Acute Focal Bacterial Nephritis

Abstract Background Acute focal bacterial nephritis (AFBN) is a seldom infection in children kidney disease,Vesicoureteral reflux(VUR) often exist in infants who are easy to have urinary tract infection(UTI).In this study,we summarize the clinical features ,imaging and therapy. Methods eleven patients with AFBN and VUR aged from two months to eight months treated at this hospital from January 2017 to August 2019 were reviewed.The manifestations,urine and blood tests, imagings,treatments of patients were analyzed retrospectively. Results Fever was the common symptom,blood CRP was higher than normal(25 mg/L-200 mg/L),The percentage of neutrophils in blood was 52%-85%.The ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes was 1.39–11.6,Routine urine microscopic examination of leukocyte was +∽3+/HP,Urine culture samples were 42, 34 samples were positive, the positive rate was 80.95%.Diagnosis was set by CT combined MCU.Enhanced CT conducted for all patients showed hypoperfused wedged-shaped or round and space-occupying lesions in kidney.MCU conducted showed I-V grade VUR in single or both sides.9 cases were treated with prophylactic antibiotics, DxHA injection was operated on 1 case, cohen operation for another patient.Relapses were rarely occur after insisting on treatment. Conclusion AFBN in children are rare and associated with VUR. Patients with AFBN should perform MCU to find out VUR and insist on prophylactic antibiotic until the VUR disappeared, patients with recurrent infection and serious VUR need urological treatment in order to prevent the formation of renal scar.

ABSTRACT The prevalence of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in dogs with Type I intervertebral disc extrusion has been reported as high as 38% within 6 wk of surgery. Proper treatment of a UTI is important with myelopathy because it is a risk factor for persistent infection and reinfection in dogs. The study authors' investigated the incidence of UTIs in dogs having received either cefovecin or cefazolin as a preoperative prophylactic antibiotic for thoracolumbar hemilaminectomy. Thirty-nine dogs were retrospectively identified and assigned to groups based on preoperative antibiotic administration and postoperative urinary tract management. Urinalysis and urine culture performed preoperatively, at 2 wk, and at 6 wk, were reviewed to determine the incidence of UTIs. Urinary tract management, grade of neurologic deficit, time to ambulation, and time to voluntary urination were identified to evaluate for additional risk factors. No significant prevalence of UTI incidence was appreciated between the cefovecin and cefazolin groups. Patients with higher grades of neurologic deficit and that took longer to regain ambulation and voluntary urination were at significantly greater risk for UTIs throughout the postoperative period. This study reemphasizes the importance of continued surveillance for UTIs in patients with prolonged neurologic recovery.

Clinical oral Candida infection (candidiasis) is one of the common oral mucosal infections, and its management is usually frustrating due to either treatment failure or recurrence. Historically, oral candidiasis has been branded as disease of diseased. The unsuccessful management of oral candidiasis can due to either incorrect diagnosis, failure to identify (or correct) the underlying predisposing factor(s), or inaccurate prescription of antifungal agents. Failure to properly treat oral candidiasis will lead to persistence of the fungal cell in the oral cavity and hence recurrence of infection. The oral health care provider should be aware of these fall pits in order to successfully manage oral candidiasis.

AbstractPeople with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) experi-ence unrefreshing sleep, aches, hypersensitivity, and cognitive and emotional difficulties. Although no specific causative factor or biological agent is known to account for all of the features of FMS and these related diagnoses, the generalized hypersensitivity of the body is considered to be affected by disturbances in cen-tral nervous system (CNS) functions. Such CNS dis-turbances are intrinsic to the sleeping-waking brain, where the common symptom elements in all these illnesses are poor quality of sleep, nonspecific pain, fatigue, and psychological distress in the absence of known disease pathology.

