接受了抗生素保守治疗,在确诊 8 周后已无法检测到该并发症。无需进行手术治疗。该病例充分说明,血栓性血小板减少性紫癜(TTP)、弥散性血管内凝血(DIC)和败血症诱发的凝血病(SIC)之间仍然很难区分,尤其是在急性疾病的早期阶段,特别是在卡尼莫氏菌诱发的败血症中。

Cat scratch disease (CSD) typically presents as a self-limiting lymphadenopathy associated with a cat bite or scratch and commonly affects children and young adults. Atypical manifestations, involving the eyes, nervous system, heart, liver, spleen, skin, and musculoskeletal system, could be severe and difficult to diagnose, and they could occur in 5%-20% of the cases. Herein, we report an unusual case of CSD with multifocal osteomyelitis. A 15-year-old girl presented with right axillary lymphadenopathy. Since she had a history of cat scratch, azithromycin was started for CSD. Two days later, she was readmitted to our hospital with severe back pain which required differential diagnosis. Lumbar spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed multifocal vertebral osteomyelitis. The patient was hospitalized, and then teicoplanin and cefotaxime were added to the azithromycin therapy. After excluding the possible other causes, the definitive diagnosis of osteomyelitis secondary to CSD was made upon the combination of the MRI scan findings of the vertebrae, histopathological investigation of excisional right axillary biopsy, positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), and Bartonella henselae serologies. Atypical manifestations of CSD are widely variable; therefore, it should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of severe musculoskeletal pain and osteomyelitis.

猫抓病(CSD)通常表现为与猫咬伤或抓伤相关的自限性淋巴结病,常见于儿童和青壮年。非典型表现可累及眼睛、神经系统、心脏、肝脏、脾脏、皮肤和肌肉骨骼系统,病情严重且难以诊断,约占病例总数的5%-20%。在此,我们报告了一例不同寻常的 CSD 合并多灶性骨髓炎病例。一名 15 岁女孩因右腋窝淋巴结肿大就诊。由于她有猫抓病病史,医生开始使用阿奇霉素治疗 CSD。两天后,她因剧烈背痛再次入院,需要进行鉴别诊断。腰椎磁共振成像(MRI)显示她患有多灶性脊椎骨髓炎。患者住院后,在阿奇霉素治疗的基础上加用替考拉宁和头孢他啶。在排除了其他可能的病因后,结合椎体的核磁共振扫描结果、右腋窝切除活检的组织病理学检查、正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)和鸡巴氏杆菌血清学检查,最终确诊为继发于 CSD 的骨髓炎。CSD 的非典型表现千变万化;因此,在鉴别诊断严重肌肉骨骼疼痛和骨髓炎时应牢记这一点。

AZD7442 (150 mg of tixagevimab plus 150 mg of cilgavimab) has been approved for the preexposure prophylaxis of COVID-19 and for the treatment of adults and adolescents with COVID-19 who do not require supplemental oxygen and who are at increased risk of severe COVID-19. Thus, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the neutralizing capacity of tixagevimab and cilgavimab across different SARS-CoV-2 variants in two patients who received AZD7442 for immunoprophylaxis. A cohort of subjects (n = 45) who had received the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine has been included to compare these two preventive strategies. Neutralizing antibody (NAb) titers against several variants were assessed against the wild-type, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, omicron BA.5, and XBB.1.5 variants. Binding antibodies have also been measured. NAbs T 1/2 for AZD7442 was 8.1 days (95% CI: 5.1-19.5 days) and was 11.8 days (95% CI: 7.9-23.7 days) for the primo-vaccination cohort. The time to reach neutralization negativity was 108.3 days (95% CI: 66.9-130.7) for AZD7442 compared to 95.4 days (95% CI: 31.0-119.7 days) for the primo-vaccination cohort. The time to reach NAbs' negativity differs between variants with the maximum value obtained for alpha (i.e., 101.1 days (95% CI: 30.0-135.4 days)) and the minimum obtained for beta (i.e., 61.2 days (95% CI: 37.8-77.1 days)). Our results reinforce the need of reviewing the use of AZD7442 in relation to variants of concern and potentially adapting its administration schedule. AZD7442 could be indicated for short-term prophylaxis in frail patients who may be acutely exposed to SARS-CoV-2.

