Presentation
In addition, mortality is substantial among bacteremic patients with respiratory conditions or other chronic debilities, especially when respiratory copathogens are present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Poor Growth
They did not find strains with poor growth when agar was incubated in ambient air. Luman et al. (27) studied 231 isolates grown on Mueller-Hinton agar, using CLSI disk contents. [jcm.asm.org]
- Hodgkin Lymphoma
She was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (stage 1A) in 2007 and received treatment with Rituximab and complementary radiotherapy with a favorable response. [hindawi.com]
Workup
Diagnostic workup as per BTS guidelines helped in finding the etiologies which lead to change in the patient management. [cureus.com]
Microbiology
- Mycobacterium Fortuitum
She was diagnosed with tuberculosis when she was a child, and in 2009, Mycobacterium fortuitum was isolated in a sputum culture for which she received treatment with Isoniazid, Rifampin, and Pyrazinamide. [hindawi.com]
Treatment
Bacteremia due to this organism therefore requires prompt treatment, as serious organ complications, including endocarditis, can occur. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The ESR was 2 mm/1st h and CRP was 20.5 mg/l after the end of treatment. [ard.bmj.com]
Treatments for Moraxella Catarrhalis: In this section, we will know about some of the treatment for Moraxella Catarrhalis. [epainassist.com]
Prognosis
The prognosis is good for febrile neutropenic patients with underlying leukemia or lymphoma when the neutropenia resolves. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis among the immunocompromised, those with underlying lung disease, those in hospital, the elderly and the very young is variable but tends to be worse. [patient.info]
What Is the Prognosis for Moraxella Catarrhalis? Despite aggressive moraxella catarrhalis treatment, some people may experience complications. [enkiverywell.com]
Etiology
Multibacterial etiology was seen in 34 (38%) samples, and M. catarrhalis was detected in most (85%) of those cases. Fifteen signals for M. catarrhalis were strong, suggesting a highly probable etiological role of the pathogen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
To our knowledge, Moraxella species have been reported as the etiologic agent in three cases [jamanetwork.com]
Epidemiology
The remaining 12 epidemiologically significant strains were of varied zymotypes. [cambridge.org]

Pathophysiology
The case presented suggests the pathophysiology of this rare condition. One previous case of septic arthritis caused by M. catarrhalis without documented bacteremia has been reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology and Etiology Studies have shown that M catarrhalis colonizes the upper respiratory tract in 28-100% of humans in the first year of life. In adults, the colonization rate is 1-10.4%. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention
A vaccine to prevent M. catarrhalis infections would have an enormous impact globally in preventing morbidity caused by M. catarrhalis in these populations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In order to have a rational approach to developing a vaccine to prevent infections due to M. catarrhalis, it is important to know what constitutes a protective immune response. [grantome.com]
Bacterial lysate medicines for respiratory conditions to be used only for prevention of recurrent infections On 27 June 2019, EMA recommended that bacterial lysate medicines authorised for respiratory conditions should only be used for the prevention [ema.europa.eu]
