“…1,2 When there is edema, it is secondary to a traumatic fissure of the cyst membrane or to a cystic infection. 3 Neither of these conditions was found in our patient. The presence of peripheral edema in our patient may have been related to the extremely large size of this cyst, resulting in increased local pressure, with mass effect causing vascular compression.…”

Background:The protoscoleces of fertile hydatid cysts are considered as major risks in surgery and producing secondary cysts if rupture the cyst during operation and, cause infecting the dogs with adult worm if eaten by this animal. Bacterial infection of the hydatid fluid can lead to sterilization of the cyst.Objectives:The aim of this study was to determine the bacterial infection rate of livestock hydatid cysts in Hamedan, Iran, and test the isolated bacteria effects on viable protoscoleces, in vitro.Materials and Methods:A total of 5709 slaughtered livestock were inspected to detect the presence of hydatid cysts. The hydatid fluid of all cysts was cultured separately to isolate and identify the bacteria. The effect of isolated bacteria was tested on viable protoscoleces in culture tubes, in vitro. The culture tubes were observed and examined under a light microscope every two hours for 24 hours, and then, after 36 and 48 hours.Results:Infected cysts were found in 74% of animals in Hamedan (46% were calcified and the bacteria was isolated from 52%) and 62% in Borujerd. The isolated bacteria in the infected cysts were as follows: Escherichia coli, E. blattae, Klebsiella pnoumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Enterobacter aerogenes, coagulase-positive and coagulase-negative Staphylococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Edwardsiella tarda. The protoscoleces incubated with the isolated bacteria totally degenerated, but 55% of the protoscoleces in the control groups were intact and viable even after one week.Conclusions:This study indicated a high percentage of cysts bacterial infections in two provinces of Iran. The common isolated bacteria were E. coli and Klebsiella. The isolated bacteria degenerated the protoscoleces during short-time incubation, in vitro.

Clostridium ramosum is an enteric anaerobic, endospore-forming, gram-positive rod with a low GC content that is rarely associated with disease in humans. We present a case of C. ramosum bacteraemia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of C. ramosum bacteraemia in an elderly patient presenting with fever, abdominal pain and bilious emesis. We highlight the Gram stain variability, the lack of visualization of spores and the atypical morphology of the colonies that showed C. ramosum in a polymicrobial presentation that initially appeared to show monomicrobial bacteraemia. The microorganism was rapidly identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). We present a comprehensive literature review of 32 cases of clinical infections by C. ramosum in which we describe, if available, sex, age, clinical symptoms, predisposing conditions, other organisms present in the blood culture, other samples with C. ramosum, identification methodology, treatment and outcome.

Secondary infection of intracranial hydatid cyst with Clostridium ramosum

Abstract: In this case report, we present a secondary infection of an intracranial hydatid cyst due to Clostridium ramosum, which is an extremely rare infectious pathogen in neurosurgical practice, and a potential pitfall in neuroradiological investigations.
