  • Acral necrosis by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
    Publication . PEREIRA, O.; VELHO, G.C.; LOPES, V.; MOTA, F.; SANTOS, C.; MASSA, A.
    Keywords:necrosis;skin and soft tissue infection;Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Abstract Background Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (SM) has been considered a nosocomial pathogen. Nevertheless, community acquired infection may occur more frequently than usually recognized. Case We describe distal necrosis of the fingers by SM in a farmer, contracted in the community and successfully treated with a combination of cotrimoxazole and ciprofloxacin. The patient was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia 6 months later. Conclusions This unusual presentation shows that infection with SM should be included in the differential diagnosis of the skin and soft tissue infection, even in apparently healthy patients.

    Rev Iberoam Micol. 2002 Dec;19(4):201-3. [Three years incidence of dermatophytes in a hospital in Porto (Portugal)]. [Article in Spanish] Lopes V, Velho G, Amorim ML, Cardoso ML, Massa A, Amorim JM. SourceServiço de Microbiologia, Hospital Geral Santo António, Largo Prof. Abel Salazar, 4099-001 Porto, Portugal. Abstract We evaluated the incidence of dermatophytes isolated at our hospital in the years of 1997 to 2000 and correlated it with anatomical site and age. Trichophyton rubrum was the predominant species in all anatomical sites, excluding scalp, followed by Microsporum canis, the leading agent of tinea capitis. All dermatophytosis, except tinea capitis by M. canis and Trichophyton schoenleinnii appeared mainly in adult patients. Our results revealed no substantial differences to other portuguese studies regarding the major agents. We found a relatively high incidence of T. schoenleinnii as second tinea capitis agent.
