Sir, Unusual ultrasound biomicroscopy appearance after non-penetrating trabecular surgery with SK gel implant Case report We report a case of an unusual ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) appearance in a POAG patient at 15 months after receiving non-penetrating trabecular surgery (NPTS). A 37-year-old male received NPTS of the right eye for POAG in a local hospital 15 months ago. After the operation, the IOP was controlled under 15 mmHg. At 14 months, he experienced severe pain in the right eye and blurred vision. Upon examination, the IOP was 50 mmHg, the cornea had oedema, and the pupil was slightly displaced superiorly. After treatment with 20% mannitol, the IOP was controlled and corneal transparency recovered. The gonioscopy examination showed that the iris root adhered to the remanent membrane of NPTS areas. Therefore, a laser iridectomy was performed and 0.005% latanoprost was administered daily, reducing the IOP to 20 mmHg. The patient then arrived at our hospital for further treatment. Our examination results were as follows: IOP 19.5 mmHg, the bleb of right eye was pale and had a thin wall with darkening of the subconjunctival area, and the pupil decentered. The gonioscopy result showed that the iris root had adhered to the surgical area. The UBM picture is shown in Figure 1. Comment Based on the case history and examination results, we believe that after NPTS, the sudden break of the residual membrane at the operation area resulted in the pressure difference between the upper and lower surface of iris. Figure 1 Unusual UBM appearance of bleb and iris after NPTS.

“…C freundii is generally much more resistant to antimicrobial agents than C koseri and Citrobacter amalonaticus . The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of various antimicrobial agents for C freundii are higher than those for C koseri 4 . C freundii isolates have recently been reported to express resistance to anti-pseudomonal penicillins, first, second and third generation cephalosporins, gentamicin, tobramycin and aztreonam 5.…”

Multidrug resistant citrobacter: an unusual cause of liver abscess

Liver abscesses are infectious, space occupying lesions in the liver, the two most common abscesses being pyogenic and amoebic. A pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a rare condition with a reported incidence of 20 per 100 000 hospital admissions in the western population. The right lobe of the liver is the most common site in both types of liver abscess. Clinical presentation is elusive with complaints of fever, right upper quadrant pain in the abdomen and hepatomegaly with or without jaundice. The aetiology of PLA has changed in the past few decades and may be of biliary, portal, arterial or traumatic origin, but many cases are still cryptogenic. The most common organisms causing PLA are Gram-negative aerobes, especiallyEscherichia coliandKlebsiella pneumoniae. Studies have shown a high degree of antimicrobial susceptibility of isolated organism resulting in an overall lower mortality in PLA. Here, we present a case of PLA caused by multidrug-resistantCitrobacter freundii, which is an unusual organism to be isolated.

“… C. freundii is a pathogen of the respiratory and urinary tracts as well as the blood, and it is the cause of many opportunistic infections ( 2 ). The development of antibiotic resistance among strains of C. freundii underscores the need for alternative strategies, such as bacteriophage therapy, to fight the infections caused by this pathogenic bacterium ( 3 – 5 ). To that end, bacteriophage Moon, a T4-like myophage, was isolated against C. freundii .…”
