The genus Acinetobacter comprises a heterogenous group of bacterias that are mostly pandrug resistant and implicated in variety of nosocomial infections. Acinetobacter junii is a rare human pathogen and is mainly associated with blood stream infections in paediatric oncology patients. We report a rare case of pleural effusion caused by A. junii in a known pulmonary tuberculosis patient who was on cat-1 antitubercular treatment.
Candida infection of salivary gland is extremely rare and a submandibular gland infection with Candida dubliniensis in an immunocompetent patient has, to the best of our knowledge, never been described before. Diagnosis was based on isolation of Candida dubliniensis in pure culture from abscess pus. Combination of a local drainage and intravenous fluconazole proved to be an efficient therapeutic strategy.
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.
