A rare encounter: Tuberculous pyomyositis in an immunosuppressed post-transplant patient.

Tuberculous pyomyositis is an uncommon form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB). We report a rare case of EPTB in a 34-year-old male post-renal transplant recipient. He presented with pain in the left hip region and fever 9 years after the renal transplantation.

Unmasking the Hidden Invader: A case report of chest wall tuberculosis presenting as an abscess.

Chest wall tuberculosis is a very rare clinical entity that accounts for 1-5% of musculoskeletal tuberculosis (TB). Here we present a case of chest wall TB. A 16-year-old boy presented with complaints of progressive increasing swelling over the right hemithorax following a history of trauma.

Antifungal Susceptibility Profile of Clinical and Environmental Isolates of Aspergillus Species From a Tertiary Care Center in North India.

Introduction: species are ubiquitously found in the environment worldwide and are important causative agents for infection. Drug resistance among species is emerging, hence the present study was undertaken to look for antifungal susceptibility profiles of clinical and environmental isolates of species.

Materials And Methods: During the period from January 2018 to June 2019, a total of 102 isolates (40 clinical, 40 hospital, and 22 community environment) were tested for antifungal susceptibility testing for determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)/minimum effective concentration (MEC) as per Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) M38-A3 method for itraconazole, voriconazole, amphotericin B, and caspofungin.

Neisseria mucosa: A not so Benign Culprit of urinary tract infection: A case report.

Neisseria mucosa is saprophytic human commensal but reported as a causative agent in a couple of urinary tract infections [UTI] in susceptible individuals. In the present case, a young girl with long standing neurological problems presented with bladder outlet obstruction and fever. Her urine culture yielded Neisseria mucosa which was susceptible to broad spectrum penicillins, aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, ciprofloxacin, and azithromycin.

A fatal case of necrotizing fasciitis.

Introduction: Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are associated with a fulminating course because of their rapid destruction of tissue planes underlying the skin. -associated monomicrobial NSTIs are usually associated with exposure to fresh water, particularly among agricultural workers and fish handlers. Albeit uncommon in incidence, urgent medical and surgical intervention are required once a diagnosis has been made.

Diptheroids can cause nosocomial UTI and be multidrug resistant: A case report of Corynebacterium striatum, first from India.

Gram positive bacilli in the urine are usually dismissed as contaminants in urine specimens as these are commensal flora of skin and mucous membranes. Corynebacterium species were misidentified in the past due to complex biochemicals but the advent of modern diagnostics has made their identification quicker and accurate. Corynebacterium species have recently emerged as pathogens of nosocomial outbreak potential.

Saksenaea vasiformis infection: Extensive abdominal wall necrotizing fasciitis with systematic review and analysis of 65 cases.

Introduction: Saksenaea vasiformis is a rarely reported Mucorales causing mucormycosis in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. Due to few reported cases, the clinical characteristics and optimal management strategy for this rare agent are not clearly described.

Methods: We systematically reviewed Medline, EmBase and CINHAL for studies on S.

Mycotic aneurysm by Bacteroides fragilis presenting as fever of unknown origin.

A mycotic aneurysm is an infection of the vessel wall which can be bacterial, fungal, or viral in origin. It is invariably a fatal infectious disease if appropriate treatment is not done. We describe the case of a forty-six years male who presented with complaints of high-grade fever and lower back pain with worsening symptoms with the passage of the illness.

Fatal Soft Tissue Polymicrobial Infections in Two Immunocompetent Cases: Case Report.

Background: Clostridium sporogenes is reported rarely in literature. Reports from the skin and soft tissue infections are even less, more so in immunocompetent patients.

Case Presentation: Two skin and soft tissue infections with C.

Species Distribution and Antifungal Susceptibility Profile of Dermatophytes from a Tertiary Care Centre in North India.

 Dermatophytoses, one of the most ancient diseases, is becoming a menace in recent times. This has made the knowledge of antifungal susceptibility a priority in today's times.  This is a prospective study conducted over 18 months including all dermatophytes isolated during the period.
