Eggerthella lenta is a normal human microflora that is anaerobic, non-sporulating, and Gram positive. However, an increasing number of studies have shown that it could also be an important pathogen for humans, even causing life-threatening infection under certain conditions. However, understanding its pathogenic mechanism and treatment options still need to be improved; more clinical data are needed to explore it further. In this article, we report a case of ceftizoxime-cured E. lenta bacteremia and review the recent literature to provide more clinical data for the diagnosis of E. lenta bacteremia. Our report suggests that the frequency of E. lenta bacteremia is increased in patients with hematologic or solid organ cancer, diabetes mellitus and also in those with appendicitis.
Introduction: To investigate the gene rearrangement and mutation of lymphoma biomarkers including (Immunoglobulin H (IgH), Immunoglobulin kappa (IGK), Immunoglobulin lambda (IGL), and TCR) in the lymphoma diagnosis. Methods and analysis: Paraffin tissue samples from 240 cases diagnosed as suspected lymphoma in the department of pathology, Deyang City People's Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021 will be enrolled. Deoxyribonucleic acid extraction and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplification will be performed in these paraffin tissue samples. Immunoglobulin and T cell receptor (TCR) rearrangement will be analyzed by hetero-double chain gel electrophoresis and BioMed-2 standardized immunoglobulin gene rearrangement detection system. In this study protocol IGH gene rearrangement, IGK gene rearrangement, both IGH and IGL gene rearrangement, both IGH and IGK gene rearrangement, both IGK and IGL gene rearrangement, both IGH, IGK and IGL gene rearrangement, TCR gene rearrangement and positive Ig/TCR rearrangement will be analyzed. Discussion: In this study, we will use B and T cell lymphoma analysis focusing on IgH, IGK, IGL, and TCR gene rearrangement, so as to provide early guidance for the diagnosis of lymphoma. Second generation sequencing technology is helpful in the differential diagnosis of lymphoma. Trial registration: Chinese Clinical trial registry: ChiCTR2000032366.
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.
