In situ hybridization for specific fungal organisms in acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis.   Am J Clin Pathol, 135(2): 190-9.

Acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFRS) most commonly occurs in immunosuppressed patients. The identification of fungal subtypes is important for management, and cultures can be negative. We studied 55 specimens from 23 patients with AIFRS (Rhizopus sp, 6; Aspergillus sp, 8; Fusarium sp, 1; Alternaria sp, 1; and culture negative, 7) using in situ hybridization (ISH) with biotin-labeled oligonucleotide probes targeting Aspergillus sp, Fusarium sp, Rhizopus sp, and a sequence identified in ...

The association between paranasal computerized tomography scans and symptoms and signs in a general practice population with acute maxillary sinusitis.   APMIS, 119(1): 44-8.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between changes revealed by computerized tomography scan (CT) and symptoms, signs, and bacteriological diagnoses in a general practice population who had been diagnosed with acute maxillary sinusitis (AMS). This study was designed as a prospective cohort study in Danish general practice in cooperation with the otorhinolaryngology and neuroradiology departments at Aalborg County Hospital. One hundred and seventy-four patients, aged ... [Abstract] [Full-text]

Capnocytophaga sputigena primary iliopsoas abscess.   J Med Microbiol, 59: 1368-70.

Iliopsoas abscess is usually secondary to the spread of infection from a contiguous focus. Primary disease is uncommon, except in children where Staphylococcus aureus is the main pathogen. We report a 60-year-old woman who developed a primary iliopsoas abscess as a result of haematogenous spread of Capnocytophaga sputigena from a palatal fistula and chronic sinusitis due to previous treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Pyomyositis due to unusual and fastidious Gram-negative bacilli should be ... [Abstract] [Full-text]
