C1-C2 arthrodesis after spontaneous Propionibacterium acnes spondylodiscitis: Case report and literature analysis

Propionibacterium acnes (Cutibacterium acnes) is an anaerobic, gram-positive, slow growing bacteria. It can produce various virulence factors like bioactive exocellular products and metabolites. P.acnes blood isolates were considered signicant if two or more separate blood culture sets were positive on the same day and if systemic inammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was present without any alternate explanation. C.acnes if found in the blood of patients with implantable cardiac devices it should be considered as more than just a skin contaminant. These patients should be treated with appropriate therapies to prevent annihilatory consequences.

Jaundice is a manifestation of many diseases both benign and malignant. Genetic progress allowed to distinguish the group of unknown earlier rare cholestatic jaundices, which are resulted from gene mutations. There are no described algorithms of their diagnosis or treatment. In this article case report of the patient with benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 is presented. There is also literature analysis of this theme.

The Central Nervous System

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease with unknown cause, which very rarely occurs exclusively in the central nervous system. The authors performed biopsy sampling of a mass that developed in the left tentorium cerebelli that appeared to be a malignant tumor. The mass was diagnosed as a sarcoid granuloma, which was confirmed with the onset of antibody reaction product against Propionibacterium acnes. Findings suggesting sarcoidosis to be an immune response to P. acnes infection have recently been reported, and they give insight for diagnosis and treatment of this disease. The authors report the possible first case that was confirmed with P. acnes infection in a meningeal lesion in solitary neurosarcoidosis.
