Cure of brain abscess caused by Nocardia asteroides resistant to multiple antibiotics.

A 29-year-old man with pulmonary infiltrates due to pulmonary alveolar proteinosis had Nocardia asteroides pneumonia and brain abscess. The nocardial infections persisted after therapy with sulfonamides, minocycline, and cefotaxime. Based on the susceptibility studies and serum antibiotic concentrations, he was treated with minocycline, 400 to 600 mg daily, cefotaxime, 12 to 30 gm daily, and probenecid for 15 months. Proteinuria observed near the completion of therapy was transient. Three years after therapy, the infections appear to have been cured.

Hyposplenism and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in fulminant pneumococcal sepsis.

A case of pneumococcal sepsis with DIC is reported. The patient had hyposplenism from thorium dioxide administration 23 years previously. Evidences of consumptive coagulopathy were verified by clinical manifestations of shock, generalized petechiae, abnormal hemostatic studies, and autopsy findings. The possible pathogenetic mechanism(s) of DIC in hyposplenism and pneumococcemia are reviewed.
