CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of an 18-month-old Sudanese girl who presented at the age of 3 months with swelling of her left forearm following Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination administered at birth. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Sputum

  After 160 days, he developed blood-streaked sputum and computed tomography images revealed that the perianeurysmal fluid area was increasing in size. A multiplex polymerase chain reaction using sputum identified M. bovis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Agalactia

  In a report of the intra-species diversity of Streptococcus agalactiae [ 17 ], the "pan-genome" concept was defined as the sum of the core genome (comprising genes present in all analyzed strains) and the "accessory" genome (comprising all strain-specific [doi.org]

• Dysarthria

  An 89-year-old Caucasian man with a history of relapsing high-grade bladder carcinoma treated with intravesical BCG presented with recurring episodes of right upper limb paresthesia with clumsiness and dysarthria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Clumsiness

  An 89-year-old Caucasian man with a history of relapsing high-grade bladder carcinoma treated with intravesical BCG presented with recurring episodes of right upper limb paresthesia with clumsiness and dysarthria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hematuria

  A 47-year-old man presented to the urology department with visible hematuria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Urethral Discharge

  Four weekly cycles of BCG were administered uneventfully; however, before the fifth instillation, the patient complained of urethral discharge, bilateral conjunctivitis, and low back pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Testicular Disease

  The difficulties in diagnosing this condition based on imaging alone, given the extensive overlap with the appearance of bacterial epididymo-orchitis, malignant testicular disease and testicular torsion, are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] report, of a 77-year-old man with a history of intravesical BCG therapy and recent cardiac surgery, highlights the need for patients with similar features on history, presenting with generalised symptoms, to have mycobacterial cultures included in their workup [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  diphtheriae (Kruse 1886) Lehmann & Neumann, 1896 Species Bacillus dipsosauri Lawson et al., 1996 accepted as Gracilibacillus dipsosauri (Lawson et al. 1996) Wainø et al., 1999 Species Bacillus dysenteriae Shiga, 1898 accepted as Shigella dysenteriae [irmng.org]

• Polyps

  The author herein reports a rare case of a tuberculosis-associated endobronchial inflammatory polyp that was AFB smear- and culture-negative and the patient's clinical course after treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Liver Biopsy

  Bone marrow and liver biopsies showed non-caseating granulomas and were negative for acid-fast bacillus (AFB) and fungal stains. Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex PCR of the bone marrow was negative. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There were significant differences between BCG and other treatments or no additional treatment for recurrence (P 0.034), progression (P 0.004) and cancer-specific survival (P 0.014). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

IPTW-adjusted multivariate analysis revealed that BCG therapy did not worsen the prognosis of these patients. The limitations of our study were its retrospective design and small sample size. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Candida species are responsible for one-third of these infections and carry a worse prognosis [ 1 – 3 ]. [ann-clinmicrob.biomedcentral.com]

[…] cramps and diarrhea; both forms are usually mild and self-limiting (24 hrs); immunocompromised individuals are susceptible to bacteremia, endocarditis, meningitis, pneumonia; also associated with posttraumatic endophthalmitis (ocular infection - rare) EPIDEMIOLOGY [msdsonline.com]

Epidemiology Individuals at risk for anthrax include those in contact with infected animals or animal products. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology- No seasonal variance. Bacillus spp. are found in most natural environments. Because they form spores, they can tolerate extremes of temperature, humidity, etc. They also form a small part of normal human flora. [infectiousdiseaseadvisor.com]

Many questions about the epidemiology, biology and impact of this cluster of anthrax causing B. cereus still remain open. [doi.org]

Delay in diagnosis of this disease process will lead to delays in initiation of antimycobacterium treatment to prevent dissemination into other arterial beds and potentially complicate effective surgical treatment leading to aneurysmal rupture and other [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Time and temperature control following heat treatment is of prime importance to prevent extensive Bacillus cereus growth and/or formation of emetic toxin. [cfs.gov.hk]

Some people use Bacillus coagulans to prevent respiratory infections and ramp up the immune system. It is also used to prevent cancer or the formation of cancer -causing agents. [webmd.com]
