Chromobacterium violaceum is a facultative anaerobic, Gram-negative rod found in different ecosystems, especially tropical and subtropical areas. Human infections are rare, and just a few cases have been reported in literature. In this paper, we present the first non-lethal infection due to Chromobacterium violaceum, in an adult male with polycystic kidney disease in Colombia. Periareolar soft tissue infection was documented with isolation of Chromobacterium violaceum. Clinical manifestations, treatment, and outcome are shown.

is facultative anaerobic, motile, oxidase positive gram negative bacilli which is a normal inhabitant of soil and stagnant water of the tropical and subtropical areas. Human infections caused by is very uncommon with only a few cases reported in the literature, the first case being described by JE Lesslarin in 1927 in Malaya. In humans, infections ranging from life threatening sepsis with metastatic abscesses to skin infections and urinary tract infections can be caused by . High mortality rates are associated with these infections. So it is very essential to diagnosis and treat with appropriate antibiotic at the earliest. Here we report a case of neonatal osteomyelitis by and could prevent sepsis by adequate antibiotic therapy and intensive treatment.

Pseudoaneurysm is due to a disruption in arterial wall continuity. It forms a sac that communicates with the vessel lumen and is surrounded by the compressed, surrounding tissues and not by the wall of the artery from which the lesion arises. Many causes can predispose to the formation of a pseudoaneurysm such as trauma, surgical procedures, anticoagulation. In our patient another important risk factor for the formation of a pseudoaneurysm is ADPKD (autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease) that can cause vascular complication. The mechanisms leading to the genesis of the pseudoaneurysms in our patient are unknown, but the clinicians should bear in mind when evaluating this type of patients that ADPKD may have a various range of systemic cardiovascular manifestation.

Abstract Background Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an underestimated cause of acute coronary syndromes. A predisposing arteriopathy is often present and a stressor can sometimes be identified. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disorder; its associated arteriopathy has been described as a predisposing condition for SCAD. Case summary A 44-year-old woman with ADPKD presented in the emergency room with recent onset thoracic pain radiating to the left arm at rest. She had undergone a recent liver transplant, for which she had received high-dose corticosteroids during 1 month. She was still taking tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil. She had no traditional risk factors but had experienced stress postoperatively. She was known with moderate chronic kidney disease. The initial electrocardiogram (ECG) was normal but high-sensitive troponin T was significantly elevated. Coronary angiography demonstrated diffuse narrowing of the distal left anterior descending artery with preserved flow, compatible with a SCAD Type 2 that was treated conservatively. However, under dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel, the coronary dissection was progressive with new ischaemic ECG changes, further rise of troponins and development of apicoseptal hypokinesia. Because of the small vessel diameter and the preserved distal flow, conservative treatment was maintained. Clopidogrel was interrupted and the patient remained stable. Discussion As SCAD remains an underestimated cause of myocardial infarction, clinicians should be aware of the possibility of SCAD in ADPKD patients with chest pain. This case report illustrates that the decision DAPT vs. aspirin should be individualized in these patients.
