Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in human patients remain a controversial and perplexing condition with emerging zoonotic aspects. Recent advances in human medicine seem to indicate a bacterial etiology and the condition has already been described in horses, dogs, cats and birds of prey in association
Chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS) is a recognized human illness with zoonotic implications that is rarely described in animals. Eight birds of prey examined between 1992 and 1995 and sharing common symptoms (asthenia, inability to fly, poor appetite and emaciation) underwent
Chryseobacterium indologenes is a non-fermentative Gram-negative bacillus that is a rare pathogen in humans. Its occurrence in diabetic children has not been previously reported. In this report, a case is described of C. indologenes bacteraemia possibly associated with the use of a peripheral venous
We present the case of an 89-year-old man with a 1 month history of fevers and fatigue. Blood cultures were positive for Clostridium perfringens. The patient had worsening abdominal distension in which an abdominal computed tomography scan uncovered a colonic mass, and further work-up revealed
BACKGROUND
Ecthyma gangrenosum is a cutaneous manifestation of Pseudomonas infections. This condition may be associated with bacteraemia but can also occur in the absence of bacteraemia.
METHODS
The authors report the case of a 66-year-old woman presented with necrotic ulcerations on the face
A 19-year-old young man was admitted to our hospital complaining of fever and general fatigue. There were infiltrative shadows and pleural effusions in the both lung fields. Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection was diagnosed because of the elevation of mycoplasma antibody titers in the serum and pleural
BACKGROUND
Bartonella henselae is a zoonotic, alpha Proteobacterium, historically associated with cat scratch disease (CSD), but more recently associated with persistent bacteremia, fever of unknown origin, arthritic and neurological disorders, and bacillary angiomatosis, and peliosis hepatis in
Campylobacter fetus (C. fetus) bacteremia is rarely reported. In this article, a 51-year-old Chinese woman with severe hepatitis B virus infection complicated with alcoholic liver cirrhosis was admitted with a 3-month history of fatigue, jaundice, and edema of lower extremity, as well as presenting
BACKGROUND
Tropheryma whipplei not only causes Whipple disease but also is an emerging pathogen associated with gastroenteritis and pneumonia that is commonly detected in stool samples in rural West Africa. We investigated the role of T. whipplei in febrile patients from rural Senegal who had a
The close relationship between atopic dermatitis (AD) and infective endocarditis (IE) has been implicated. Staphylococcus aureus colonization is frequently seen observed in AD patients' skin lesions. Although a case of IE due to S. aureus bacteremia in an AD patient has been sporadically reported, a
BACKGROUND
Primary sternal osteomyelitis is a rare disease, whereas secondary sternal osteomyelitis is relatively well known as a complication in post-sternotomy patients.
OBJECTIVE
Describe a case of primary Staphylococcus aureus sternal osteomyelitis in an immunocompetent man and its diagnostic
Bacteremia and/or toxic shock syndrome is a rare complication of streptococcal pharyngitis in adults. We describe a case of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome in a previously healthy young man who presented with fatigue, high fever, and suspected extensive streptococcal tonsillo-pharyngitis. Therapy
Bacteremia and/or toxic shock syndrome are rare complications of streptococcal pharyngitis in adults. This report describes a previously healthy young man with streptococcal toxic shock syndrome who presented with fatigue, high fever, and suspected extensive streptococcal tonsillopharyngitis.
Capnocytophaga canimorsus is part of normal gingival flora of dogs and cats. The organism can cause septicemia, meningitis, and endocarditis in humans after contact with dogs or cats. In spite of the frequency of gastrointestinal symptoms in C. canimorsus infection patients, specific
Mycoplasma sp. are well recognized as etiological agents of respiratory and sexually transmitted disease. Mycoplasma penetrans, a species of Mycoplasma sp., has been frequently detected in HIV-positive patients and associated with the progression of HIV-associated disease. To date,
