Despite Strongyloides treatment and total parenteral nutrition, his pancolitis unexpectedly persisted despite negative stool cultures, and the patient failed to progress over several weeks with worsening abdominal pain. A colectomy was considered. However, due to his recent myocardial infarct requiring cardiac stenting, his anticoagulant and antiplatelets could not be ceased for at least 3 months without significant cardiac risk. After hospitalisation for several weeks in Australia, he was discharged against medical advice and flew back to Lebanon, where he presented with worsening pain and underwent a subtotal colectomy. Unfortunately, he developed multiorgan failure and died 3 weeks following his colectomy.

Herein, we report a case of acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by coadministration of vancomycin with high-dose meropenem that manifested as a rapid increase in serum creatinine levels and an associated increase in vancomycin trough concentrations. The patient was diagnosed with meningioma at 50 years and was followed up regularly. The patient underwent surgery and antibiotic treatment between 63 and 66 years for suspected meningitis and pneumonia. Coadministration of vancomycin with high-dose meropenem (6.0 g/day) caused AKI; however, no AKI occurred when vancomycin was administered alone or with a low dose of meropenem (1.5 or 3.0 g/day). To our knowledge, this report is the first to show that administering different dosages of meropenem in combination with vancomycin may contribute to the risk of developing AKI. We suggest that coadministered vancomycin and high-dose meropenem (6.0 g/day) may increase the risk of AKI. Our report adds to the limited literature documenting the coadministration of vancomycin with varying doses of meropenem and its impact on the risk of AKI and highlights the importance of investigating AKI risk in response to varying dosages of meropenem when it is coadministered with vancomycin.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"2024 ","pages":"7956014"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11211007/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141466400","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}

Non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae serogroups generally do not produce the cholera-causing toxin but do sporadically cause gastroenteritis and extra-intestinal infections. Recently, however, bloodstream infections caused by non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae are being increasingly reported, and these infections are associated with high mortality in immunocompromised hosts. We describe a case of non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae bacteremia in a patient with autoimmune pancreatitis and stenosis of the intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts. The clinical manifestations of bacteremia were fever and mild digestive symptoms. The blood cultures showed V. cholerae, which was identified as a non-O1, non-O139 serogroup by slide agglutination tests and PCR. The bloodstream infection of the patient was likely caused by the consumption of contaminated seafood at a banquet. The patient recovered after the administration of a third-generation cephalosporin. Non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae infection presents with or without gastrointestinal manifestations; close attention should be paid to the possibility of disseminated non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae infection in high-risk patients.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"2024 ","pages":"7219952"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11087146/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140911497","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}

Complications of the disease can be devastating because of its ability to cause bone destruction, spinal deformity, and paraplegia. So, in a tuberculosis-endemic region, clinical suspicion should be there for Potts disease when a child presents with paraplegia of the lower limbs. Children can develop tuberculosis which can spread to the spine despite vaccination. The prognosis of spinal tuberculosis is improved by early diagnosis and rapid intervention.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"2024 ","pages":"5575592"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11074868/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140878399","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}
