“…Economists expected a sharp decline in the global GDP by 0.412% and major economies such as China 4.9%, Europe 0.8% and other 2.4% (Muhammad, 2020). Cherry (2017) believe that the global GDP growth rate will decline by 1.5% in 2020 due to the closure of industries and the "stay at home" measure.…”

“…It is recognised as an opportunistic pathogen with serious infection occurring predominantly in immunocompromised patients 2 3. As a mycoplasma species, it lacks a cell wall and thus cannot be gram-stained 4. Absence of a cell wall complicates treatment as the majority of antibiotics target cell wall synthesis.…”

Septic arthritis caused byMycoplasma hominisin a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus

Mycoplasma hominis is one of the most common commensal organisms of the genitourinary tract. Immunocompromised patients are susceptible to developing severe infections secondary to M. hominis, and rarely, septic arthritis. This case report describes the occurrence of septic arthritis secondary to M. hominis in a 27-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), who presented with a 2-week history of left elbow swelling and tenderness, elevated inflammatory markers and joint aspiration findings consistent with infection. Serial blood cultures were negative. She was treated with flucloxacillin; however, failed to respond and so doxycycline was added to cover for atypical organisms. Subsequently, PCR analysis from the joint aspirate found M. hominis on day 16. Fortunately, doxycycline was an effective treatment for this atypical organism. This case outlines the importance of considering atypical organisms such as M. hominis as a cause of septic arthritis in immunosuppressed patients especially those with SLE.

“…Aggregatibacter aphrophilus is a member of the HACEK group; a haemophilus species. It is a rare cause of infective endocarditis (IE), more commonly seen in patients with immunosuppression, congenital heart disease and trauma [ 1 ]. We present a case of a rapidly evolving catastrophic aortic root abscess following A. aphrophilus infection, initially suspected following progressive electrocardiogram (ECG) changes.…”

We present the case of a 25-year-old with a history of bicuspid aortic valve and ascending aortopathy who was successfully treated for infective endocarditis (IE) due to Aggregatibacter aphrophilus. His clinical course was complicated by a large aortic root abscess not initially visualised on transthoracic echocardiography or computerised tomography. The cardinal feature of progressive prolongation of the PR interval on serial electrocardiograms was the only sign associated with clinical deterioration and was the trigger for rapid investigation and urgent management. Our case emphasises the importance of simple bedside tests to identify dynamic clinical scenarios and the requirement for early further imaging in the management of IE.
