Endovascular stent infection

Abstract

We report a case of iliac stent infection. Nine days after a 24-hour infusion of urokinase and right iliac artery stent deployment, the patient had fever, in addition to severe groin pain and petechiae isolated to the stented limb. The hospital course was complicated by sepsis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, liver dysfunction, and renal insufficiency. Stent removal and iliac/femoral artery resection, as well as an above-knee amputation, were life-saving. Arterial and stent cultures grew Staphylococcus aureus. Stent infection with arterial necrosis is a devastating, rare endovascular complication. Given its potential seriousness, we would recommend the use of prophylactic antibiotics before stent deployment.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
