Staphylococcus Aureus Endocarditis

Abstract Complications associated with Toxocara canis infection are rare. We present a case of a patient with Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis as a complication of an endomyocardial fibrosis caused by T canis. The epidemiological, pathological, and clinical features of this rare complication are described here.

On presentation ofStaphylococcus aureusendocarditis, unusual manifestations may represent the main clinical features of the disease. Isolated bacterial meningitis as the first manifestation of endocarditis is considered to be an unusual neurological complication. Here, we describe a caseS. aureusendocarditis presenting as isolated meningitis and mimicking meningococcal septicaemia. Because of the high mortality rate of the disease, the prompt recognition of this infectious syndrome is of crucial importance for the correct management of patients.

AbstractBackgroundPurpura fulminans (PF) is a haematologic emergency that can occur in the setting of severe septic shock. Its pathophysiology is not well-understood; however, some evidence suggests it may be mediated by excessive protein C consumption.Case summaryIn this case report, we describe a patient with PF secondary to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis. She presented with severe septic shock and, despite haemodynamic improvement, developed a significant purpuric rash. Diagnostic work-up was notable for severely decreased serum levels of protein C. This patient was successfully treated with protein C concentrate and surgical valve replacement.DiscussionWhile PF is rarely associated with S. aureus infection, this presentation may be more frequently encountered among clinicians in the current opioid epidemic. Quick recognition is crucial and a multidisciplinary approach, including intravenous infusion of protein C, may be considered.
