• Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy

  A chest x-ray, six weeks after discharge, demonstrated multiple, bilateral 'cannon ball'-like opacities and mediastinal lymphadenopathy which were highly suspicious of disseminated malignancy or tuberculosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Lymphadenopathy

  A chest x-ray, six weeks after discharge, demonstrated multiple, bilateral 'cannon ball'-like opacities and mediastinal lymphadenopathy which were highly suspicious of disseminated malignancy or tuberculosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Congestive Heart Failure

  A patient with a history of type II diabetes mellitus (DM), end stage renal disease (ESRD), and congestive heart failure (CHF) developed necrotizing fasciitis caused by Serratia marcescens after scraping his leg on rocks in a river while fishing. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Developmental Delay

  The authors report their experience treating a polymicrobial ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt infection in a developmentally delayed 21-year-old woman. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cultures grew Serratia marcescens and Proteus mirabilis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Leg Swelling

  On physical examination, he had a swollen erythematous left third finger, left distal leg swelling, and right big toe abscess. None of these areas was significantly tender. WBC was 18.7 x 10(3)/mm(3) with 37% PMN and 5% bands. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Lower Abdominal Pain

  She subsequently manifested lower abdominal pain, and spontaneous abortion occurred. After the abortion, she became completely afebrile. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Tachycardia

  Thirteen days after the diagnosis of PPROM (28 weeks and four days) she developed chills, abdominal pain, sub febrile fever, tachycardia, leukocytosis and fetal tachycardia, and a clinical diagnosis of chorioamnionitis was made. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Dermatitis

  Prior predisposing factors for infections were noted in 12 patients, including pre-existing leg ulcers or dermatitis (5/13), preceding cancer surgeries (2/13), plastic surgeries and filler injection (2/13), traumas (2/13) and medical procedures following [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Prolapse

  Despite aggressive treatment the eye continued to deteriorate with corneal perforation and prolapse of the intraocular contents. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Arthralgia

  We report a case of a 46-year-old man with fever, hypotension and arthralgias of the ankles and knees after brain surgery for a pituitary tumour causing Cushing's disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Low Back Pain

  We herein report the case of a 54-year-old woman who presented with progressive low back pain and fever with a root sign. She underwent surgical decompression, with an immediate improvement of the low back pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Vaginal Discharge

  Pulsed field gel electrophoresis showed that isolates from the blood, urine, and vaginal discharge were genetically identical. Intravenous pyelography revealed that she had a bilateral completed double ureter. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Headache

  Previously healthy individual, admitted to Orthopaedic Department for routine arthroscopy, approximately within 24 hours after operation was performed complained of headache and fever. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Churg-Strauss syndrome, multiple myeloma, or combined variable immune deficiency) Symptoms at time of initial positive Serratia marcescens included: nasal discharge (55%), nasal congestion/obstruction (34%), headache/facial pressure (34%), decreased sense [alliedacademies.org]

[…] fasciitis of the lower extremity; both organisms had identical antibiograms. 15 The portal of entry in another case was an infected intravenous catheter with bacteremia leading to the development of cellulitis at a distant site. 7 Despite an extensive workup [journals.lww.com]

• Multiple Ulcerations

  A 73-year-old man presented with multiple ulcers and painful nodules on the lower right leg as well as abscesses on the right malleolus lateralis. He had been treated with oral penicillin without success. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The RZ-21 treatment significantly increased peanut yield, vine dry weight, root nodules and taproot length by 62.3, 33, 72 and 61.4% respectively, followed by the M treatment. The P treatment also increased root nodules and root length slightly. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

BACKGROUND: It is known that infections with Serratia marcescens can take a progressive course in preterm infants and that meningoencephalitis with this pathogen exhibits an extremely bad neurologic prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Based on these and several other reports of S. marcescens outbreaks, meningitis alone can be recognized as an indicator of poor prognosis. [scielo.br]

DISCUSSION The prognosis for vision in metastatic endophthalmitis is guarded.3 In cases with involvement of the posterior segment where the vitreal inflammatory reaction prevents fundus visualization, the outcome is generally very poor.6,7 Regardless [healio.com]

Abstract We report a case of postsurgical wound infection of polymicrobial etiology caused by Serratia marcescens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa following the use of a radial forearm free flap for oncological tongue reconstruction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Conclusion We propose renaming white pox disease acroporid serratiosis, as this new terminology more accurately reflects the etiology of the disease. [doi.org]
