Title: | [Actinotignum schaalii: Report of two cases of bacteremia in Argentina] | Authors: | Gallo, Romina Tamborini, Ana Lis Di Bella, Horacio Scarone, Nahuel Morante, Martín Prieto, Mónica A. Casabona, Luis Marcelo |
Keywords: | Actinotignum schaalii;Bacteremia;Patologías urinarias | Issue Date: | 2022 | Journal: | Revista Argentina de microbiologia | Abstract: | Actinotignum schaalii is an emerging pathogen in elderly patients with urinary tract pathologies. Two cases of A. schaalii bacteremia are described. Case 1: 79-year-old patient with a history of benign prostatic hyperplasia. He was admitted to the ward for febrile syndrome, abdominal pain, and dysuria. Case 2: 95-year-old patient with prostatic adenomectomy, urethrostomy due to urethral stricture, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. He was admitted due to febrile syndrome, productive cough, bilateral infiltrates with right paracardiac image, and pleural effusion. In both patients, A. schaalii was isolated in blood cultures, identified by MALDITOF-MS mass spectrometry. Only in case 1 was it confirmed that the focus of bacteremia was urinary. It is important to suspect this emerging pathogen in urinary infections with pathological sediment without developing in traditional culture media to ensure adequate empirical treatment. Since most of the isolates show resistance to ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. |
