- Gordonia terrae kidney graft abscess in a renal transplant patient(2014) NICODEMO, A. C.; ODONGO, F. C. A.; DOI, A. M.; SAMPAIO, J. L. M.We present the first report, to our knowledge, of a renal abscess cause by an infection from Gordonia terrae in a kidney transplant patient. The patient simultaneously had pulmonary tuberculosis and a perirenal allograft abscess caused by G.terrae. After treatment with imipenem, in addition to anti-tuberculous drugs, the patient was cured.
- Rothia aeria endocarditis in a patient with a bicuspid aortic valve: case report(2014) NICODEMO, Antonio Carlos; GONCALVES, Luiz Guilherme; ODONGO, Fatuma Catherine Atieno; MARTINO, Marines Dalla Valle; SAMPAIO, Jorge Luiz MelloRothia aerie is an uncommon pathogen mainly associated with endocarditis in case reports. In previous reports, endocarditis by R. aerie was complicated by central nervous system embolization. In the case we report herein, endocarditis by R. aerie was diagnosed after acute self-limited diarrhea. In addition to the common translocation of R. aerie from the oral cavity, we hypothesize the possibility of intestinal translocation. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry and genetic sequencing are important tools that can contribute to early and more accurate etiologic diagnosis of severe infections caused by Gram-positive rods.
