Abstract Background Cronobacter sakazakii (C. sakazakii) is a bacterium known to cause severe neonatal infections in premature infants with the consumption of contaminated powdered milk formula. Adult infections are rare, and there have been no reports of pyosalpinx due to C. sakazakii to date. Case presentation We report a case of left pyosalpinx due to C. sakazakii in a sexually inactive postmenopausal woman. A 70-year-old woman presented to our hospital with left lower abdominal pain and fever. Abdominal computed tomography disclosed a cystic mass continuous with the left edge of the uterus. Urgent laparotomy revealed a ruptured left pyosalpinx with pus-like content. Left salpingo-oophorectomy, resection of the right tube, and washing of the abdominal cavity with saline were performed. Pathological examination of the left adnexa showed tubal tissue with acute inflammation and inflammatory exudate, which were compatible with pyosalpinx, and pus culture yielded C. sakazakii. Conclusions This is the first case report of pyosalpinx due to C. sakazakii. Cronobacter sakazakii infections in adult women might occur in the elderly, whose immunity has weakened. Further accumulation of cases of C. sakazakii infection is needed to clarify the etiology and behavior of C. sakazakii in adults.

Seventy-four full-term and 42 premature infants were studied from birth to 9 months of age in relation to intake of iron. All were maintained on a vitamin-supplemented milk diet, and approximately a third had iron supplementation of 12 mg in 32 fluid ounces of milk intake. Significant differences between groups as regards growth, development or number of illnesses were not apparent. The infants fed supplemental iron had higher values for hemoglobin, hematocrit and serum iron, after 3 to 3½ months of age, and these values continued to be significantly higher throughout the 9-month period of observation. Among the infants who received no iron supplement, 2 full-term and 16 premature infants developed evidence of anemia, which responded quickly when the infants were changed to the iron-fortified formula. No signs of toxicity or difficulty were noted in the iron-supplemented group, nor of lack of acceptability by the infants of any formula used in the study.

1. Mn and Cu intake and retention in twenty full-term infants and six preterm infants were studied on the basis of 72 h balances. The age of the infants was 2–16 weeks and the gestational age of the preterm infants (triplets) 34 and 36 weeks. Three nutrition schemes were pursued: breast-fed, formula-fed with unsupplemented adapted formula and formula-fed with trace element supplementation.2. The mean Mn concentration of all breast-milk samples (n 2339) was 6·2 μg/1. The two formulas had similar Mn concentrations (77 and 99 μg/1) but had different Fe, Cu (121 and 619 μg/1), Zn and I contents. The mean Cu concentration in mother's milk was 833 μg/1.3. The following mean daily Mn intakes and retentions (μg/kg) respectively were measured: breast-fed fullterm 1·06 (sd 0·43) and 0·43 (sd 0·65), formula-fed full-term 14·2 (sd 3·1) and 2·8 (sd 4·8), formula-fed preterm 15·0 (sd 2·2) and 0·06 (sd 5·87). The results for Cu were 114·5 (sd 22·3) and 88·0 (sd 46·5) μg/kg in breast-fed, 19–8 (sd 4·2) and 4·6 (-11·5–9·6) in the unsupplemented formula-fed and 106·4 (sd 18·9) and 55·5 (sd 20·3) in the supplemented formula full-term infant group. No significant influence of the trace element contents of the formulas on the relative retention of Mn or Cu was found.4. Young preterm infants, and to some degree young full-term infants, often had negative Mn balances caused by a high faccal excretion. The formulas with a Mn concentration below 100 μg/l gave a sufficient supply of Mn. Preterm infants fed on the unsupplemented formula had a marginal Cu supply and their first balances were negative (-3·8 (sd 1·8) μg/kg).5. In accordance with the estimated safe and adequate daily dietary intakes (recommended dietary allowances), formula-fed infants receive much more Mn than breast-fed infants and their absolute retention is higher.6. Cu from breast-milk had a significantly better biological availability than that from cow's milk formula. If retentions similar to those in breast-fed infants are intended, we conclude, therefore, that cow's milk formula should be fortified with Cu up to a level of at least 600 μg/l.

Premature infants were fed an artificial formula essentially free of tocopherol over the first 6 months of life. These infants were compared to two other groups of prematures one fed a formula of "average" tocopherol content, and the third group a tocopherol-fortified product. Although the use of the "tocopherol-free" product resulted in extremely low tocopherol concentration in serum, no significant differences were observed in the three groups of infants with respect to weight increment, hemoglobin concentration, erythrocyte counts, hematocrit value, or in erythrocyte glutathione and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. The requirements of the normal premature infant are met by a formula containing 3.0 mg of alpha tocopherol per liter of formula, in terms of achieving normal concentrations in serum during a 1-to-2-month period. Absorption studies in healthy full-term infants in the first week of life failed to reveal any significant differences in the degree of absorption of tocopherol as d-alpha tocopherol acetate, d-1 alpha tocopherol acetate and d alpha tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate, when administered in test doses providing 2.0 and 10.0 mg of free tocopherol. Observations on the effects of tocopherol supplementation on concentrations in serum of healthy full-term infants fed partly skim milk formula suggest that a daily supplement providing 0.5 mg of free tocopherol is adequate to produce a rapid rise to normal serum levels. However, except in terms of tocopherol concentrations, this study does not answer the question of true biological need for a tocopherol supplement in artificially fed infants. Because of the variable but marked decrease in tocopherol absorption in children with fibrocystic disease, very large supplements are necessary to maintain normal levels in serum. The observations reported here suggest that a minimum supplement of 100 mg tocopherol per day (free to-copherol as d-alpha tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate) is likely to be necessary in such patients, in order to restore serum concentrations to normal.
