ABSTRACT.Purpose: To report photographic findings from a case of acute macular neuroretinopathy. Methods: Fundus photography on color transparencies, red-free digital CCDrecording, and laser-scanning ophthalmoscopy with monochromatic red and blue illumination. Results: The visibility of the retinal lesions was markedly enhanced by narrowing the illumination bandwidth and by the stray light suppression of the confocal laser scanning ophthalmoscope. Conclusions: The diagnosis of acute macular neuroretinopathy, and possibly other chorioretinal diseases as well, can be facilitated by multispectral imaging and stray-light reduction optics.
We describe a patient with perforated appendicitis who postoperatively suffered repeated episodes of shaking chills and temperature spikes. Initial blood cultures yielded growth of Flavobacterium meningosepticum, Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas paucimobilis, and succeeding blood cultures growth of Pseudomonas acidoverans. These bacteria in combination led to a suspicion of self‐inoculation of contaminated water through an intravenous catheter. Antibiotic treatment had no effect on the symptoms, which only ceased when the intravenous catheter was removed.
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.
