Abstract

Resumen Lactococcus garvieae es una causa inusual de bacteriemia. No existen guías diagnósticas y terapéuticas actuales disponibles para tratar las infecciones causadas por estos organismos. Con base en un informe de caso, proporcionamos una revisión de la literatura sobre bacteriemia causada por L. garvieae y destacamos los desafíos de diagnóstico y tratamiento de estas infecciones y las implicaciones para el manejo. Comunicamos el primer caso de bacteriemia por Lactococcus garvieae en Colombia. Abstract Lactococcus garvieae is an unusual cause of bloodstreams infections.

Abstract

Resumen Las micosis rino-cerebral, rino-orbito-cerebral y sinusopulmonar ocasionadas por especies de Mucorales y de Aspergillus se constituyen como una causa importante de infección fúngica invasora asociada a una mortalidad mayor al 30%. La coinfección por dos o más especies en la forma rino-orbito-cerebral es infrecuente. Se describe un paciente con linfoma no Hodgkin, expuesto a múltiples esquemas quimioterápicos, en remisión completa, que presentó micosis con compromiso rino-orbito-cerebral por Aspergillus sclerotiorum y Rhizopus microsporum de rápida progresión con necesidad de tratamiento quirúrgico agresivo y terapia antifúngica sistémica y local. Abstract Rhino-orbital-cerebral and pulmonary mycosis caused by Mucorales and Aspergillus species have become an important cause of invasive fungal infection, with a 30% overall mortality rate. Rhino-orbital-cerebral disease caused by two or more species is uncommon. We present a patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, exposed to aggressive chemotherapy, under complete remission, with acute onset of rhino-orbital-cerebral disease caused by Aspergillus sclerotiorum and Rhizopus microsporum, treated with aggressive surgery and both local and systemic antifungal therapy.

Abstract

Acute transverse myelitis is defined as an acquired neuroimmune disorder of the spinal cord, which occurs as a consequence of a primary event, or directly related to an autoimmune inflammatory disease, an infectious or post-infectious disease. Amongst infectious etiologies, Borrelia spp., a tick-bourne anthropozoonosis of the ixodidae family, prevails. Approximately 10 to 15% of patients with Lyme disease undergo neurologic manifestations, with an assorted and uncertain array of clinical syndromes. Transverse myelitis accounts for up to 5% of Lyme neuroborreliosis. We describe the case of a traveler from endemic zone for Lyme disease, with encephalomyelitis secondary to acute infection by Borrelia burgderfori, with complete resolution of symptoms after concluding adequate antibiotic treatment.
