Presentation
As for the occurrence of the genes, 100% of the isolates presented the lasR, rhlI and rhlR genes, and 97.5%, presented the lasI gene. In this study nine isolates were not biofilm producers. However, all presented the QS genes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Fever
Outcome of pseudomonas enteric fever is unpredictable as multiple systemic lethal complications occur abruptly. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Chills
Bloodstream infections can cause various symptoms, including: Fever and chills Body aches Light-headedness Rapid pulse and breathing Nausea and vomiting Diarrhea Decreased urination Pneumonia can cause: Fever and chills Difficulty breathing Cough, sometimes [everydayhealth.com]
Symptoms include: chills fever cough with or without sputum production difficulty breathing Skin When this bacterium infects the skin, it most often affects the hair follicles. This is called folliculitis. [healthline.com]
In the blood: Joint pain and stiffness, fever, chills, and fatigue. Other possible symptoms: A headache, diarrhea, or urinary tract infection. [medicalnewstoday.com]

High Fever
A 66-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and a recent history of intermittent urethral self-catheterization was admitted due to a high fever. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A serious infection can cause symptoms of high fever, chills, confusion, and shock. How is an infection treated? Antibiotics are the main treatment. Usually two different kinds are used. [healthlinkbc.ca]

Acutely Ill Patient
Since the severity of structural lung disease is difficult to assess in acutely ill patients, comparisons with other series are difficult. A critical issue consists in the criteria for an etiological diagnosis of GNB. [jamanetwork.com]

Saddle Nose
We present a case of a 65-year-old Caucasian man with a history of rheumatoid arthritis, off immunosuppression for 18 months, who presented with 2 years of chronic headaches, severe fatigue, saddle nose deformity and 20-kilogram unintentional weight loss [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Elbow Pain
Children with elbow pain and/or swelling with fever should be carefully examined for septic arthritis. Pseudomonas aeruginosa should always be kept in mind in such cases to avoid any delay in effective treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Intracranial Hemorrhage
Intrauterine infections are associated with life-threatening neonatal conditions such as sepsis, intracranial hemorrhage, and chronic lung disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
In further workup, this child was diagnosed as a case of X-linked agammaglobulinaemia. The child was treated successfully with antipseudomonal antibiotics for 6 weeks and intravenous immunoglobulin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] procedures that may be helpful in specific scenarios include the following: Fluorescein staining and slit-lamp examination of the cornea for keratitis Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage or bronchial brushing Thoracocentesis See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]
Extensive diagnostic workup for an infectious focus was performed with no results. Finally, an oscillating mass on the aortic valve was detected by TEE five weeks after the initial positive blood cultures. [bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com]

Treatment
A patient with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infection is described, and treatment options are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an unusual pathogen in community-acquired pneumonia, especially in previously healthy adults, but often indicates poor prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Compared to pneumonia caused by other pathogens, P. aeruginosa CAP exhibits rapid progression, high severity and poor prognosis. [bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com]
Isolates from patients with cystic fibrosis have a characteristic mucoid colonial morphology and result in a worse prognosis than nonmucoid Pseudomonas. [medicinalgenomics.com]
Etiology
There have been rare case reports in previously healthy children and rarer are the cases with double etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A critical issue consists in the criteria for an etiological diagnosis of GNB. [jamanetwork.com]
