Case Report: Case Series of Kocuria palustris Bacteremia among Immunocompromised Patients
We present three cases of bacteremia in immunocompromised patients admitted to our hospital; one patient was receiving chemotherapy for gall bladder carcinoma, the second was on maintenance hemodialysis for chronic kidney disease, and the third was receiving chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia. All three patients presented with a fever in the setting of neutropenia during the course of treatment with chemotherapy (in Cases 1 and 3) or hemodialysis (in Case 2). The blood culture samples of all the patients had pure isolates of Kocuria species K. palustris, which was identified by matrix assisted laser desorption ionisat...

Influence of blood pressure variations during hemodialysis on the prognosis of dialysis patients
Clin Exp Hypertens. 2023 Dec 31;45(1):2236336. doi: 10.1080/10641963.2023.2236336.ABSTRACTThe prognosis of dialysis patients is poorer than that of the general population. The relationship between dialysis patients' blood pressure (BP) and mortality is controversial. We investigated the relationships between mortality and (i) pre-dialysis BP and (ii) BP variation during hemodialysis in maintenance dialysis patients.We retroactively analyzed the cases of the 284 patients on hemodialysis (mean age 68 ± 13 years old) who had been regularly followed at Kokura Daiichi Hospital, Japan in 2018. We assessed the relationship betwe...

A urokinase-associated outbreak of < em > Ralstonia mannitolilytica < /em > bloodstream infections in haemodialysis patients in north-eastern Italy, January to April 2023
Euro Surveill. 2023 Jul;28(28). doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.28.2300328.ABSTRACTAn outbreak of Ralstonia mannitolilytica bloodstream infections occurred in four hospitals in north-eastern Italy, involving 20 haemodialysis patients with tunnelled central vascular catheter access. We identified as the outbreak source a batch of urokinase vials imported from India contaminated with R. mannitolilytica. Whole genome sequences of the clinical and urokinase strains were highly related, and only urokinase-treated patients were reported with R. mannitolilytica infections (attack rate = 34%; 95% confidence interval: 22.1-47.4)....
