99mTc-PEG liposomes for the scintigraphic detection of infection and inflammation: clinical evaluation. (1/29)
Polyethyleneglycol (PEG) liposomes have been shown to be excellent vehicles for scintigraphic imaging of infection and inflammation in various experimental models. In this article we report on a series of patients with possible infectious and inflammatory disease in whom the performance of 99mTc-PEG liposomes was evaluated. The results of 99mTc-PEG liposome scintigraphy were directly compared with those of 111In-immunoglobulin G (IgG) scintigraphy. METHODS: Thirty-five patients (22 men, 13 women; mean age, 51 y; range, 20-76 y), suspected of having infectious or inflammatory disease, received 740 MBq 99mTc-PEG liposomes intravenously. Imaging was performed at 4 and 24 h after injection. Patients received 75 MBq 111In-IgG 24 h after administration of the liposomes. The scintigraphic results were compared and verified by culture, biopsy, surgery, and follow-up of at least 6 mo. RESULTS: Of the 16 proven infections and inflammations, 15 were detected by 99mTc-PEG liposome scintigraphy: soft-tissue infection (n = 3), septic arthritis (n = 3), autoimmune polyarthritis (n = 2), infected hip prosthesis (n = 1), infected osteosynthesis (n = 1), spondylodiscitis (n = 1), infected aortic prosthesis (n = 1), colitis (n = 1), abdominal abscess (n = 1), and pneumonia (n = 1). 99mTc-PEG liposome and 111In-IgG scintigraphy both missed 1 case of endocarditis. In addition, an 111In-IgG scan of a patient with mild soft-tissue infection was false-negative. Concordantly false-positive scans were recorded from 2 patients, both with uninfected pseudarthrosis and focal signs of sterile inflammation. During liposomal administration, 1 patient experienced flushing and chest tightness, which rapidly disappeared after lowering the infusion rate. No other adverse events were observed. CONCLUSION: This clinical evaluation of 99mTc-PEG liposomes shows that focal infection and inflammation can be adequately imaged with this new agent. The performance of 99mTc-PEG liposomes is at least as effective as that of 111In-IgG. With the simple and safe preparation and the physical and logistic advantages of a 99mTc label, 99mTc-PEG liposomes could be an attractive agent for infection or inflammation imaging. (+info)Nontyphoidal salmonellosis. (2/29)
Nontyphoidal Salmonella are important foodborne pathogens that cause gastroenteritis, bacteremia, and subsequent focal infection. These hardy bacteria are especially problematic in a wide variety of immunocompromised individuals, including (but not limited to) patients with malignancy, human immunodeficiency virus, or diabetes, and those receiving corticosteroid therapy or treatment with other immunotherapy agents. Endovascular infection and deep bone or visceral abscesses are important complications that may be difficult to treat. The site of infection and the individual's immune status influence treatment choices. The harbingers of resistance of nontyphoidal Salmonella to both fluoroquinolones and third-generation cephalosporins have been reported recently, and such resistance is likely to be a therapeutic problem in the future. The current report presents a brief overview of the problems and trends associated with salmonellosis that are of interest to the infectious diseases clinician. (+info)Focal neurological disease in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. (3/29)
Focal neurological disease in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome may be caused by various opportunistic pathogens and malignancies, including Toxoplasma gondii, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Epstein-Barr virus-related primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. Diagnosis may be difficult, because the findings of lumbar puncture, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging are relatively nonspecific. Newer techniques have led to improved diagnostic accuracy of these conditions. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of cerebrospinal fluid specimens is useful for diagnosis of PML, CNS lymphoma, and CMV encephalitis. Recent studies have indicated the diagnostic utility of new neuroimaging techniques, such as single-photon emission CT and positron emission tomography. The combination of PCR and neuroimaging techniques may obviate the need for brain biopsy in selected cases. However, stereotactic brain biopsy, which is associated with relatively low morbidity rates, remains the reference standard for diagnosis. Highly active antiretroviral therapy has improved the prognosis of several focal CNS processes, most notably toxoplasmosis, PML, and CMV encephalitis. (+info)Immunizations with pneumococcal surface protein A and pneumolysin are protective against pneumonia in a murine model of pulmonary infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae. (4/29)
