Abstract

Cryptococcal meningitis usually occurs among HIV-positive patients with CD4 counts less than 100 cells/[mm.sup.3] and manifests as headaches, fevers, and mental status changes. We present an unusual case of cryptococcal meningitis in a 34-year-old HIV-positive man presenting as a large abdominal cyst at the ventriculoperitoneal shunt site despite receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for more than 5 years and having a CD4 count more than 400 cells/[mm.sup.3].

Abstract

Erectile dysfunction (ED) and hypogonadism are increasingly recognized conditions, however, the prevalence and etiologies of these conditions among HIV-infected men remain unclear. We studied 300 HIV-infected men who completed standardized questionnaires regarding sexual function and hypogonadal symptoms. An early morning testosterone test was performed; patients with a low serum testosterone level (defined by

Abstract

Manual CD4 tests as Dynal T4 Quant are less expensive alternatives to flow cytometry in resource-limited countries. Whereas blood preservatives have proven useful for stabilizing blood samples to allow delayed CD4 testing by flow cytometry, they are not verified for manual for manual tests.

Abstract

Between Nov 1 and Dec 20, 2002, 163 Marines, including 160 recruits, were admitted to the Naval Medical Center San Diego for possible pneumonia; 128 cases were confirmed by chest radiograph. All pneumonia cases had the following investigations: sputum, blood, and throat cultures; Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM and IgG; Chlamydia pneumoniae IgM and IgG; rhinoprobe DFA for respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, influenzae, and parainfluenzae; urine Legionella antigen test; urine Streptococcus pneumoniae antigen test; and an antistreptolysin O (ASO) titer. A definite case of Group A streptococcus (GAS) pneumonia was defined as a blood or pleural fluid culture positive for GAS. A probable case of GAS pneumonia was defined as a positive throat or sputum culture for GAS or an ASO titer of 250 Todd units or greater in the absence of another identified etiologic agent. A definite case of M. pneumoniae was defined as IgG seroconversion and a probable case as a positive IgM. A confirmed case of C. pneumoniae was defined as a 4-fold rise in IgG or an IgM titer of 16 or greater and a possible case as an IgG titer >=512. All cases were male with ages ranging from 18 to 33 years. One hundred thirty-two cases (81%) were white/non-Hispanic, 26 (16%) were white/Hispanic, three (2%) were Asian/Pacific Islander, and two (1%) were other. All cases were previously healthy and HIV-seronegative. Of the 128 cases of pneumonia, 66 (52%) had multilobar involvement, and 29 (23%) had a pleural effusion, including five (4%) with an empyema. Thirty-one (22%) of the pneumonia cases were caused by GASwith 6 cases of definite GAS and 25 cases of probable GAS. Forty-seven pneumonia cases were caused by other organisms, including 6 definite and 15 possible cases of C. pneumoniae, 3 definite and 16 probable cases of M. pneumoniae, 5 cases of adenovirus, and 2 cases of S. pneumoniae. Seventy-eight of 128 (61%) of pneumonia cases had a definite or probable diagnosis., Published in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, v52 n6, p106-109, 14 Feb 2003.

Abstract

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is now a common isolate of community-acquired staphylococcal infections. We present the first case of concomitant mycotic pseudoaneurysm and purulent pericarditis caused by methicillin-resistant S. aureus. The isolate was found to be SCCmec type I, sequence type 8, and to carry the PVL gene. The patient was successfully treated with a combined surgical and medical approach.
