Staphylococcus aureus cellulitis: an unusual presentation.
Staphylococcus aureus has long been known as one of the most virulent microbes, with capabilities that make it threatening in both nosocomial and community-acquired infections. It remains the most frequent cause of skin-structure and traumatic infections in the community. S. aureus infections in the maxillofacial region are likely to be associated with a known portal of entry, but this is not always the case. Once invasion occurs, the organism may produce virulent enzymes including coagulase, hyaluronidase, proteases, DNA-ase, lipases, hemolysins, and lysozyme as well as exotoxins. Markel et al point out that cellulitis associated with coagulase-positive staphylococci will often resolve without abscess formation. Hence, there is often no site from which to obtain specimens, making this infection a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. This report describes an infection in which the etiologic organism was identified as S. aureus. The source of the infection, however, remained unclear.

Angioedema associated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
A review of two cases of angioedema associated with therapeutic doses of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor enalapril are presented along with a review of the relevant literature. Although angioedema of the facial and oral pharyngeal regions is a relatively rare occurrence with the use of ACE inhibitors, recognition of these agents as the cause of such a condition, when subacute, can lead to a rapid cure. Knowledge of these effects may also be helpful in the management of an acute clinical manifestation and, as importantly, may help prevent a recurrent episode due to the ill-guided continuation of the drug.