Intranasal infection of mice with certain strains of capsular group 19 Streptococcus pneumoniae can result in focal pneumonia in the absence of bacteremia. Using this model of murine pneumonia, we demonstrated that immunization with recombinant forms of either pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA) or PdB (a genetically detoxified derivative of pneumolysin) elicited significant protection against focal pulmonary infection. This may be the first demonstration that a proposed vaccine antigen can protect against pneumococcal pneumonia. The best protection was obtained by immunizing mice with a mixture of PspA and PdB, indicating that the protection elicited by these antigens can complement each other. This result is in agreement with previous studies that used pneumococcal sepsis and nasal colonization models and demonstrate that the best protein vaccines for prevention of infection may be those that include more than one protection-eliciting pneumococcal protein. (+info)Changes in occurrence of capsular serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae at Boston City Hospital during selected years between 1935 and 1974. (5/29)
The number of patients with pneumococcal bacteremia, empyema, and meningitis at Boston City Hospital during selected years between 1935 and 1974 is reported. The distribution of specific types in the bacteremic patients during each of the selected years and in the various focal infections in all the years is also detailed. The numbers and rates per 1,000 admissions of bacteremic pneumococcal infections and the numbers of cases of pneumococcal meningitis and empyema varied independently over these years and differed from those previously reported for 1929 to 1936. The types most frequent in pneumococcal bacteremias varied over the years, and the distribution of types among them differed markedly from that among the patients with focal infections. Variations in the distribution of pneumococcal types at different times in the same place, in different places, and in various sites of infection may be important in selecting types to include in pneumococcal vaccines for different populations. (+info)Follow-up of 452 totally implantable vascular devices in cystic fibrosis patients. (6/29)
The use and complications of totally implantable vascular access devices (TIVADs) were examined during multiple courses of antibiotics in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. This retrospective study involved 36 CF centres. Risk factors for removal and septicaemia were sought by survival analysis of censored data. Multivariate Cox models were constructed with removal or septicaemia as the event and the characteristics of TIVADs as explanatory variables. TIVADs (n = 452) were implanted in 315 patients. The mean functional time per device was 32 +/- 25 months. Long-term complications occurred with 188 devices (42%); they consisted mainly of occlusion (21%, requiring removal in 77%), infection (9.3%, requiring removal in 851%; septicaemia in 7.3%; rate 0.3 per 1,000 days, Candida in 66%), and vascular thrombosis (4.7%, removal in 58%). Multivariate survival analysis showed that removal, whatever the reason, was associated with polyurethane (versus silicone) and routine use of the device for blood sampling (versus never). No risk factors, including heparin lock, were identified for septicaemia or for removal for obstruction. Totally implantable venous access devices appear to be safe and reliable for long-term intermittent venous access. Although retrospective, this study suggests that the characteristics of the material and blood sampling are risk factors for removal. (+info)Effective duration of antimicrobial therapy for the treatment of acute lobar nephronia. (7/29)
OBJECTIVE: Effective treatment of acute lobar nephronia (ALN) can prevent its progression to renal abscess. The goal of this prospective study was to compare the treatment efficacy for pediatric patients who had ALN with a 3- vs 2-week intravenous plus oral antimicrobial-therapy regimen. METHODS: Patients who were suspected of having an upper urinary tract infection underwent a systematic scheme of ultrasonographic and computed tomographic (CT) evaluation for ALN diagnosis. Patients with positive CT findings were enrolled and randomly allocated with serial entry for either a total 2-week or a 3-week antibiotic treatment regimen. Antibiotics were changed from an intravenous form to an oral form 2 to 3 days after defervescence of fever. Follow-up clinical evaluations and urine-culture analyses were performed 3 to 7 days after cessation of antibiotic treatment. Patients with persistent infection or relapse were considered as treatment failures. RESULTS: A total of 80 patients with ALN were enrolled. Forty-one patients were treated with a 2-week antimicrobial protocol, and the other 39 patients were treated with a 3-week course. Seven treatment failures, 1 persistent infection, and 6 infection relapses were identified, all of which were in the 2-week treatment group. Prolonged fever before admission and positive Escherichia coli growth (>10(5) colony-forming units per mL) in urine culture were noted as risk factors for treatment failure. All treatment failures were managed successfully with an additional 10-day antibiotic course. CONCLUSION: A total of 3 weeks of intravenous and oral antibiotic therapy tailored to the pathogen noted in cultures should be the treatment of choice for pediatric patients with ALN. (+info)Acute focal nephritis: its true sonographic face. (8/29)
