Abstract

Splenic abscess consists a very rare pathology. There were less than 300 cases described in the literature in the last 10 years. We report a case of 68 year old women with the splenic abscess with a history of blunt trauma of the left side chest wall two years earlier. The diagnosis was confirmed by USG and CT. The patient underwent splenectomy. The post operative course was uneventful.

Subcutaneous abscess formation around catheters induced by viable and nonviable Staphylococcus epidermidis as well as by small amounts of bacterial cell wall components.

The use of catheters is often complicated by infection, mainly due to Staphylococcus epidermidis. Recently, a novel poly(vinylpyrrolidone)-grafted silicone elastomer catheter (SEpvp) was introduced. Less bacteria adhered to SEpvp than to conventional SE catheters in vitro. The frequency of S. epidermidis infection associated with SEpvp and SE was assessed in a rabbit model. Unexpectedly, abscesses were induced by the injection of low numbers of S. epidermidis along subcutaneously inserted SEpvp. No abscesses were seen around SE, even when very high numbers of S. epidermidis were injected. This bioincompatibility reaction observed around the SEpvp was independent of the host, bacterial strain, and method of inoculation. Abscesses were also induced by nonviable S. epidermidis and by bacterial cell wall components. Because these incompatibility reactions were not observed in the absence of bacteria, biocompatibility testing should include experiments in which the inflammatory effects of the combination of catheter and (non)viable bacteria are tested.

Bacteriological warfare amongst cats: what have we learned about cat bite infections?

Cat bite infections are one of the most common infectious diseases presenting to veterinary practices and to emergency rooms at human hospitals. This review describes the disease in humans and cats, the origin of organisms involved in cat bite abscesses and the importance of selected organisms such as members of the genus Porphyromonas in the disease. It also discusses future directions, the importance of identifying significant organisms and why an understanding of antimicrobial susceptibility patterns is of consequence to the outcome of the disease in humans and cats.
