Out of 150 described candida species, 10% are known to cause infections in Humans. Candida albicans was the most common cause of invasive candidiasis but according to the CDC the total number of confirmed cases of candida Auris in the duration of (September 2020 -august 2021) total of 3043 in USA and become superbug and becomes emerging multidrug resistant infection. Candida Auris was first described in a Japanese patient in 2009, after being isolated from external ear canal. This species is associated mostly with hospital environment, where it can survive on different surfaces for long periods. C. Auris has been associated with multiple outbreaks throughout the world. It is multidrug resistant and is considered as one of the most serious emerging pathogens of public health importance. Candida Auris infection incidence is significantly higher in the patients with primary or acquired immunosuppression. It can cause infection in all age groups with, most of reported cases isolating Candida Auris from blood and other deep-seated site of injection. We presented the case report of infective endocarditis caused by candida Arius and helps to provide more awareness that earlier intervention might reduce mortality and morbidity.
Schwann cell tumors are benign tumors originating from Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system and are extremely rare in the gastrointestinal system. They usually originate in the colon or rectum but can also occur in the esophagus and small intestine. Their occurrence is rare in GI tract and mainly in the sigmoid colon. Schwann cell tumors have no association with any familial cancer syndromes. We present a 65-year-old female patient who underwent routine colon cancer screening. In addition to open mouth diverticulosis, she was found to have a 3 mm polyp, which was diagnosed as a Schwann cell hamartoma after a biopsy. This study aimed to present this rarely reported case in the literature as an example of a tumor that should be included in the differential diagnosis when considering submucosal colonic lesions. Though the reported reoccurrence rate is low, this case highlights the lack of published guidelines regarding appropriate follow-up surveillance periods.
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.
