A Rare Report of Infectious Emphysematous Aortitis Secondary to Clostridium septicum without Prior Vascular Intervention

Case Reports in Vascular Medicine, 2017
The term “mycotic aneurysm” was first used by Osler in 1882 to describe a mushroom-shaped aneurysm in subacute bacterial endocarditis. Mycotic aneurysms account for only 2.6% of all aneurysms of the aorta.

Positive Cytoplasmic Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antigen with PR3 Specificity Glomerulonephritis in a Patient with Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis

Journal of Rheumatology, 2011
To the Editor: Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) antagonists are highly effective in treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). However, some patients have an inadequate response and switching the anti-TNF-α inhibitors may be effective after an initial ...

Getting to the heart of rectal bleeding: subacute bacterial endocarditis presenting as anaemia and a GI bleed

BMJ Case Reports, 2011
In this case report, the authors demonstrate a case of subacute bacterial endocarditis presenting with anaemia. It is the first of its kind to describe a delay in diagnosis due to an initial patient investigation for a bleed rather than a cardiac ...

A case of mistaken identity: subacute bacterial endocarditis associated with p-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody

BMJ Case Reports, 2010
Seventeen cases of subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE) associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) have been reported. Fifteen such cases have been associated with c-ANCA postivity and two with dual p-ANCA and c-ANCA antibodies.

Bacterial evolution and the Bak-Sneppen model [PDF]

arXiv, 2001
Recently, Lenski et al \cite{Elena,Lenski,Travisano} have carried out several experiments on bacterial evolution. Their findings support the theory of punctuated equilibrium in biological evolution. They have further quantified the relative contributions of adaptation, chance and history to bacterial evolution.
