Inoculation to humans occurs through injured skin resulting in the formation of a solitary nodule known as \"fish tank granuloma.\" Disseminated infections have been reported in the immunocompromised and can present with extracutaneous manifestations such as arthritis and osteomyelitis. Nonaquatic transmission has not been previously reported. Case Presentation: A 63-year-old lady with rheumatoid arthritis and bronchiectasis was referred to dermatology with widespread soft dermal plaques, pustules, erosions, and necrotic wounds. Multiple bacterial and viral swabs were negative. A biopsy was performed that showed a neutrophilic dermatosis suggestive of Sweet's Syndrome. The patient initially improved with prednisolone, but subsequently deteriorated with a worsening rash, joint pains, and neutropenic sepsis. Repeat biopsies eventually revealed abundant acid-fast bacilli, later confirmed to be Mycobacterium marinum. Our patient had no history of exposure to aquatic organisms but had previously cared for an inland bearded dragon with an unknown illness. Although infection with M. marinum has been reported in reptiles, cases of nonaquatic zoonotic transmission have not been described in the literature. Conclusion: Mycobacterium marinum infection should be considered in patients with indicative clinical and histological features, especially in the immunocompromised, even in the absence of an obvious aquatic source of infection. Awareness of this entity could lead to earlier diagnoses and reduced morbidity and mortality.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"2024 ","pages":"2767290"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11698610/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142930656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, recent literature has reported cases of LS caused by various other bacteria, including Klebsiella pneumoniae. In this report, we present a rare case of LS in a patient with diabetes caused by K. pneumoniae. Case Report: A 62-year-old Vietnamese male with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, presented with an 8-day history of progressive left neck swelling, fever, dysphagia, odynophagia, and reduced appetite. Despite initial antibiotic therapy, his condition deteriorated, leading to pulmonary abscesses and septic shock. Abscess content culture revealed K. pneumoniae. The patient required intubation, mechanical ventilation, and surgical drainage of the neck abscess. Treatment with meropenem, along with glycemic control, led to clinical improvement. The patient was subsequently extubated, achieved complete wound healing, and was discharged with normal biochemical parameters. Conclusion: This case highlights that LS can be caused by pathogens not initially outlined by Andre Lemierre, such as K. pneumoniae. Clinicians should consider a broader spectrum of causative organisms when there is a strong clinical suspicion of LS and adjust antimicrobial coverage accordingly. The association between K. pneumoniae-related LS and diabetes mellitus warrants further investigation, as current evidence suggests that diabetes may predispose patients to this particular pathogen.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"2024 ","pages":"8176530"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11685315/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142913854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patient initially sought medical attention with a 3-week history of fever, night sweats, and malaise. Considering the chest computed tomography findings compatible with fungal disease and neutropenia, he underwent broad-spectrum antifungal therapy. Following the occurrence of splenic infarctions and a gastric fistula, the patient underwent a partial gastrectomy and splenectomy. Despite the interventions, the patient did not have a successful outcome and died on the second postoperative day. This case highlights the importance of timely suspicion, immediate antifungal therapy, and surgical intervention to improve the survival prospects of patients with multifaceted manifestations of mucormycosis.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"2024 ","pages":"4079965"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11669425/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142892276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In clinical practice, endocarditis is the most frequent cardiovascular complication and is responsible for most of the brucellosis-related mortality cases and usually diagnosed lately in the course of the disease with mostly aorta valve involvement. In this case report, we present the case of a 27-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital with fever, sudden onset right side hemiparesis, and horizontal gaze palsy. During the stroke work up, she underwent cardiac evaluation, including echocardiography with susceptibility to septic emboli with cardiac origin, and the result indicates presence of vegetations on prosthetic aortic valve suggestive of infective endocarditis. Hopefully our patient responded well to combination of heart surgery and antibrucellosis regimen and was finally discharged with stable general condition. It is important to raise awareness of this rare but potentially serious complication of brucellosis, especially in the endemic area, and to emphasize the value of early diagnosis and treatment.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"2024 ","pages":"7361317"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11623984/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142799459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, like other infectious diseases, its epidemiology is subject to change. This case report documents two cases with clinical presentations that deviate from what is expected in typical cases of Babesiosis. Two patients presented to a safety-net hospital in Newark, NJ, during the summer of 2022 with nonspecific symptoms. The first patient had a history of polysubstance use disorder and presented with bilateral leg pain, drowsiness, exertional dyspnea, back pain, and chest pain. The second patient had recently returned from a trip to Guatemala and presented with subjective fevers, generalized myalgias, malaise, headaches, and chills. Both patients underwent similar workups yielding a diagnosis of Babesiosis. Of note, neither patient had recently spent time in wooded areas. Ultimately, both patients were treated for Babesiosis with resolution of their presenting symptoms. These two cases suggest that the epidemiology of Babesiosis is changing and provide a clinical workflow for diagnosing and managing this disease in a modern healthcare setting.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"2024 ","pages":"3912571"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11623983/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142799547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
