Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Health consequences of sexually transmitted diseases disproportionately affect women, making it important to determine whether newly emerged pathogens cause sequelae. Although the pathogenic role of Mycoplasma genitalium in male urethritis is clear, fewer studies have been conducted among women to determine its[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gram-Negative Septicaemia
Septic shock (also known as gram-negative sepsis or endotoxic shock) is fast becoming a major health care problem among hospitalized patients.[www2.hawaii.edu]

Acute Pyelonephritis
Subcapsular renal hematoma (SRH) is an extremely rare complication of acute pyelonephritis (APN). We report a case of SRH complicating APN with a ureteral stone, together with a review of the literature.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Ureterolithiasis
OBJECTIVE: The tissue rim sign-a rim or halo of soft-tissue attenuation seen around the circumference of an intraureteral calculus on unenhanced axial CT-has been described as useful in differentiating ureteral calculi from extraurinary abdominal or pelvic calcifications. The purpose of this study was to determine[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pneumococcal Pneumonia
BACKGROUND: The serotype-specific effectiveness of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) against pneumococcal pneumonia has not been established in people aged 65 years or older. We assessed the effectiveness of PPV23 in this population. METHODS: For this multicentre, prospective study, we[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Acute Peritonitis

Complications: Systemic complications: Bacterimic or endotoxic shock SIRS MODS Abdominal Complications: Paralytic ileus Residual/recurrent abscess/ Inflammatory[slideshare.net]
Gram-Negative Pneumonia
BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of ventilator associated pneumonia can be made by quantitative cultures of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid or of protected specimen brushings, though cultures require 24-48 hours to provide results. In 80% of cases aerobic Gram negative bacteria are the cause. METHODS: A rapid diagnostic[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Ascending Cholangitis
Abstract An intussusception-type antireflux valve was created in the Roux-en-Y loop in 23 infants with biliary atresia (17 new cases, and six others after episodes of ascending cholangitis) and 10 patients with congenital bile duct dilatation, in order to prevent ascending cholangitis after hepatic portojejunostomy.[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abdominal Visceral Abscess
Abstract This review describes the microbiology, diagnosis, and management of intra-abdominal abscesses (including subphrenic, hepatic, splenic, and retroperitoneal abscesses) in children. They often occur as a complication of local or generalized peritonitis, commonly secondary to appendicitis, necrotizing enterocolitis,[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
