Septic discitis as initial manifestation of streptococcus bovis endocarditis.

Abstract:

:A 68-year-old man with septic discitis of low lumbar spine is presented. The patient suffered an acute hemorrhagic stroke due to rupture of mycotic aneurysm. Streptococcus bovis biotype I was found in blood cultures. Echocardiography showed bioprosthesis aortic endocarditis. Cardiac surgery was not performed because of normal bioprosthesis function and absence of peri-annular complications. The patient was discharged after 6 weeks of antibiotic treatment.

  • Limitations of Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of neonatal coarctation of the aorta.

    abstract::Blood flow velocities were recorded using Doppler ultrasound in 40 babies aged between 1 day and 4 weeks who had coarctation of the aorta or interruption of the aortic arch. High velocity jets of 3 m/sec or more in the descending aorta were detected in only 3 patients, two of whom had interruption of the aortic arch. ...
