Presentation
Present study showed that the ace genes do not seem to be necessary nor sufficient for the production of biofilm in Enterococcus faecalis but the presence of asa1, efaA, esp, and ebpR correlates with increased biofilm formation of dental root canal isolates [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Entire Body System
-
Hodgkin Lymphoma
We report a rare case of Enterococcus faecalis meningitis in an 11-year-old child with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Weight Loss
We describe a 75-year-old male patient who developed a general syndrome, with a fever of 39 degrees C, weight loss, and cervical pain, during the month following a urological procedure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Intravenous Drugs
This report describes the treatment of a 35-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with an empyema, and who had a long hospital course complicated by a catheter-related bloodstream infection and a history of intravenous drug use. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiovascular
-
Systolic Murmur
In the intensive care unit, the patient became febrile and developed a new 2/6 systolic murmur. Blood cultures grew E. faecalis, and the patient was given antibiotics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Eyes
-
Corneal Opacity
After 3 rounds of intravitreal antibiotics injection, the vitreous opacity disappeared on ultrasonographic finding but corneal opacity and corneal neovascularization still remained. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Skin
-
Flushing
The root canal contents were sampled by flushing and the collected washings were plated on an appropriate culture medium, which was incubated for 48 h at 35 C 2.0. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Ecthyma
Ecthyma gangrenosum is a cutaneous infection, most commonly occurring during sepsis evolution with Pseudomonas aeruginosa on an immunocompromised background. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Urogenital
-
Cesarean Section
Although the pathogenesis of this case remains unclear, it could be due to bacteremia arising from the administration of prophylactic broad-spectrum antibiotics used for cesarean section. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
X-Ray
-
Atelectasis
Computed tomography (CT) of the chest revealed a large unilateral pleural effusion, compressive atelectasis, and no evidence of consolidation. Culture of the pleural fluid grew Enterococcus faecalis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Pericardial Effusion
Echocardiography 3 weeks later showed persistent resolution of the pericardial effusion. This case shows that prompt diagnosis and drainage of the pericardial effusion are vital to achieve a positive outcome in purulent pericarditis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Serum
-
Hyponatremia
The patients, who presented with fever and delirious behavior, exhibited hyponatremia and markedly elevated interleukin (IL)-6 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum. Enterococcus faecalis was detected in the urine culture. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
QT, RR, ST Intervals
-
ST Elevation
During a cervical laminectomy, the patient had a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction that was treated conservatively. In the intensive care unit, the patient became febrile and developed a new 2/6 systolic murmur. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Parasympathomimetics, immunosuppression and plasmapheresis have considerably improved management and prognosis of myasthenia gravis. Side effects of these measures, however, may complicate the course of the disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Reasons for not performing colonoscopy were poor clinical status or prognosis irrespective of colonic disease or refusal of the patients or relatives. [revespcardiol.org]

Etiology
There have been rare case reports in previously healthy children and rarer are the cases with double etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
These secondary diseases are mainly caused by etiological pathogens from endodontic origin, especially Enterococcus feacalis and Candida albicans. [eurekaselect.com]

Pathophysiology
Elevated CSF IL-6 levels suggest that remote activation of intracerebral immune response through the immune-neuroendocrine pathway might play an important role in the pathophysiology of MERS. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
