Abstract

Background: The infectious diseases (ID) consultation service is a new clinical entity in Japan. We examined the impact of ID consultation on the diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE) at a large teaching hospital in Japan. Methods: Routine consultation with an ID service for cases of positive blood culture was implemented at Kameda Medical Center in November 2004. In addition, ID service doctors started to give lectures on ID to doctors and also provided local guidelines on ID. We compared the incidence of IE during a 3-y and 10-month period before intervention with that during a 5-y and 2-month period after intervention. The modified Duke criteria were used to confirm the diagnosis of definite IE. Patients who fulfilled the criteria for definite IE were included in the analysis. Results: Twenty-seven cases of IE were diagnosed before the implementation of routine consultation, and 76 cases after. The respective incidences of IE were 48.7 and 84.8 per 100,000 patients discharged from the hospital ( p == 0.01). The relapse rate of IE within 6 months was significantly lower in patients who underwent routine consultation (22.2% vs 2.2%; p == 0.02). Conclusion: Routine consultation with an ID service for cases of positive blood culture, together with consecutive lecturing and local guidelines by ID specialists, resulted in improved detection of IE and a reduced relapse rate within 6 months. Timely consultation with an ID specialist in bacteraemia cases may be beneficial for improving the outcomes of patients in this setting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

26. Non-serogroupable Neisseria meningitidis pneumonia in an immunocompetent patient with severe COVID-19 pneumonia: A case report.

Abstract

Background: Non-serogroupable Neisseria meningitidis ( N. meningitidis ) , the most common type of N. meningitidis in asymptomatic carriers, rarely causes infections. Most reported cases of infection are in patients with immunodeficiency, primarily complement deficiencies., Case Presentation: A 54-year-old immunocompetent man was transferred to our hospital to treat severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The patient presented with cough producing a large amount of purulent sputum, which was considered an atypical presentation of COVID-19. Gram staining of the sputum revealed a large number of gram-negative diplococci phagocytosed by many neutrophils, and a diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia was established. The culture yielded non-serogroupable N. meningitidis, and the patient was diagnosed with non-serogroupable N. meningitidis pneumonia. Potential immunodeficiency was considered; however, testing including human immunodeficiency virus and complement factors showed no abnormalities., Conclusions: We report herein a rare case of non-serogroupable N. meningitidis pneumonia that occurred in an immunocompetent patient during the course of severe COVID-19. We consider impaired T cell function attributable to COVID-19 and dexamethasone administration may have triggered a transient immunosuppressive state and led to non-serogroupable N. meningitidis pneumonia., Competing Interests: None declared., (© 2022 The Authors.)

Abstract

We herein report the case of 41-year-old homosexual man who presented to our hospital with typical acute retroviral syndrome. Complications of bilateral facial nerve palsy and appendicitis appeared eight days after admission. The bilateral facial nerve palsy spontaneously recovered one month later; however, the appendicitis required surgical intervention. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of appendicitis related to acute retroviral syndrome.
