@pgMedicine C. L. pneumophila

[@microstories @kakule06]

@pgMedicine Typically Tularemia case 🐰,

infectious agent: Francisella tularensis

[@microstories @kakule06]

@pgMedicine B. Staphylococcus aureus.

Influenza followed by rapidly progressive necrotizing pneumonia is classically caused by Staphylococcus aureus (especially PVL-producing CA-MRSA).

[@microstories @kakule06]

@pgMedicine A. Mycoplasma pneumoniae atypical pneumonia

[@microstories @kakule06]

@MayoClinicINFD B. GBS

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS): An autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system attacks the peripheral nerves, often following an infection.
Campylobacter jejuni: A common bacterial cause of gastroenteritis, often associated with abdominal cramps and bloody diarrhea

[@microstories @kakule06]

@ParasiteGal Disseminated Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection syndrome

[@microstories @kakule06]

@MayoClinicINFD C- ‘S. aureus bacteremia’ is strongly associated with metastatic infections, including infective endocarditis, vertebral osteomyelitis, and septic arthritis. Therefore, patients with S. aureus bloodstream infection generally require echocardiography to evaluate for endocarditis.

[@microstories @kakule06]

@MayoClinicINFD B- Cerebral Toxoplasmosis

[@microstories @kakule06]

@MicroLukas Other bacteria? Brucella, Klebsiella, Pseudomanas, etc. Aren’t they urease positive?

[@microstories @kakule06]

@ParasiteGal Nematomorphs (Horsehair worms) or Gordian worms, parasitize insects as larvae and live free in water as adults which are non-pathogenic to humans but often cause alarm when found in toilets or water.

[@microstories @kakule06]

@ParasiteGal Giardia intestinalis

[@microstories @kakule06]

@MicroLukas The bacterium is Legionella, which causes legionellosis (a type of pneumonia) and can thrive in warm, poorly maintained, or recirculated onsen water. The parasite is often Acanthamoeba spp., which can cause rare but severe skin infections or encephalitis in warm.

@MicroLukas The Rhesus monkeys that living in Morgan Island (aka Monkey Island) off South Carolina. 🐵🐒

[@microstories @kakule06]

@ParasiteGal Diagnosis: Brugia malayi

Identification: Sheathed microfilaria with nuclei bunch at the tail.

[@microstories @kakule06]

@MicroLukas Oropouche virus; RNA virus in the Peribunyaviridae family, transmitted mainly by the biting midge Culicoides paraensis in tropical areas of South America and the Amazon basin and it causes Oropouche fever; an acute febrile illness characterized by fever, headache, myalgia.

[@microstories @kakule06]

@drkeithsiau Is patient diagnosed ‘Schistosomiasis’ in this case? Is there microscopically analyse result (for egg examination)?

[@microstories @kakule06]

@ParasiteGal Raw crab or shrimp consumption may transmit parasites such as Paragonimiasis (from freshwater crab), Gnathostomiasis (from raw freshwater seafood), and Anisakiasis (from marine raw seafood).

@NEJM E. STRF

Recurrant fever pattern, travel to an endemic area, and visualization of spirochetes (Corkscrew-shaped spirochetes) on peripheral smear are most consistent with soft tick relapsing fever caused by Borrelia hermsii.

@MayoClinicINFD Invasive Fusariosis (Fusarium sp.)
