Disseminating MSSA Infection in a Preterm Infant With Rare Finding of Spinal Epidural Abscess: A Case Report

An unexpected cause of persistent bacteraemia and portomesenteric venous gas
We report the case of a 59-year old man with portomesenteric venous gas (PMVG) due to inferior mesenteric vein fistulization caused by sigmoid diverticulitis with an unusual evolution. The patient initially presented with classic symptoms of lower abdominal pain and fever. Diagnosis of uncomplicated sigmoid diverticulitis was confirmed on computed tomography (CT) for which intravenous antibiotics were initiated. Hemocultures were positive for omnisensitive Escherichia Coli, but despite adequate intravenous antibiotic therapy, episodes of bacteraemia persisted and hemocultures remained positive. Repeat CT scan demonstrated ...
