Elizabethkingia anophelis bacteremia is associated with clinically significant infections and high mortality

Scientific Reports, 2016
Unlike Elizabethkingia meningoseptica, the clinical importance of E. anophelis is poorly understood. We determined the clinical and molecular epidemiology of bacteremia caused by Elizabethkingia-like species from five regional hospitals in Hong Kong ...

Brevibacterium massiliense bacteremia

IDCases, 2017
Brevibacterium massiliense infection in man is rare. We report here the second case with isolation of B. massiliense in human. This micro-organism requires specific laboratory investigations such as 16S rRNA gene sequencing for accurate species identification. The clinical outcome was favorable.

Tissue‐retained needles in people who inject drugs: A systematic review of case reports and series on clinical presentations, complications and management

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Tissue‐retained needles from intravenous drug use can cause rare but severe complications, ranging from local to systemic infections to needle embolization. Due to the limited evidence and the lack of epidemiological studies on the issue, we systematically reviewed the literature focusing on case reports and case series on ...

Reactive Infectious Mucocutaneous Eruption (RIME): An Australian Case Series

Australasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Whilst Reactive Infectious Mucocutaneous Eruption (RIME) displays a low mortality rate, the condition results in significant morbidity and resource allocation, including prolonged hospital admission. As such, early diagnosis and optimisation of treatment is imperative.