BACKGROUND: Acute focal nephritis is an inflammatory process of the renal parenchyma affecting principally the cortex of the kidney. It is considered a midpoint in the spectrum of upper urinary tract infections, ranging from uncomplicated pyelonephritis to intrarenal abscesses. Until recently the hyperechoic sonographic appearance of this lesion was considered uncommon. OBJECTIVES: To determine the relative prevalence of hyperechoic and hypoechoic sonographic appearance of focal renal lesions in patients with the clinical diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis and to correlate the findings with those of the color Doppler examinations. METHODS: We reviewed the sonograms of 367 patients hospitalized with the clinical diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis. The sonograms were reviewed for acute renal inflammatory changes. When a focal lesion was detected, we noted the echogenicity, side, form, location and color Doppler characteristics. RESULTS: Abnormal sonographic findings related to the infection were found in 78 cases. In 52 patients a focal lesion was diagnosed. Forty-seven focal lesions appeared hyperechoic related to the adjacent parenchyma. These lesions were more frequently located at the upper pole and were wedge-shaped in most of the cases. The areas appeared hypo/avascular on the color Doppler examination. CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that the most common appearance of acute focal nephritis is an area of increased echogenicity in the parenchyma of the affected kidney. (+info)A focal infection is a localized infection that can potentially lead to the development of systemic infectious or non-infectious diseases once it spreads to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
A focal infection is a localized infection that can serve as a focus for the development of secondary systemic infections or diseases elsewhere in the body. The infection is typically caused by a bacterium, virus, or fungus and can occur in any organ or tissue.
The theory of focal infection suggests that microorganisms can spread from the initial site of infection to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, leading to further complications and illnesses. This concept was widely accepted and studied in the early 20th century but has since been largely replaced by more modern understandings of infectious disease processes.
Nonetheless, the term "focal infection" is still used in medical contexts to describe localized infections that may have systemic consequences or require specific treatment to prevent further spread and complications. Examples of focal infections include dental abscesses, lung infections, and urinary tract infections.
A focal infection in dentistry refers to the localized spread of oral microorganisms or their byproducts from a focus, typically a dental pulp infection or periodontal disease, to distant sites in the body, potentially leading to systemic diseases or exacerbation of existing medical conditions.
A focal infection is a focus or source of infection that can spread and cause harm to other parts of the body. A "focal infection, dental" refers to an infection that originates in the teeth or surrounding tissues of the mouth and then spreads to other parts of the body. This can occur when bacteria or other pathogens from a dental infection enter the bloodstream and travel to distant sites, where they can cause inflammation, tissue damage, and illness.
Dental focal infections can be caused by various conditions, such as tooth decay, periodontal disease, abscesses, or other oral infections. The bacteria involved in dental infections are often part of the normal oral flora but can become pathogenic under certain circumstances, such as when they gain access to deeper tissues or the bloodstream due to trauma, surgery, or poor oral hygiene.
If left untreated, dental focal infections can lead to serious health complications, including heart disease, brain abscesses, and other systemic infections. It is essential to maintain good oral hygiene and seek professional dental care to prevent and treat dental infections, reducing the risk of developing focal infections and related health issues.
Indium radioisotopes are unstable isotopes of the element indium that emit radiation, often used in medical imaging and therapeutic applications such as bone scans, tumor detection, and treatment of certain conditions like polycythemia vera.
Indium radioisotopes refer to specific types of radioactive indium atoms, which are unstable and emit radiation as they decay. Indium is a chemical element with the symbol In and atomic number 49. Its radioisotopes are often used in medical imaging and therapy due to their unique properties.
For instance, one commonly used indium radioisotope is Indium-111 (^111In), which has a half-life of approximately 2.8 days. It emits gamma rays, making it useful for diagnostic imaging techniques such as single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). In clinical applications, indium-111 is often attached to specific molecules or antibodies that target particular cells or tissues in the body, allowing medical professionals to monitor biological processes and identify diseases like cancer.
Another example is Indium-113m (^113mIn), which has a half-life of about 99 minutes. It emits low-energy gamma rays and is used as a source for in vivo counting, typically in the form of indium chloride (InCl3) solution. This radioisotope can be used to measure blood flow, ventilation, and other physiological parameters.
It's important to note that handling and using radioisotopes require proper training and safety measures due to their ionizing radiation properties.
