Necrotizing fasciitis: a rare complication of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis

Rare case of disseminated neonatal zygomycosis mimicking necrotizing enterocolitis with necrotizing fasciitis

“…This is the first report, which clearly demonstrates neonatal gastrointestinal zygomycosis followed by zygomycotic necrotic fasciitis of the abdominal wall. Necrotizing enterocolotis followed by NF is rare and carries a poor prognosis, requiring rapid and accurate diagnosis along with prompt, aggressive treatment [15]. One can arrive at the diagnosis of gastrointestinal zygomycosis, by retaining it in the differential diagnosis when dealing with cases of NEC affecting premature neonates.…”

Septicemia caused by Corynebacterium macginleyi: a rare form of extraocular infection

“…This case was presented in part at the 12th International Congress on Infectious Diseases, Lisbon, Portugal, June [15][16][17][18]2006.…”

“…Few invasive forms of Nocardia species have been reported in the literature. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] The case described herein is the first in the literature involving pulmonary N. cyriacigeorgica infection in an immunocompromised patient with Basedow-Graves disease. We also review the previously reported cases of N. cyriacigeorgica infections in humans.…”

Necrotizing fasciitis caused by group A Streptococcus with no apparent predisposing factors presenting as acute abdomen

“…14,15 In children, omphalitis and necrotizing enterocolitis are predisposing factors. 16,17 In our case, initial diagnosis was delayed because of the inflammatory process in the lower extremity, absence of significant skin erythema, and tissue crepitus, and this is a major point to learn from, which is that any pelvic pathology can extend to the lower extremity through the obturator foramen and make the presentation of an acute abdomen Septicemia caused by Corynebacterium macginleyi: a rare form of extraocular infection Non-diphtheria Corynebacterium species have emerged as nosocomial pathogens and cause diseases in risk populations, such as the immunocompromised and patients with indwelling medical devices. 1 Recognized cases of bacteremia with non-diphtheria Corynebacterium spp have become more prevalent.…”
