Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome characterized by extended myolysis, elevation of serum aminotransferases and creatine kinase, and myoglobinuria. It is a rare but well-established complication of a spectrum of infectious diseases. Salmonella infections have been connected with this syndrome as well. We present here the case of a 58-year-old female affected by Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, a type of hereditary neuropathy, who presented with acute renal failure and rhabdomyolysis syndrome in the course of Salmonella infantis gastroenteritis. We formed some considerations on the pathogenesis of rhabdomyolysis in this specific setting based on certain experimental works on the Salmonella pathogenic cycle. We concluded that the calcium-dependent mechanism coupled with a predisposing factor might be of major significance in the development of this complication. 相似文献

To understand the changes in RSV hospitalization burden in children younger than two years following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we reviewed hospital records of children with acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) between January 2018 and June 2022 in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia. We compared RSV activity, age-specific annualized hospitalization rate, and disease severity between pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 periods. A total of 942 ALRI hospital admissions were included. RSV activity remained low for the typical RSV epidemic during 2020–2021 winter. An out-of-season RSV resurgence was observed in late spring and summer of 2021. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the annualized hospitalization rate for RSV-associated ALRI was 13.84/1000 (95% CI: 12.11–15.76) and highest among infants under six months. After the resurgence of RSV in the second half of 2021, the annualized hospitalization rate for RSV-associated ALRI in children younger than two years returned to the pre-pandemic levels with similar age distribution but a statistically higher proportion of severe cases. RSV immunization programs targeting protection of infants under six months of age are expected to remain impactful, although the optimal timing of administration would depend on RSV seasonality that has not yet been established in the study setting since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. 相似文献

Ischemia/reperfusion injury in renal transplantation leads to slow or initial nonfunction, and predisposes to acute and chronic rejection. In fact, severe ischemia reperfusion injury can significantly reduce graft survival, even with modern immunosuppressive agents. One of the mechanisms by which ischemia/reperfusion causes injury is activation of endothelial cells resulting in inflammation. Although several therapies can be used to prevent leukocyte recruitment to ischemic vessels (e.g. antiadhesion molecule antibodies), there have been no clinical treatments reported that can prevent initial immediate neutrophil recruitment upon reperfusion. Using intravital microscopy, we describe abrogation of immediate neutrophil recruitment to ischemic microvessels by the KATP antagonist glibenclamide (Glyburide™). Further, we show that glibenclamide can reduce leukocyte recruitment in vitro under physiologic flow conditions. ATP-regulated potassium channels (KATP ) are important in the control of cell membrane polarization. Here we describe profound hyperpolarization of endothelial cells during hypoxia, and the reduction of this hyperpolarization using glibenclamide. These findings suggest that control of endothelial membrane potential during ischemia may be an important therapeutic tool in avoiding ischemia/reperfusion injury, and therefore, enhancing transplant long-term function. 相似文献

We present a case of systemic Mycobacterium chelonae infection in an immunosuppressed patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), idiopathic hypoparathyroidism, and hypothyroidism. The patient was treated for 3 months for skin infection with clarithromycin monotherapy. Since her condition deteriorated, the antibiotic therapy was switched to intravenously administered clindamycin, cloxacillin, and meropenem. Due to further deterioration and isolation of M. chelonae from the blood culture, antimicrobial therapy was changed to azithromycin and amikacin. Drug-test sensitivity was performed, and the isolate was susceptible to clarithromycin only. The patient’s deteriorating status prevented orally administered medication with clarithromycin (parenteral formulation is not registered in Croatia). The same antibiotic regime was continued until the isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans. In addition, extensive calcifications in her brain were found on a computed tomography (CT) scan, which suggested Fahr’s syndrome. Despite all measures and supportive care, the patient developed multiorgan failure and eventually died. There has been an increase in the number of infections by rapidly growing mycobacteria, but only a few cases of severe systemic infection with M. chelonae have been described. If the infection is diagnosed early and a patient is treated with appropriate drugs, dissemination can be avoided despite immunosuppression. For serious skin, bone, and soft-tissue disease, a minimum of 4 months of a combined drug therapy is necessary. This is the first report of M. chelonae infection in Croatia and the first-described M. chelonae infection in a patient with concomitant Fahr’s syndrome. 相似文献
