“…This case report suggests that cancer patients with CRBSI might benefit from 18 F-FDG PET/CT for a timely evaluation of metastatic infection and optimal management. In accordance with previous studies suggesting the clinical value of 18 F-FDG PET/CT in patients with Gram-positive bacteremia [ 5 , 10 , 11 , 18 , 19 , 20 ], we believe that the benefit from 18 F-FDG PET/CT might be mediated by infective foci detection, earlier interventions to control infection, and the prolongation of antimicrobial treatment.…”

We describe a case of 18F-FDG PET/CT detecting septic pulmonary emboli in a patient with Staphylococcus aureus catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI). The patient, who had an implantable venous access port for chemotherapy, underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT to diagnose unsuspected infectious foci. The PET/CT examination made it possible to offer a suggestive diagnosis and yielded metastatic infectious foci.

Background: Septic deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities caused by foreign bodies is rare in the clinic, and the symptoms are serious. If the correct treatment is not implemented as soon as possible, the patient may progress to sepsis. Case presentation: We report the case of a 51-year-old normally healthy male who developed fever 3 days after field work. He was diagnosed with scrub typhus but did not respond well to anti-infective treatment. After a detailed inquiry of his medical history and an auxiliary examination, the diagnosis was confirmed as septic DVT of the left lower limb caused by a foreign body. After surgery, anticoagulation and anti-infection treatment, the infection and thrombosis were controlled, and the patient was cured and discharged. Conclusions: Early detection of the aetiology of sepsis and early adoption of the correct measures can effectively block the progression of the disease and reduce patients’ pain. Clinicians should identify the source of sepsis through a medical history and clinical examination.

“…It is important to point out that around 75% of the pathogen microorganisms causing infections are Gram-positive, and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus ) is the most common [4]. Moreover, this bacterium is primarily associated with complications of long-term catheterization, such as bloodstream infections with a high mortality rate [5].…”

Antibacterial extract-coated catheters are promising alternatives to their conventional counterparts, but their hemocompatibility and thermal stability must be studied. Nosocomial bacteria have developed resistance to conventional antibiotics. Herein, the minimum inhibitory but non-hemolytic concentration (MIC-NH) and the thermal stability of Larrea tridentata and Origanum vulgare extracts-coated catheters were studied. Besides, plasma pretreatment was performed to enhance the extract adhesion. Briefly, the extract-coated catheters prevent S. aureus colonization without causing hemolysis by using L. tridentata and O. vulgare extracts at MIC-NH (5000 and 2500 μg mL-1, respectively). Moreover, it has been discovered that the extract coating and plasma treatment improved the thermal stability and the extract adhesion, respectively. Thus, this study provides evidence of alternative antibacterial but non-hemolytic extract-coated catheters.
