Necrotizing pneumonia (NP), also known as cavitary pneumonia or cavitatory necrosis, is a rare but severe complication of lung parenchymal infection. [ 1][ 2][ 3] In necrotizing pneumonia, there is a substantial liquefaction following death of the lung tissue, which may lead to gangrene formation in the lung. [ 4][ 5] In most cases patients ...
Acute septic arthritis, infectious arthritis, suppurative arthritis, pyogenic arthritis, [ 4] osteomyelitis, or joint infection is the invasion of a joint by an infectious agent resulting in joint inflammation. Generally speaking, symptoms typically include redness, heat and pain in a single joint associated with a decreased ability to move the ...
Group A streptococcal infections are a number of infections with Streptococcus pyogenes, a group A streptococcus (GAS). [ 1] S. pyogenes is a species of beta-hemolytic Gram-positive bacteria that is responsible for a wide range of infections that are mostly common and fairly mild. If the bacteria enters the bloodstream, the infection can become ...
Bloodstream infections ( BSIs) are infections of blood caused by blood-borne pathogens. [ 1] The detection of microbes in the blood (most commonly accomplished by blood cultures [ 2]) is always abnormal. A bloodstream infection is different from sepsis, which is characterized by severe inflammatory or immune responses of the host organism to ...
Septic shock is a subclass of distributive shock, a condition in which abnormal distribution of blood flow in the smallest blood vessels results in inadequate blood supply to the body tissues, resulting in ischemia and organ dysfunction. Septic shock refers specifically to distributive shock due to sepsis as a result of infection.
By definition, septic abortion is caused by a variety of bacterial infections. Bacteria can come from vaginal and endocervical flora or can be transmitted sexually. [ 4] The development of sepsis is primarily due to two scenarios. When there is an incomplete abortion caused by the pathogens that result in products of conception remaining in the ...
Septic shock is low blood pressure due to sepsis that does not improve after fluid replacement. [ 9 ] Sepsis is caused by many organisms including bacteria, viruses and fungi. [ 10 ] Common locations for the primary infection include the lungs, brain, urinary tract, skin, and abdominal organs. [ 2 ]
Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a gram positive coccus bacteria of the genus Staphylococcus [ 1] found worldwide. [ 2] It is primarily a pathogen for domestic animals, [ 3] but has been known to affect humans as well. [ 4] S. pseudintermedius is an opportunistic pathogen that secretes immune modulating ...
