Patient #64 Summary and Discussion Yvonne Kew, M.D., Ph.D. Diagnosis: Klebsiella pneumoniae brain abscesses, with purulent meningoencephalitis, in a Patas monkey ( Erythrocebus patas CASE DISCUSSION: About the Case: Klebsiella pneumonia, or other predisposition to cerebral abscess formation such as a valvular vegetation or pulmonary arteriovenous fistula, was found at necropsy. Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections of the Primate CNS: Klebsiella pneumoniae is not unusual in human neonates and infants, brain abscess formation is quite uncommon in these age groups (Basu et al., 2001). In contrast, Klebsiella pneumoniae infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in captive-bred, apparently immunocompetent nonhuman primates, even beyond the period of infancy. In some colonies, infection by Klebsiella pneumoniae is the leading cause of death (Postal et al., 1988). Transmission of organisms is believed to occur predominantly via fecal-oral routes, and colonization is believed to occur well before deep invasion of organisms in many cases (e.g., Kolodynski et al., 1989). Due to the substantial interest in maintaining healthy nonhuman primate colonies for zoological research, and for animal models of numerous human disorders, a capsular polysaccharide vaccine has been developed (e.g., Postal et al., 1988). Unfortunately, multidrug antibiotic resistance is common in organisms isolated from colonies of nonhuman primates, and the mortality associated with established

COMPLICATIONS OF SINUSITIS July 13, 1995 Carla M. Giannoni, M.D. Orbital complications Sinonasal disease accounts for the majority of orbital infections (up to 85%). Ethmoid sinuses are almost always implicated in orbital disease; maxillary and frontal sinuses may also be involved. Spread may be direct with erosion of the lamina or through a prior fracture or by thrombophlebitic spread into the orbit. Orbital complications as staged by Chandler (1970) are: preseptal cellulitis, orbital cellulitis, subperiosteal abscess, orbital abscess, and cavernous sinus thrombosis (dural thrombophlebitis). Preseptal cellulitis is an inflammation and infection of the eyelids, outside the orbital septum. Orbital cellulitis is a diffuse infiltration of bacteria and inflammatory cells in the orbit. A subperiosteal abscess is a collection of pus between the periorbita and the bony orbit walls. Orbital abscess refers to a discrete collection of pus within the orbital tissues; systemic symptoms are common and orbital apex syndrome may occur. Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a late stage and highly morbid disease. Infection is spread posteriorly through the venous channels; patients have proptosis, ophthalmoplegia, decreased visual acuity, paplliedema, dilated pupil, mental status decline, and superior orbital fissure syndrome; bilateral symptoms herald this entity.

Causes and Risks A brain abscess is usually caused when bacteria such as staphylococci and streptococci infect part of the brain. In response to the infection, there is inflammation and death of some of the tissues in the brain. Fluid, destroyed tissue cells, white blood cells, and live and dead microorganisms collect and form a mass. This mass usually becomes enclosed by a membrane that forms around it. The brain swells in response to the inflammation, and the mass may put pressure on the the brain. Infected material can block the blood vessels of the brain, further damaging brain tissues. The pressure within the brain rises, causing more damage and problems.

Prevention Brain abscess Definition: A brain abscess is a mass of immune cells, pus, and other material that can occur when the brain is infected by bacteria or fungus. Alternative Names: Abscess - brain; Cerebral abscess; CNS abscess Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Brain abscesses commonly occur when bacteria or fungi infect part of the brain. Inflammation develops in response. Infected brain cells, white blood cells, and live and dead microorganisms collect in a limited area of the brain. This area becomes enclosed by a membrane that forms around it and creates a mass. While this immune response can protect the brain by isolating the infection, it can also do more harm than good. The brain swells in response to the inflammation, and the mass may put pressure on delicate brain tissue. Infected material can block the blood vessels of the brain, further damaging tissues by causing cell death and swelling of additional cells. Multiple abcesses are uncommon except in immunocompromised patients.

UNCOMMON COMPLICATIONS CHAPTER CONTENTS General Complications Local complications Complications of associated colon lesions Iatrogenic complications The complications of an amoebic liver abscess can be so widespread that it can involve any part of the body. The following complications are encountered less often than those which have already been discussed. Evidently the surgeons and pathologists are more familiar with the rare type of complications. Involvement of organs distant from the liver, beyond doubt, is due to the blood-borne infection. Such a distribution does not follow any set pattern as regards the frequency, site, number of lesions and their severity. Post-mortem studies have enlightened us to a great extent as to the site, number and frequency of the rare types of the lesions. The complications of an amoebic liver abscess can be divided into AA) General complications (B) Local complications.

MRI Technique For Measuring Blood Volume Helps Distinguish Between Abscesses And Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI allows physicians to differentiatebetween cerebral abscesses—inflamed areas in the brain caused by infection—and http://www.innovations-report.de/html/berichte/medizin_gesundheit/bericht-35923.

Weitere Förderer des Forums Content Partner des Forums Medizin Gesundheit American Roentgen Ray Society MRI Technique for Measuring Blood Volume Helps Distinguish Between Abscesses and Tumors in the Brain Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI allows physicians to differentiate between cerebral abscesses—inflamed areas in the brain caused by infection—and malignant brain tumors without surgery, says a new preliminary study by researchers from Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC. For the study, the researchers analyzed eight patients who underwent DSC MRI—four with cerebral abscesses and four with malignant brain tumors. DSC MRI is used to measure blood volume in brain tumors. Malignant brain tumors have high blood volume because they need new blood vessels in order to grow, while abscesses have the same blood volume as healthy tissue. On analyzing maps produced by DSC MRI of cerebral blood volume in these eight patients, the researchers found no overlap in the blood volume between the group of abscesses and the group of tumors . According to the researchers, DSC MRI and traditional MRI are fundamentally different in the types of information they provide. “Regular MRI scans show the size and shape of a muscle or organ very well, but they don’t tell us much about how it is functioning. As we get more sophisticated in imaging organs, we want to know more than simply their size and the shape. DSC MRI gives us that additional necessary information, letting us know the vascular needs of the tissue ,” said James M. Provenzale, MD, one of the authors of the study.