AZD7442 (150 毫克 tixagevimab 加 150 毫克 cilgavimab)已被批准用于 COVID-19 的暴露前预防,以及治疗不需要补充氧气但 COVID-19 严重风险增加的成人和青少年患者。因此,本研究旨在评估 tixagevimab 和 cilgavimab 在接受 AZD7442 免疫预防的两名患者中不同 SARS-CoV-2 变体的中和能力。为了比较这两种预防策略,还纳入了一组接受过 BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 疫苗的受试者(n = 45)。针对几种变体的中和抗体(NAb)滴度进行了评估,包括野生型、α、β、γ、δ、Omicron BA.5和XBB.1.5变体。还测定了结合抗体。AZD7442 的 NAbs T 1/2 为 8.1 天(95% CI:5.1-19.5 天),初次接种队列的 NAbs T 1/2 为 11.8 天(95% CI:7.9-23.7 天)。AZD7442达到中和阴性的时间为108.3天(95% CI:66.9-130.7天),而初次接种队列为95.4天(95% CI:31.0-119.7天)。不同变异株达到 NAbs 阴性的时间不同,α 变异株的时间最长(101.1 天(95% CI:30.0-135.4 天)),β 变异株的时间最短(61.2 天(95% CI:37.8-77.1 天))。我们的研究结果进一步说明,有必要审查 AZD7442 的使用是否与所关注的变异体有关,并有可能调整其给药时间表。AZD7442可用于可能急性感染SARS-CoV-2的体弱患者的短期预防。

The occurrence of sporadic rickettsial infections has been consistently undervalued and overlooked, primarily owing to a limited emphasis on routine examinations for rickettsioses in clinical practice. At present, the immunofluorescence assay is the prevailing diagnostic method for suspected rickettsioses that enables the detection of specific antibodies against rickettsia in human serum. Herein, we present an exceptional instance of rickettsial infection that was characterized by a rare manifestation of extensive pericardial effusion leading to dyspnea and cardiac tamponade. A diagnosis of chronic fibrosing pericarditis was established based on pericardium tissue obtained through pericardiotomy, and a conclusive metagenomic next-generation sequencing test confirmed the presence of Rickettsia felis infection. The cat flea, scientifically known as Ctenocephalides felis, is the predominant carrier of R. felis. An escalating incidence of human R. felis infections has raised concerns, particularly in light of the burgeoning population of domesticated animals in many contemporary societies.

散发性立克次体感染一直被低估和忽视,主要原因是临床实践中对立克次体病常规检查的重视程度有限。目前,免疫荧光检测法是诊断疑似立克次体病的主要方法,它能在人体血清中检测出针对立克次体的特异性抗体。在此,我们介绍一例罕见的立克次体感染病例,其特点是广泛的心包积液导致呼吸困难和心脏填塞。根据心包切开术获得的心包组织,确定了慢性纤维性心包炎的诊断,并通过元基因组下一代测序试验确诊存在猫蚤立克次体感染。猫蚤,学名栉头蚤,是猫立克次体的主要携带者。人类感染猫立克次体的发病率不断攀升,这引起了人们的关注,尤其是考虑到当代许多社会中驯养动物的数量急剧增加。

This case report highlights the unusual presentation and management of nonrheumatic myocarditis in a 24-year-old male, an age demographic not commonly associated with myocardial complications following Group A streptococcal pharyngitis. The patient, devoid of any prior medical history, manifested symptoms one day after being diagnosed with Group A streptococcal pharyngitis, a stark contrast to the typical progression of myocardial complications. The swift onset of symptoms and the patient's subsequent clinical presentation necessitated a comprehensive diagnostic approach. The patient's symptoms were successfully alleviated with amoxicillin and anti-inflammatory therapy, underscoring its potential efficacy in managing nonrheumatic myocarditis. This case serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of maintaining a broad differential diagnosis, especially in atypical presentations, and the pivotal role of timely clinical intervention. The insights from this report contribute to the broader understanding of nonrheumatic myocarditis, emphasizing the significance of tailored diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to ensure optimal patient outcomes.

本病例报告重点介绍了一名 24 岁男性非风湿性心肌炎的不寻常表现和治疗方法,该年龄段的患者在甲型链球菌咽炎后出现心肌并发症的情况并不常见。该患者既往无任何病史,在被确诊为 A 组链球菌咽炎一天后就出现了症状,这与典型的心肌并发症进展形成了鲜明对比。由于患者发病迅速,随后的临床表现也很明显,因此有必要采取综合诊断方法。阿莫西林和抗炎治疗成功地缓解了患者的症状,凸显了阿莫西林在治疗非风湿性心肌炎方面的潜在疗效。本病例有力地提醒人们,保持广泛的鉴别诊断非常重要,尤其是在非典型病例中,以及时临床干预的关键作用。本报告的见解有助于人们更广泛地了解非风湿性心肌炎,强调了量身定制的诊断和治疗策略对于确保患者获得最佳治疗效果的重要性。
