Indwelling pleural catheter infection and colonisation: a clinical practice review
J Thorac Dis. 2024 Mar 29;16(3):2196-2204. doi: 10.21037/jtd-23-1761. Epub 2024 Mar 27.ABSTRACTIndwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) are used in the management of malignant pleural effusions, but they can become infected in 5.7% of cases. This review aims to provide a summary of the development of IPC infections and their microbiology, diagnosis and management. IPC infections can be deep, involving the pleural space, or superficial. The former are of greater clinical concern. Deep infection is associated with biofilm formation on the IPC surface and require longer courses of antibiotic treatment. Mortality from infections is...

Mycotic aortic aneurysms: characteristic macroscopic findings in a case series
We report 10 patients with MAAs in whom macroscopically, similar coined-sized lesions of the inner aortic wall were seen in all cases. When a coin-sized lesion in the inner aortic wall is seen during open surgical repair of an aortic aneurysm, the surgeon should consider an infectious cause. Microbiological tissue samples should be collected, and additional targeted antibiotic therapy should be started.PMID:38616531 | DOI:10.1080/14017431.2024.2341696 (Source: Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal)
