A case of endocarditis due to Fusobacterium nucleatum in an intravenous drug abuser is reported, accompanied by a review of the literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A 48-year-old man presented with fevers, chills, weight loss, multiple liver masses, and several superficial and deep venous thromboses in lower extremities. Cancer work up was negative. A liver biopsy grew Fusobacterium nucleatum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Multiple brain abscesses are serious neurological problems with high mortality and disabling morbidity. The frequency is rising as a result of AIDS and the increasing number of immunocompromised patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We describe a patient presenting with constitutional symptoms, poor oral hygiene and leg swelling who was diagnosed with Fusobacterium nucleatum osteomyelitis of femur and empyema. Long bone osteomyelitis is rarely caused by this microorganism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Multiple coexisting incidental infections were discovered, including oesophageal candidiasis, Helicobacter pylori, stool cultures positive for Strongyloides stercoralis, and sputum cultures positive for Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment of clinical cases, such as the outbreak at the Hospital Joan March, were treated case by case, based on the antibiogram obtained from each patient's sputum sample.[22] More broadly, prevention of initial infection, particularly in a hospital [en.wikipedia.org]

A pericardial effusion was diagnosed by echocardiography in a 49 year old man who suffered acute cough, orthopnea, and chest pain. Because of a positive tuberculin skin test, mycobacteria were initially suspected as the cause of the pericarditis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A pericardial effusion was diagnosed by echocardiography in a 49 year old man who suffered acute cough, orthopnea, and chest pain. Because of a positive tuberculin skin test, mycobacteria were initially suspected as the cause of the pericarditis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We report the first description of portal and mesenteric vein thrombosis associated with suppurative mesenteric adenitis in a 71-year-old woman. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A pericardial effusion was diagnosed by echocardiography in a 49 year old man who suffered acute cough, orthopnea, and chest pain. Because of a positive tuberculin skin test, mycobacteria were initially suspected as the cause of the pericarditis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

To our knowledge, F. nucleatum infection presenting with multiple liver masses and Trousseau-like syndrome has not been reported earlier. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We describe our experience in the management of this case of anaerobic meningitis and the unusual complication of ischemic stroke; this case suggests that more aggressive therapy in addition to empirical antibiotics may be warranted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A 59-year-old woman developed signs and symptoms of diffuse brain dysfunction including fever and neck stiffness. A brain CT scan demonstrated nine contrast-enhancing ring-shaped lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The pericardial effusion failed to resolve, however, and pericardiectomy was performed. Culture of the pericardial fluid yielded pure Fusobacterium nucleatum growth. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A liver biopsy grew Fusobacterium nucleatum. To our knowledge, F. nucleatum infection presenting with multiple liver masses and Trousseau-like syndrome has not been reported earlier. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
