1/29. Deep-seated trichosporonosis in an immunocompetent patient: a case report of uterine trichosporonosis.We report an unusual case of endometritis caused by Trichosporon beigelii in an elderly woman who had no clinically obvious immunosuppression nor even clinically obvious skin disease. No evidence of predisposing factors for deep trichosporonosis was identified in this patient, who apparently is of normal immune status.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/29. Postpartum herpes simplex endometritis. A case report.BACKGROUND: herpes simplex virus (HSV) can cause postpartum endometritis. The clinical diagnosis of HSV endometritis has been reported previously. The disease is responsive to acyclovir intravenously. CASE: A 22-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 1, status post primary cesarean section for a double footling breech presentation, developed a persistent postpartum fever. Simulating the febrile course of septic pelvic thrombophlebitis, the patient's condition was unresponsive to broad-spectrum antimicrobials and heparin therapy. Active herpetic lesions and a positive cervical culture for herpes simplex prompted the use of intravenous acyclovir. Rapid resolution of the fever and the similarity to previous case reports suggested the clinical diagnosis of herpes simplex endometritis. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of postpartum herpes simplex endometritis should be considered when managing a persistent postpartum fever unresponsive to aggressive antimicrobial and heparin therapy. Immediate resolution of the fever should occur with the use of acyclovir.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/29. Extramedullary hematopoiesis in the endometrium.Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) in the endometrium is an extremely rare occurrence. Four of the eight previously reported cases were related to an underlying hematological disorder, although the remainder had no such relationship. We describe a case of endometrial EMH associated with retained products of conception after termination of pregnancy. Routinely and immunohistochemically stained slides revealed several collections of normoblasts and granulocytic precursors in the endometrium with synchronous chronic endometritis. Retained chorionic villi were also identified. The patient had no known history of a hematological disorder or systemic disease and no such abnormality was detected after detailed hematological work-up. Local effects of growth factors on circulating stem cells may play a pathogenetic role in this process, although an association with recent pregnancy in this case suggests that implantation of fetal hematopoietic elements from the fetus or yolk sac may be more likely.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/29. Congenital tuberculosis associated with maternal asymptomatic endometrial tuberculosis.This is a report of a 4-month-old baby girl who presented with respiratory distress, bronchopneumonia, marasmus and hepatosplenomegaly and proved to have congenital tuberculosis on the basis of a strongly positive Mantoux test and liver biopsy findings. Endometrial biopsy in the asymptomatic mother confirmed the source of infection and the perinatal onset of illness. The age range of previously reported cases of congenital tuberculosis is 1-84 days and this case would appear to be the latest presentation of congenital tuberculosis in the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 12.219107949854keywords = tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/29. Acute fatty liver of pregnancy.Acute fatty liver of pregnancy can produce a great variety of complications. Of these, infections are important. We describe two cases, one of them complicated with uterine sepsis. Both gave evidence of the necessity for multidisciplinary treatment, which reduces the maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality produced by this disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/29. Group A streptococcus and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome: a postpartum case report.Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome from group A streptococcal disease is rare in the postpartum period, yet it is associated with high morbidity and mortality. early diagnosis and treatment can lessen complications. Midwives can improve provision of postpartum care by being adequately educated about signs and symptoms of this disease, thereby enhancing their ability to recognize it and obtain the appropriate referral or collaborative medical care. A clinical presentation of postpartum streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, including provider follow-up, is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |

8/29. Endometrial coccidiosis.This report describes a case of granulomatous endometritis caused by coccidiosis in an immunologically uncompromised 63 year old patient. The glandular epithelium of the endometrium contained numerous intracytoplasmic cysts, corresponding to periodic acid Schiff positive and methenamine silver negative sporoblasts. The endometrial glands revealed reactive phenomena, such as eosinophilic and squamous glandular metaplasia and intraluminal desquamation. Non-necrotising epithelioid granulomata, lacking the presence of parasites, were present in the stroma. Although not detected in the stool examination, the organisms were probably isospora belli. There was no evidence of other foci of the disease. coccidiosis should be differentiated from the more commonly occurring coccidiomycosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/29. Endometrial tuberculosis acquired by a health care worker in a clinical laboratory.I describe a case of endometrial tuberculosis acquired by a microbiologist while she was working in a clinical laboratory. Granulomatous endometritis was found, and mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated. Respiratory tract exposure from a faulty exhaust hood is the likely source of infection. Endometrial tuberculosis and laboratory-acquired infections are briefly discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 7.7757959680888keywords = tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
