Clinical Evolution

Neonatal mastitis is an inflammatory process of the mammary gland, presenting as erythema, edema, hypersensitivity, induration, sometimes with purulent exudate or abscess. It occurs more frequently in female infants, in the 3rd week of life and is usually unilateral. In most cases, the agent involved is Staphylococcus aureus and the clinical evolution is favorable.

SummaryThe partial pressure of O2in milk from normal cows and from cows with mastitis was measured and the concentrations of O2calculated. Oxygen levels of milk from normal cows were similar to those in venous plasma, but inflammation of the mammary gland led to a dramatic drop in O2concentration to < 10% of control values. Intracellular survival ofStaphylococcus aureusstrain M60 in bovine neutrophils was greater under anaerobic than aerobic conditions. The implications of low O2concentrations in milk from infected mammary glands for the bactericidal activity of bovine neutrophils is discussed.

Fat Necrosis

Steatonecrosis of the mammary gland is necrosis of its adipose tissue, followed by replacement with scar tissue. Lipogranuloma is known as a benign inflammatory process, necrosis of breast fat occurs due to iatrogenic breast trauma. Most often, fatty necrosis is seen in women with large breasts – in women with small breasts, it develops much less often. It is important to diagnose lipogranulomas because it can often mimic breast cancer. Fat necrosis of the breast is a common pathological condition, with a wide variety of presentations on mammography, ultrasound and MRI. The incidence of fatty necrosis of the breast is estimated at 0.6%, representing 2.75% of all breast lesions.

AbstractWe identified 29 episodes of suppurative thrombophlebitis in 27 patients admitted to a large general hospital between May 1980 and May 1984. In 25 patients, the intravenous cannulae had been in place for more than 3 days. Streptococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa or one of the Enterobacteriaceae were implicated in 14 patients. All these patients had recently undergone abdominal surgery or had a major intraabdominal inflammatory process at the time they developed thrombophlebitis. The remaining 13 patients were infected with Staphylococcus aureus, other grampositive cocci or Candida species. Only two of these had an active abdominal process at the time of their infection (x2 = 16.08, P<0.001). There is an apparent association between phlebitis caused by enteric organisms and active intra-abdominal pathology. There were two deaths related to delayed or deferred surgery. Suppurative thrombophlebitis is a lethal, preventable nosocomial infection that requires urgent surgical intervention.

Bauhinia Purpurea

Background: Mammary gland tissue (left half) revealed the presence of excess proliferation of fibrous tissue with disorganization of alveolar structures and the right half showed extensive fibrous tissue proliferation of mammary gland following intramammary inoculation of 2000 c.f.u. of Staphylococcus aureus. However, oral dosing of Bauhinia variegata L. bark powder at 6 gm/kg for 7 days and 3 gm/kg for another 7 days exhibited reduction of fibrous tissue in chronic mastitis. Objective: The fibrolytic effect of one week oral dosing of Bauhinia purpurea L. bark powder was studied in chronic mastitis with induced fibrosis as Bauhinia variegate L. is rarely available in plain land. Methods: Chronic mastitis with fibrosis was induced by intramammary inoculation of coagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus in group III and IV goats. Group I and III goats were injected with a single dose of ceftriaxone at 20 mg/kg intravenously, whereas group II and IV goats were orally administered Bauhinia purpurea L. bark powder at 6 g/kg for 7 days with a single dose of ceftriaxone at 20 mg/kg intravenously. Results: The t1/2β of ceftriaxone with Bauhinia purpurea L. stem bark powder in chronic mastitis increased significantly. Ceftizoxime was detected in plasma from 1 h to 48 h post dosing (pd) in group III and from 1 h to 96 h pd in group IV, respectively. Conclusion: Bark powder of Bauhinia purpurea L. at 6g/kg orally once daily increased the bioavailability of ceftriaxone and or ceftizoxime in milk due to its fibrolytic effect which was not reported earlier. Therefore, the Bauhinia purpurea L. bark powder having fibrolytic effect has the potential to reduce development of cancer.

Suckling Mice

The possibility of adherence of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli or Streptococcus agalactiae to the epithelium of the mammary gland was investigated by inoculating them into this gland of mice. S. aureus, S. epidermidis and E. coli did not adhere to alveolar epithelium in suckling or non-suckling mice. S. agalactiae adhered to alveolar epithelium in non-suckling mice but adhesion was not sufficiently strong to withstand suckling. Bacterial adherence probably does not play a significant role in the establishment of mastitis by these organisms.
