Can Oral Swabs Be Used to Diagnose Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Cervicofacial Lymphadenitis?
ABSTRACT Objective We investigated the presence of mycobacteria in the oral cavity and oropharynx of children with nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) cervicofacial lymphadenitis compared to negative controls. Our aim was to evaluate whether oral cavity and oropharyngeal swab sampling could serve as a minimally invasive alternative to diagnostic ...

Lymphoadenopathies caused by Bartonella henselae
Bartonella henselae is the causative agent of cat scratch disease, the main manifestation of which is lymphadenopathy, but it can manifest as bacillary angiomatosis, injury to internal organs, joints, eyes, heart, kidneys. This disease is often encountered in the practical work of doctors, especially with an atypical form of the course, which occurs in

Coagulation status of immune‐mediated polyarthritis in dogs
Objective To describe the coagulation status of dogs with immune‐mediated polyarthritis. Materials and Methods Hospital records at a single referral centre were retrospectively reviewed for dogs diagnosed with immune‐mediated polyarthritis. Cases were classified as hypercoagulable, normocoagulable, hypocoagulable, or hypercoagulable and hypocoagulable ...

Isolation of Bartonella henselae and Two New Bartonella Subspecies, Bartonellakoehlerae Subspecies boulouisii subsp. nov. and Bartonella koehlerae Subspecies bothieri subsp. nov. from Free-Ranging Californian Mountain Lions and Bobcats. [PDF]
Domestic cats are the natural reservoir of Bartonella henselae, B. clarridgeiae and B. koehlerae. To determine the role of wild felids in the epidemiology of Bartonella infections, blood was collected from 14 free-ranging California mountain lions (Puma ...

Persistence of Bartonella spp. stealth pathogens: from subclinical infections to vasoproliferative tumor formation [PDF]
Bartonella spp. are facultative intracellular bacteria that typically cause a long-lasting intraerythrocytic bacteremia in their mammalian reservoir hosts, thereby favoring transmission by blood-sucking arthropods.

ABSTRACT Cryptococcal meningitis in non‐HIV patients and comorbid with Guillain‐Barré syndrome is rare. Accurate diagnosis necessitates a comprehensive understanding of historical records, laboratory workup, and a heightened index of suspicion, coupled with prompt and comprehensive combined therapy.

Survey of vector-borne agents in feral cats and first report of Babesia gibsoni in cats on St Kitts, West Indies [PDF]
Background: As there is little data on vector-borne diseases of cats in the Caribbean region and even around the world, we tested feral cats from St Kitts by PCR to detect infections with Babesia, Ehrlichia and spotted fever group Rickettsia (SFGR) and