Tuberculous Lymphadenitis (TBLN) is most common extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The common symptom of TBLN is cervical lymphadenopathy which is known to mimic numerous pathological conditions like NHL. Coexistency TBLN and lymphoma is  a rare. A woman, 56 years old, had chief complaint of cervical masses since 2 months ago. She had history of weight loss, fever and night sweats but no history of chronic cough. From physical examination and supporting examination, the patient was diagnosed with TBLN coexists with NHL. She got antituberculosis drug (ATD) for 2 weeks before chemotherapy. The patient died of septic shock 9 days later after chemotherapy. From HPE examination, TBLN and NHL may show simillar feature so Zhiel-Neelsen staining and Immunohistochemical are important to confirm each disease. ATD was given to supress the mycobacterium activity before chemotherapy. However the patient had febrile neutropenia after chemotherapy and died of septic shock. Both TBLN and NHL may occur with simillar sign and symptom and HPE. Further examinations have to be done to confirm the diagnosis of both disesases. Although ATD had given to prevent Tb infection progresivity. On 7 days after chemotherapy she had febrile neutropenia and lead to death due to septic shock.

Background: Anemia is one of the common Hematological disorders in India and worldwide. It affects all the age groups both in Males and Females. Moderate to Severe Anemia causes increased morbidity and mortality in elderly patients (AWHO expert group) - According to Worlds Health Organization, Anemia is a define when adults males are having Hemoglobin less than 13.5gr% when adults females non-pregnant less than 12 gr% and when pregnant females are having less than 11 ger%. The incidence of Anemia is very high in old age people who are more than 75 years of age. It ranges from 9% to 41%. In India Anemia is commonly due to nutrition, pregnancy, Hookworm infestation, DUB in the case of females, and Malignancy. The prevalence of anemia in the elderly has been found to range from 9% to 42% with the highest prevalence in 80 years and above. The common causes of anemia in India are Nutritional, Pregnancy, Hookworm infestation, and DUB in the case of Females and Malignancy. The common symptom is General weakness, Fatigue, Lack of concentration, Shortness of Breath, and Palpitations. A WHO expert group proposed that anemia should be considered when hemoglobin level below 13.5gr& in adult males; 12gr% in adults females non-pregnant; 11 gr% in adult female pregnant; 12gr% in children over 14yrs(1). The aim is to evaluate the etiology and clinical features of anemia in adults in rural medical colleges. Subjects & Methods: This study is conducted at GEMS Medical College, Srikakulam, A.P for the period of 1 year from April 2018 to March 2019. This study includes 120 patients with Anemia. The age group is between 20 years and 70 years. Males were 56 and females were 64. Results: We have conducted this study at GEMS Medical College, Srikakulam for 1 year, from April 2019 to March 2019 total no. of patients included in this study are 120 males 56 and females 64. The age group is between 20 years and 70 years. The maximum patients are in between 30 years and 70 years in both sexes. Conclusion: Anemia is a common medical problem in developing countries. In a rural part of India, the disorders will complicate the pregnancy also. So periodical examination and education of the people can decrease morbidity and mortality. In our area still, the common cause is nutritional.

: A number of patients of febrile thrombocytopenia increase during monsoon and postmonsoon period. Diseases like dengue fever, malaria, chikungunya fever, etc. are responsible for the clustering of febrile thrombocytopenia cases during this period. The diagnosis of fever with thrombocytopenia cases can be challenging and physicians should be aware of the regional and endemic seasonal cause of this syndrome. Study Design: It is a prospective observational study. Material and Methods: The study included 103 consecutive patients. The patients admitted with acute febrile illness defined by a duration of less than 2 weeks with thrombocytopenia were evaluated. Results: The present study included 103 consecutive cases of febrile thrombocytopenia. Out of these, 71.84% were male and 28.16% were female. The most common etiology for febrile thrombocytopenia was dengue fever (44.66%) and malaria (31.06%). Among clinical evaluation of the cases, fever was the inclusion criteria. Myalgia was the most common symptom found after fever, which was observed in 83.5% of the patients. The most common bleeding manifestation was petechiae/ purpura (12.62%) followed by hematuria (6.80%). Renal dysfunction was present in all 8(100%) cases of sepsis, followed by 14(43.75%) cases of malaria. All sepsis cases also had liver dysfunction, followed by 91.3% cases in dengue fever and 90.62 % cases in malaria had liver dysfunction. Conclusion: The study showed that acute febrile thrombocytopenia is an important seasonal syndrome. The common causes are dengue fever and malaria. Early identification of these diseases and prompt treatment decreases complications and reduces mortality.
