Abstract

Emphysematous pyelonephritis in patients with diabetes mellitus is increasingly recognised as a disease requiring urgent and aggressive treatment. We present 3 cases of emphysematous pyelonephritis; 1 patient required percutaneous nephrostomy followed by nephroureterectomy but the other 2 were successfully managed with antibiotics and control of diabetes. Diagnosis was confirmed by sequential imaging techniques which demonstrated an inflammatory renal mass associated with gas and fluid.

Serotype distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility of S. pneumoniae causing invasive disease in Thai children younger than 5 years old, 2000-2005.

In order to predict the potential benefit of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV), we evaluated the serotype coverage of the 7-, 9-, 11- and 13-valent PCV over the isolates causing invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in Thai children. One hundred and fifteen Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from sterile sites in children younger than 5 years old between 2000 and 2005 were serotyped. The coverages of 7-, 9-, 11-, and 13-valent PCV were 69%, 73.8%, 73.8% and 85.7% in children younger than 2 years, and 73.9%, 77.4%, 77.4% and 87.8% in children younger than 5 years of age, respectively. 69.6% and 22.6% of the isolates were non-susceptible to penicillin and cefotaxime. 7-valent PCV covered 89% and 100% of penicillin and cefotaxime non-susceptible isolates.

A nosocomial outbreak of Escherichia coli producing CTX-M-15 and OXA-30 beta-lactamase.

During a survey of the prevalent subtypes of extended-spectrum beta -lactamases in a university hospital in Korea, a nosocomial outbreak of Escherichia coli producing CTX-M-15 and OXA-30 beta -lactamases was detected. The outbreak comprised various infections, including bloodstream infections and colonization, and persisted for several months in various areas of the hospital.
