“…Septic arthritis or synovitis appears as common clinical outcome of exogenous infection with Pantoea agglomerans [4,5,12,13]. Others include endophthalmitis [14][15][16], acute peculiar bilateral dacryocystitis [17], and periostitis [18]. More frequently, it is found as an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised patients, with wound infections, sepsis and urinary tract infections, endocarditis in patients with valvular heart disease, pneumonia post-lung transplant [19], or in patients with chronic renal insufficiency.…”

A Case of Nosocomial Outbreak of Pantoea agglomerans Related to Parenteral Nutrition Procedures

Pantoea agglomerans is a Gram-negative bacterium that infrequently infects humans. Most reports involving it are about infections in soft tissues or bone/joint infections caused by contamination from soil or penetrating trauma by vegetation, such as thorns and splinters. More frequently, it is found as an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised patients. It is not rare to find reports of bacteremia and sepsis from contamination of intravenous fluid, parenteral nutrition, blood products and anesthetic agents—that is, through contamination of medical devices and products. We reported a bacterial infection epidemic occurred in 2011 in a hospital in middle Italy which involved different hospital wards; Pantoea agglomerans was isolated from blood cultures of all infected patients and the source of infection was identified in contaminated parenteral nutrition prepared from the local pharmacy.

“…Some Pantoea agglomerans infections associated with hospitalization were defined as sporadic-endogenous-spontaneous infections, as it was not possible to document the source of the germs, and most of the infections were related to a decline in the patient's immune conditions and/or to hospital procedures [17,[31][32][33][34].…”

“…The species of the genus Pantoea can be isolated from plants, water, and soil. Also they have been isolated routinely from Until now, case reports of infections due to P. agglomerans have been reported such as bacteremia in febrile neutropenic patients [4,5], peritonitis in a peritoneal dialysis patient [6], dacryocystitis [7], septic arthritis [8], and wound infections in patients with traumatic injuries [9]. Also an outbreak of P. agglomerans which presented as sepsis in a pediatric urgent care center was formerly reported [10].…”

“…Prompt and effective treatment modalities, based on etiology, are very important to prevent the recurrence and incidence of serious complications as listed above. Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction, traumatic obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct, and the presence of a lacrimal foreign body have been reported as major causes of PAD . Application of systemic antibiotics and lacrimal probing are the primary treatments for PAD …”

Importance This is the first retrospective study of the effect of computed tomography (CT) in diagnosis and surgical correction of recurrent pediatric acute dacryocystitis (PAD). Objective To explore the pathogenesis of recurrent PAD and the impact of CT in guidance of surgical planning. Methods Medical histories, clinical manifestations, and CT results of 10 patients with recurrent PAD were reviewed. Etiologies and treatment effectiveness were recorded for all patients. Results CT revealed that three patients had congenital dacryocystocele with lacrimal sac cyst, enlargement of the nasolacrimal canal, and intranasal cyst of affected sides. After regression of local inflammation, marsupialization was performed. CT showed that four patients had PAD secondary to congenital nasolacrimal canal dysplasia; these patients exhibited normal upper portions of the nasolacrimal canals, but had stenotic or atretic middle and terminal segments. After improvement of local inflammation, endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy was performed. Three patients had PAD secondary to congenital lacrimal sac diverticulum; after contrast injection, CT showed that the cysts at the lacrimal sac area were filled with contrast, and were connected to the normal lacrimal sac. After the topical infection was controlled, transcutaneous dacryocystorhinostomy was performed in combination with excision of the lacrimal sac diverticulum. No recurrence of PAD was detected at 6‐month follow‐up. Interpretation Causes of PAD include congenital dacryocystocele, congenital lacrimal sac diverticulum, or congenital nasolacrimal canal dysplasia. Marsupialization with endoscope, endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy, and transcutaneous dacryocystorhinostomy constitute distinct surgeries for PAD treatment. CT provides an important diagnostic function and facilitates selection of specific surgical approaches for recurrent PAD.
