Unusual manifestations of acute Q fever: autoimmune hemolytic anemia and tubulointerstitial nephritis
Serdal KorkmazNazif ElaldiMansur KayatasMehmet SencanEsin Yildiz Fri, 18 May 2012 00:00:00 -0000
Q fever is a worldwide zoonotic infection that caused by Coxiella burnetii, a strictintracellular bacterium. It may be manifested by some of the autoimmune events and isclassified into acute and chronic forms. The most frequent clinical manifestation of acuteform is a self-limited febrile illness which is associated with severe headache, muscle ache,arthralgia and cough. Meningoencephalitis, thyroiditis, pericarditis, myocarditis, mesentericlymphadenopathy, hemolytic anemia, and nephritis are rare manifestations. Here we present acase of acute Q fever together with Coombs' positive autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA)and tubulointerstitial nephritis treated with chlarithromycin, steroids and hemodialysis.Clinicians should be aware of such rare manifestations of the disease.
Antibacterial activity of statins: a comparative study of Atorvastatin, Simvastatin, and Rosuvastatin

Background: Statins have several effects beyond their well-known antihyperlipidemic activity, whichinclude immunomodulatory, antioxidative and anticoagulant effects. In this study, we havetested the possible antimicrobial activity of statins against a range of standard bacterial strainsand bacterial clinical isolates. Methods: Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) values were evaluated and compared among threemembers of the statins drug (atorvastatin, simvastatin, and rosuvastatin). Results: It was revealed that statins are able to induce variable degrees of antibacterial activity withatorvastatin, and simvastatin being the more potent than rosuvastatin. Methicillin-sensitivestaphylococcus aureus (MSSA), methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA),vancomycin-susceptible enterococci (VSE), vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE),acinetobacter baumannii, staphylococcus epidermidis, and enterobacter aerogenes, weremore sensitive to both atorvastatin, and simvastatin compared to rosuvastatin. On the otherhand, escherichia coli, proteus mirabilis, and enterobacter cloacae were more sensitive toatorvastatin compared to both simvastatin and rosuvastatin. Furthermore, most clinicalisolates were less sensitive to statins compared to their corresponding standard strains. Conclusion: Our findings might raise the possibility of a potentially important antibacterial class effect forstatins especially, atorvastatin and simvastatin.
Miliary tuberculosis occurred after immunosuppressive drug in PNH patient with completely cured tuberculosis; a case report
Jihyun LeeSoojung GongByounghoon LeeSoyoung LeeJungae LeeNaeyoo Kim Thu, 03 May 2012 00:00:00 -0000
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a clonal disorder that presents with hemolytic anemia, marrow failure and thrombophilia. During acute attacks, corticosteroid can alleviate the hemolytic paroxysm, but the prolonged administration induces serious toxicity including immunosupporession. So American thoracic society (ATS) for tuberculosis (TB) recommends prophylactic anti-TB medication in patients with a long-term steroid therapy. However, in the patient who was treated for active TB in the past, there are no guidelines of the test for determining patients who have latent TB infection (LTBI) and no recommendations of TB prophylaxis if there is no evidence of reactivation at present. A 40-year-old male patient presented with fever and aggravated weakness for a week. He was diagnosed with PNH a month ago and took corticosteroid for 3 weeks. In the past, he was diagnosed with pulmonary TB and completely cured after treatment. According to guideline, he was not indicated with TB prophylaxis. However, he caught miliary TB, progressed to acute respiratory distress syndrome. We experience this embarrassing case, and emphasize the need to investigate multicentral TB prevalence and to make the guidelines of anti-TB medication in subgroups of hematologic diseases including PNH.
