Cranial mycetoma: A rare case report with review of literature
Fouzia Siraj, Akanksha Malik, Sharma Shruti, KB Shankar, Swati SinghJournal of Global Infectious Diseases 2021 13(4):192-195 Mycetoma is a chronic granulomatous infection caused by fungi or bacteria, known as eumycetoma and actinomycetoma, respectively. Mycetoma commonly affects young males belonging to low socioeconomic strata, usually barefooted agricultural workers. It mainly affects lower and upper limbs presenting as a painless swelling with discharging sinus. Rarely, is it encountered in the intracranial location. The diagnosis relies on the clinical presentation and identification of the etiological agents within t...

A disastrous omen & #8211; Candidal pyo pneumopericardium
Rathijit Pal, Darpanarayan Hazra, Kishore Pichamuthu, Kundavaram Paul Prabhakar AbhilashJournal of Global Infectious Diseases 2021 13(4):189-191 Pyo-pneumopericardium or purulent pericarditis is a rare medical entity associated with high mortality. We hereby report a rare case of a 25-years old lady with pyo-pneumopericardium, aspirated pus culture from the pericardial cavity of which grew yeast (Candida species) like organism. This patient underwent a pericardiocentesis and was initiated on generic antibiotic treatment. However, despite the best possible medical management, she succumbed to her illness. This is a rare ca...

Diabetic foot infection with Bacteroides pyogenes
Padmaja Ananth Shenoy, Shashidhar Vishwanath, Ravikumar Terikere Nagaraj, Barnini Banerjee, M Sunil KrishnaJournal of Global Infectious Diseases 2021 13(4):186-188 >Diabetic foot infections are the most common serious diabetes-related complication posing significant socioeconomic burden on the health-care system. Diabetic foot microbiota consists of polymicrobial flora with predominance of Gram-negative aerobes and anaerobes. Here, we report a rare case of diabetic foot infection by Bacteroides pyogenes, an obligate Gram-negative anaerobic bacillus which is commonly encountered in polymicrobial animal bite wound infection...

Facial nerve palsy as a neurological manifestation of COVID-19
We report the case of a patient with recent history of diarrhea and malaise that was admitted to the hospital presenting right facial paresis with orbicular muscle involvement. Nasopharyngeal swab tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on the real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and magnetic resonance imaging showed no structural changes. During the hospital stay, the patient showed clinical improvement, and no other symptoms were observed. This case presentation suggests a possible association between neuropathies and SARS-CoV-2 infection. (Source: Journal of ...

Pebbled trachea: A case series and literature review of tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica
We report a series of three cases diagnosed with tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica on bronchoscopy and computed tomography (CT) chest. Most patients were diagnosed incidentally on evaluation for chronic cough. The association of this entity with chronic bacterial infections and tuberculosis is an intriguing entity that was observed in our patients. Nodular, ulcerative, and calcific lesions in the trachea are bronchoscopic findings seen in quite a few other conditions posing diagnostic challenges. However, the classical bronchoscopic appearance with CT imaging in an appropriate clinical context can lead to an accura...

Molecular characterization of resistance-nodulation-cell division efflux pump genes in multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
Discussion: RND efflux pump AdeABC-RS system plays a significant role in emerging multi drug resistant A. baumannii. Mutation in AdeS gene deciphers the role of regulatory gene. Hence, antimicrobial stewardship should be strictly followed and efflux pump inhibiting substances should be vigorously searched to bring back the era of existing antibiotics.

Thrombocytopenia in malaria: A red-herring for dengue, delaying the diagnosis of imported malaria
Conclusions: Low platelet counts could delay suspecting and testing for malaria. Eliciting a history of travel to a malaria-endemic country could provide an important and discerning clue to suspect and test for malaria in such patients. (Source: Journal of Global Infectious Diseases)

Phylodynamic pattern of genetic clusters, paradigm shift on spatio-temporal distribution of clades, and impact of spike glycoprotein mutations of SARS-CoV-2 isolates from India
Conclusions: The study has revealed emergence of variants with shifting of clade dynamics within a year in India. It is shown uneven distribution of clades across the nation requiring timely deposition of SARS-CoV-2 sequences. Functional evaluation of mutations in S-protein reveals their significance in virulence, immune escape features and disease severity besides impacting therapeutics and prophylaxis.
