Phlebovirus meningoencephalis complicated by Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia: a case report.
    Vector borne and zoonotic diseases (Larchmont, N.Y.), 2011, Volume: 11, Issue:5

    In June 2004 an 8-year-old boy was admitted to a hospital in Thessaloniki, Greece, because of high fever, tachypnea, hypotonia, diarrhea, and tonoclonic convulsions. Phlebovirus infection was diagnosed by IgG seroconversion to Toscana virus. As IgM antibodies were not detected, it is suggested that this was an acute infection caused by a phlebovirus virus distinct from Toscana virus. Complication by a hospital-acquired Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia resulted in 2 months of hospitalization. Slight ataxia was still present on discharge.

Bilateral herpes simplex keratitis with unilateral secondary bacterial keratitis and corneal perforation in a patient with pityriasis rubra pilaris.
    Cornea, 2008, Volume: 27, Issue:10

    To report a case of bilateral herpes simplex keratitis with unilateral secondary bacterial keratitis resulting in corneal perforation in a patient with pityriasis rubra pilaris.. Case report.. A 77-year-old female with pityriasis rubra pilaris was referred for a perforated corneal ulcer of the left eye. Cultures were positive in both eyes for Herpes simplex and in the left eye for Pseudomonas fluorescens and Staphylococcus aureus A microbiological cure was obtained with a combination of tectonic keratoplasty, fortified topical antibiotics, and systemic acyclovir.. Pityriasis rubra pilaris is a rare, inflammatory dermatologic disease that may predispose patients to bilateral Herpes simplex keratitis, secondary bacterial superinfection, and a tendency toward rapid stromal ulceration with risk of perforation.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa infective endocarditis presenting as bacterial meningitis.
    The Journal of infection, 2005, Volume: 51, Issue:4

    Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a rare cause of infective endocarditis. The case of community-acquired P. aeruginosa infective endocarditis reported here is the first described in the literature to present as bacterial meningitis. Furthermore, new risk factors for P. aeruginosa infective endocarditis, including mitral annular calcification and re-use of insulin syringes, are proposed. Treatment of P. aeruginosa infective endocarditis complicated by bacterial meningitis is discussed.

Varicella-zoster infection in adults with cystic fibrosis: role of acyclovir.
    Scandinavian journal of infectious diseases, 1991, Volume: 23, Issue:3

    Of 159 adult patients with cystic fibrosis, 5 were documented to have varicella-zoster infection that resulted in an infective pulmonary exacerbation that required intravenous acyclovir and additional antibiotic treatment. Stable serial pulmonary function values were observed over a 1-year period in 4 patients and no complications resulted from treatment. Early treatment with acyclovir in combination with appropriate antibiotics may prevent pulmonary deterioration in adult patients with cystic fibrosis who develop varicella-zoster infection.
