Cryptogenic liver abscess caused by a K1 serotype Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate
We report a 56-year-old Hispanic female with no previous intra-abdominal pathology and no recent travel, who presented with subacute abdominal pain and developed bacteremia and monomicrobial pyogenic liver abscess due to a community-acquired K1 serotype K. pneumoniae isolate. In this case, the infection was recognized early, so the patient was successfully treated with percutaneous drainage and prolonged antibiotic therapy. Hvkp can cause severe invasive disease with high morbidity and mortality, and the recent emergence of multidrug resistance in these strains poses a serious threat to public health. In addition, the isol...

Melioidosis presenting predominantly as thoracic empyema
Ngoc-Huyen Dao-Thi, Au Nguyen-Tiet, Lam Nguyen-HoJournal of Global Infectious Diseases 2022 14(2):87-89 Burkholderia pseudomallei has been rarely mentioned as a causative organism of thoracic empyema in previous literature. Here, we reported two cases (a 66-year-old male farmer and a 57-year-old male security guard) presenting with fever and pleuritic chest pain. Their chest computed tomography scans revealed pleural effusion which was frank pus confirmed through thoracentesis.

Characteristics of bacterial colonization and urinary tract infection after indwelling of double-J ureteral stent and percutaneous nephrostomy tube
Conclusion: Pseudomonas spp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are commonly infecting both the CUUT. E. coli infections are more commonly infecting the nephrostomy tubes. MDR microorganisms are frequent, mainly in patients with prior urinary tract infection, presence of urinary catheter before admission, and prolonged use of a single catheter.

A randomized controlled trial of combined ivermectin and zinc sulfate versus combined hydroxychloroquine, darunavir/ritonavir, and zinc sulfate among adult patients with asymptomatic or mild coronavirus-19 infection
Conclusion: We demonstrated that both treatment regimens were safe, but both treatment regimens had no virological or clinical benefit. Based on this result and current data, there is no supporting evidence for the clinical benefit of ivermectin for coronavirus-19. (Source: Journal of Global Infectious Diseases)

Hyponatremia in melioidosis: Analysis of 10-year data from a hospital-based registry
Conclusion: Hyponatremia occurs in 84.1% of hospitalized patients with melioidosis. Older age and AKI are associated with a higher incidence of hyponatremia. The presence of severe hyponatremia is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality, need for mechanical ventilation and ICU stay. (Source: Journal of Global Infectious Diseases)
