RESUMENGlobicatella sanguinis es un microorganismo patógeno poco común, coco Gram positivo y catalasa negativo, aunque se aísla en ganado ovino, ha sido descrito como agente infeccioso causante de meningitis en seres humanos. La primera descripción de este patógeno fue realizada por Collins y colaboradores en el año de 1992, se debe resaltar, que antes de este suceso, parte de los casos reportados como meningitis por S. viridans, pudieron ser causados en realidad por G. sanguinis debido a la falta de identificación de este ultimo y a la gran similitud en cuanto a morfología y resultados de pruebas bioquímicas. Al respecto, desde la descripción original hace 20 años, la información disponible de G. sanguinis es escasa. Se ha presentado un caso de meningitis asociada a G. sanguinis posterior a un procedimiento quirúrgico en un paciente de 1 año de edad en el Hospital Militar Central. Palabras claves: Globicatella sanguinis; meningitis bacteriana; bacteria Gram positivo; procedimiento quirúrgico. 59 Globicatella sanguinis: REPORT OF A CASE OF MENINGITIS IN THE CENTRAL MILITARY HOSPITALABSTRACT Globicatella sanguinis is a rare pathogenic microorganism Gram-positive cocci and catalase negative, which although is isolated in sheep, has been described as infectious agent causing meningitis in humans. The first description of this pathogen was made by Colins et al. in 1992, it's necessary to outline that before this event, part of the cases reported as a meningitis cause by S. viridans could actually be caused by G. sanguinis due to the lack of identification of these ones and the great similarity in terms of morphology and results of biochemical tests. However, after 20 years of the original description, the available information of G. sanguinis is limited. A case of meningitis associated with G. sanguinis following a surgical procedure has been reported in a 1-year-old patient at the Central Military Hospital.
ResumenLa arteria temporal superficial es particularmente vulnerable al trauma, debido a su largo trayecto en el cuero cabelludo y relativa vulnerabilidad, sin embargo, las fístulas arteriovenosas del cuero cabelludo son una patología infrecuente. Presentamos un caso de una paciente femenina quien, 2 años después de un trauma lacerante del cuero cabelludo, presenta una fístula arteriovenosa traumática de la arteria temporal superficial. La lesión es tratada de manera exitosa mediante la extirpación quirúrgica, se realiza una revisión de la literatura con respecto a la etiología, manifestaciones clínicas, patogenia, diagnóstico y su tratamiento.Palabras clave: arteria temporal superficial, fístula arteriovenosa, trauma. TRAUMATIC ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA OF THE SUPERFICIAL TEMPORAL ARTERY "RARE CASE" AbstractThe superficial temporal artery is particularly vulnerable to trauma because of its long journey throughout the scalp and relative vulnerability; however, the scalp arteriovenous fistulas are an uncommon finding. We report a case of a female patient who 2 years after a scalp wounding injury presents with a superficial temporal artery (STA) traumatic arteriovenous fistula (TAVF), treated successfully by surgical removal. We review the literature regarding the etiology, clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
