In this report, we presented a patient with spontaneous pneumomediastinum after COVID-19. The patient was a 61-year-old man with a history of DM, hypertension, and heart failure, who has been infected with COVID-19. The patient was diagnosed with COVID-19 based on RT-PCR analysis of nasopharyngeal samples, and chest X-ray showed patchy infiltration upper and lower lobes bilaterally. By day 4, imaging was repeated, performed due to exacerbation of pleuritic chest pain, decreased O2 saturation (80%), and coughing that revealed multiple ground-glass opacities bilaterally, and interlobular septal thickening with emphysema in most of the left upper lobe and a small part of right upper lobe which led to severe spontaneous left pneumomediastinum and parenchymal consolidation was also observed. The combination of a chest tube, antibiotics (vancomycin 1 gr/bid and meropenem 1 g/bid), and antiviral (hydroxychloroquine 200 mg/bid and atazanavir 300 mg/daily) was prescribed, and continued treatment with antiviral and appropriate care for pneumomediastinum was successful. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum in the context of COVID-19 should be considered as a prognostic factor in favor of worsening diseases.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81482115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oral antibiotics are used to treat C. difficile, which further disrupts the intestinal flora resulting in unwanted side effects. Naturopathic treatments often have fewer side effects and lower secondary infection risk than pharmaceutical interventions making them ideal for pediatric use. This case report describes the effective treatment of a pediatric clinical case of C. difficile using naturopathic and complementary alternative medicines (CAMs) including black seed oil (Nigella sativa), bentonite clay, and probiotics. A healthy two-year-old patient presented to a pediatrician with symptoms of, and subsequently confirmed, C. difficile after having been recently hospitalized and treated for a gluteal abscess and cellulitis using clindamycin, vancomycin, and piperacillin/tazobactam. Through a shared decision-making process, the patient's mother and providers developed a treatment plan for the C. difficile infection (CDI), which included black seed oil, bentonite clay, and Lactobacillus probiotics. No C. difficile was detected via stool immunoassay after 4 days of combined CAM therapy. Our results underscore the need for additional research regarding the effectiveness of naturopathic CAMs including black seed oil, bentonite clay, and probiotics as alternatives to antibiotic treatment of CDI in children.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72952538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of transient distal (type 1) renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) in an infant with confirmed COVID-19. Case Presentation. We describe a 32-day-old female with diarrhea and fever without respiratory complaints. Her weight, height, and head circumference were normal for age. The primary lab test showed leukocytosis, neutrophilia, elevated inflammatory markers, and non-anion-gap metabolic acidosis. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and elevated SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin M confirmed COVID-19, while echocardiography and spiral chest computed tomography scan were normal. Intravenous fluid therapy and supportive care were initiated. Blood culture was positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae. Amikacin and cefotaxime were ordered. Although diarrhea and dehydration gradually improved, venous blood gas still showed metabolic acidosis. Due to the alkaline urine and hypokalemic-hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, dRTA was diagnosed. Notably, the patient dramatically responded to Shohl's solution. Conclusions Regarding the various manifestations of COVID-19, the possible association between dRTA and COVID-19 needs further investigation in children.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72549999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a 62-year-old male with type 2 diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, and hypertension presenting with fever and abdominal pain. CT (computerized tomography) of the abdomen revealed splenic and renal infarcts; further imaging with MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) revealed enhancements consistent with discitis in T5-6 and L1-2. Three sets of blood cultures were positive for S. hominis sensitive to methicillin on antimicrobial susceptibility tests, and echocardiogram showed posterior mitral valve vegetation. The patient was initially treated with 10 weeks of nafcillin IV (intravenous) 2 g q4 hours. He had recurrent bouts of S. hominis bacteremia that was treated with IV vancomycin. His clinical course was complicated by new-onset atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response and congestive heart failure. Once bacteremia was cleared, his infective endocarditis was successfully definitively treated with mitral valve replacement and tricuspid repair.","PeriodicalId":9608,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Infectious Diseases","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77000733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
