Subsequent Improvement

A 52-year-old woman was referred to the respiratory team with worsening shortness of breath for the last 3 months, which had deteriorated significantly over the last 2–3 weeks. She underwent a CT pulmonary angiogram, which was reported locally as showing a large pulmonary embolism. Given the chronic history and appearance of the thrombus, the patient was referred to a specialist pulmonary vascular disease multidisciplinary team and underwent a PET-CT scan with the diagnosis being felt to be more consistent with a pulmonary artery sarcoma. Within 4 weeks, she underwent a pulmonary endarterectomy which confirmed the presence of an extensive mass. She underwent bilateral endarterectomy and pulmonary artery valve replacement, with subsequent improvement of her breathlessness back to premorbid baseline. Postoperative histology has confirmed a pulmonary artery angiosarcoma. Alternate imaging modalities and early referral to a specialist unit allowed as early a diagnosis as possible with good symptomatic benefit.

Mupirocin Resistance

Apropos to the article by Dr Bali, titled “Mupirocin resistance in clinical isolates of methicillin-sensitive and resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a tertiary care centre of North India” (1), the authors have raised important issue of emerging antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Antimicrobial resistance is an increasingly serious threat to global public health that requires action across all government sectors and society. As per WHO, AMR lurks the effective prevention and management of an ever-increasing spectrum of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, fungi and viruses. Novel resistance mechanisms are emerging and spreading globally, threatening the man’s ability to treat common infectious diseases.
