Symptoma

Streptococcus Viridans

We describe a 62-year-old male with adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon with the presentation of infective endocarditis due to infection by Streptococcus viridans, and we also report on the condition's successful treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This case highlights an unusual presentation of Streptococcus viridans osteomyelitis of the acetabulum in an otherwise healthy 13-year-old athletic male. [longdom.org]

  • Intermittent Fever

    Case Report A 4-year-old boy presented with intermittent fever and productive cough for 2 weeks. He was given medications to alleviate the symptoms; however, high fever and shortness of breath were noted 4 days later. [indianpediatrics.net]

  • Soft Tissue Swelling

    Left knee X-ray was suggestive of soft tissue swelling with left knee prosthesis in a satisfactory position without evidence of fracture (Figure 1). [cureus.com]

    A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the pelvis suggested marrow oedema of the left pubic bone extending all the way up to the left sacro-iliac joint and soft tissue swelling of the pubic symphysis, changes highly suggestive of osteomyelitis of [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

    Computed tomography (CT) is more sensitive than plain radiography and may be useful in detecting soft tissue swelling and abscess formation. [omicsonline.org]

  • Inguinal Hernia

    In children, it can mimic septic arthritis of the hip, an acute abdomen, and an inguinal hernia, making it a diagnostic challenge for many physicians. [longdom.org]

  • Difficulty Walking

    Patients usually present with hip or groin pain, difficulty walking, and sometimes fever. In children, it can mimic septic arthritis of the hip, an acute abdomen, and an inguinal hernia, making it a diagnostic challenge for many physicians. [longdom.org]

  • Acute Abdomen

    In children, it can mimic septic arthritis of the hip, an acute abdomen, and an inguinal hernia, making it a diagnostic challenge for many physicians. [longdom.org]

  • Ciliary Injection

    The 28-year-old man visited the authors' hospital due to ciliary injection and hypopyon over left eye. On examination, Behcet-mimicking symptoms were observed, such as genital and oral ulcers and arthritis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Dysuria

    Two weeks later fever, dysuria, diarrhea, sterile inflammatory arthritis of lower limbs, enthesitis, dactylitis, conjunctivitis, and uveitis consecutively developed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In the face of penicillin resistance, additional considerations for workup, including microbiological assays for antimicrobial synergism become necessary in the selection of a therapeutic regimen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Often, the workup for infectious cause returns fruitless and the patient’s clinical course may be the sole clue in making the diagnosis. Here, we present a rare case of hookah-induced Streptococcus viridanspneumonia. [aspergillus.org.uk]

The patient was then transferred to the Children’s Hospital for concern and workup of a septic joint. [omicsonline.org]

Because of the frequent association of abscess formation, a routine workup in Anginosus group bacteremia should include a search for abscess. In Vitro Susceptibility VGS are presumed to be uniformly susceptible to penicillin. [antimicrobe.org]

  • HLA-B27

    A 26-year-old male patient with mitral valve prolapse and HLA-B27 antigen received endodontic treatment for dental caries. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Complete resolution of ocular and systemic symptoms was achieved after 2 months of treatment. Streptococcus viridans is potential microorganisms of ReA. Careful survey and prompt treatment is necessary. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although advances in antibiotic therapy and surgical techniques have improved the prognosis of endocarditis, 1 the mortality rate in recent decades has held steady at 15% to 50%. 2-11 Improving this prognosis will require identifying patients at higher [revespcardiol.org]

Therefore, early diagnosis and initiation of adequate antibiotic therapy is important for improving the long-term prognosis of patients suffering from this rare disease. [ekjm.org]

Streptococcus viridans is also an important etiologic agent causing septicaemia in neutropenic patients with haematological diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The organisms are most abundant in the mouth, and one member of the group, S. mutans, is the etiologic agent of dental caries. This group of bacteria is often implicated in subacute endocarditis associated with dental procedures. [osmosis.org]

The title is unfortunate, since it implies that infections produced by the usual etiologic agent in cases of subacute bacterial endocarditis can be controlled by sulfapyridine. [jamanetwork.com]

A retrospective epidemiological study indicated that one phlebotomist, "P," collected a disproportionate number of the positive blood cultures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology The portal of entry for S bovis bacteremia is the gastrointestinal tract. The urinary tract, hepatobiliary tree and the oropharynx can also be sources of infection in some cases. [emedicine.medscape.com]

It may corroborate a pivotal role of the circulatory failure in the pathophysiology of S. pyogenes-PF. [ann-clinmicrob.biomedcentral.com]

Recent interest in the pathophysiology of this disorder has focused on the role of streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins (SPEs), extracellular products of group A streptococci that mediate not only scarlatiniform-like rashes but also multi-organ damage and [antimicrobe.org]

It is therefore recommended that the preferable antibiotic used for the prevention of BE should be determined by an antibiogram. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Therefore the diagnosis and prevention of these infections is critical in health care. Purpose: The aim of this in-vivo study was to determine the prevalence of viridans streptococci in abscesses occurring in the maxillofacial region. [jdt.tums.ac.ir]

It has been suggested that to prevent subsequent attacks all teeth, good or bad, be extracted, if a patient has ever had an attack of S.V.E. [thelancet.com]

Pretreatment with warfarin prevented vegetation formation, but animals still developed endocarditis at the same rate after injection of 10 6 S. viridans. [iai.asm.org]
