Severe sepsis caused by Mobiluncus curtisii subsp. curtisii in a previously healthy female: case report and review.

We present the case of a 54-year-old female with life-threatening septicaemia due to Mobiluncus curtisii subsp. curtisii. Her admission was complicated by septic shock, renal failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation, the adult respiratory distress syndrome and spontaneous splenic rupture. The patient survived with full intensive care support and intravenous ceftriaxone. Extra-genital infection with Mobiluncus species is rarely diagnosed and has been confined to breast abscesses and non-life-threatening bacteraemia. A review of extra-genital infections with Mobiluncus species is presented.

Two sisters with prenatal growth failure, disproportionate short stature, and feeding difficulties.

A familial short stature syndrome is described in two sisters. Clinical features include severe pre- and post-natal growth failure, stridor, feeding difficulties in the first 2 years requiring nasogastric feeding and facial dysmorphism reminiscent of Three M syndrome. Intellectual function is normal. Skeletal surveys show short long bones, small square iliac bones, short femoral necks and vertebral bodies which are short in the antero-posterior diameter with narrowing of the interpedicular distance inferiorly.
