Chryseomonas luteola: an unusual clinical infection mimicking a mediastinal malignant lymphoma

Abstract

Chryseomonas luteola is an infrequent human pathogen. We describe a case of mediastinal location showing Splendore-Hoeppli phenomenon in the abscess clinically mimicking a malignant lymphoma.

Pseudomonas Luteola Infection: First Case Report of Urinary Tract Infection and Review of Literature

“…According to our research on Pub Med from 1980 until November 2020, we found only 19 cases of P. luteola's infection in adults. A summary of main features of these cases is put in Table 1 [1,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. This [9,18,19], peritonitis [10,11], biliary tract infection [17], endophtalmitis [20,21] and cutaneous infection [5,7,8,12,14].…”

Post-surgical Gangrene with Pseudomonas luteola Resulting in Limb Amputation: A Case Review

“…This drug combination was also chosen due to the fact that P. luteola tends to present with septicemia [ 5 ]. Furthermore, Imipenem was chosen as an appropriate empiric drug, despite our isolate resistance to it, as generally from the preliminary panel, P. luteola tends to be sensitive to Imipenem.…”

“…P. luteola has clinical significance as it has been implicated in a variety of life-threatening infections such as: endocarditis, peritonitis, meningitis, septicemia and brain abscesses [ 2 - 4 ]. Moreover, it has also been diagnosed as the causal factor in less common infections such as: endophthalmitis, mediastinal botryomycosis and osteomyelitis [ 5 - 7 ].…”

Bacteremia Caused by Pseudomonas luteola in Pediatric Patients

“…In a study from Tanzania that investigated extended spectrum beta-lactamases among gram-negative bacteria of nosocomial origin, P. luteola was reported as a nosocomial pathogen in 1 patient in an intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital (4). In this study, we reviewed all cases of infection related to P. luteola from 1988 to date (Table 4) (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24). Of the reported cases of P. luteola, bacteremia was the most common infection.…”
