Autopsy Findings in a Case of Lomentospora prolificans Fungemia in Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Lomentospora prolificans is a soil‐, plant‐, or animal‐borne mold that can affect immunocompromised hosts. Most L. prolificans infections are identifiable in the bloodstream. L. prolificans fungemia has never been reported in an autopsy. Case Report We treated a 79‐year‐old man with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), MDS‐EB‐1 subtype.

Diagnostic Challenge and Treatment Delay in Drowning‐Associated Pneumonia: A Case of Combined Aeromonas, Legionella, and Aspergillus Infection

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Drowning‐associated pneumonia often involves multiple types of pathogens, including Aeromonas hydrophila, Legionella spp., and fungi. We report the case of an 82‐year‐old man who developed a rare combined infection with these three organisms after freshwater drowning. Initial therapy for typical aspiration pneumonia was ineffective.

Prior outpatient antibiotic use as predictor for microbial aetiology of community-acquired pneumonia: hospital-based study [PDF]

, 2007
Objective: The causative micro-organism in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is often difficult to predict. Different studies have examined chronic morbidity and clinical symptoms as predictors for microbial aetiology of pneumonia.
