Autopsy Findings

Bacillus cereus is a ubiquitous Gram-positive rod seldom considered pathogenic in clinical isolates. However, it possesses multiple virulence factors explaining why it has been linked to fulminant and pyogenic infections in vulnerable hosts. Its recovery from sterile samples in immunocompromised patients cannot be disregarded. Premature infants would fall into this category. We describe the case of a neonate born at 26 weeks of gestational age, who died of a rapidly progressive B. cereus necrotizing pneumonia following suspected nosocomial acquisition. The rapidity of his course and the autopsy findings of necrosis with minimal inflammation suggest a toxin-mediated process. Pathologists should be aware of this pathogen and obtain proper microbiological samples in the presence of such autopsy findings, as the diagnosis may have infection-prevention implications in health-care settings.

Aerobic Actinomycetes

Pulmonary nocardiosis is a subacute or chronic necrotizing pneumonia caused by aerobic actinomycetes of the genusNocardiaand rare in immune-competent patients. A 35-year-old male, who had treated with antituberculosis drugs, presented with cough, dyspnea, and expectoration with episodes of hemoptysis with purulent sputum. The diagnosis of nocardiosis was made by microscopic examination of the surgically resected portion of the lung and revealed filamentous Gram-positive bacteria.
