article 3 Citação(ões) na Scopus Fatal adenoviral necrotizing bronchiolitis case in a post-cardiac surgery intensive care unit(2011) CASTELLI, Jussara Bianchi; SICILIANO, Rinaldo F.; VIEIRA, Ricardo D.; AIELLO, Vera D.; STRABELLI, Tania M. V.We report a case of a 67 year-old-male patient admitted to the intensive care unit in the post-coronary bypass surgery period who presented cardiogenic shock, acute renal failure and three episodes of sepsis, the latter with pulmonary distress at the 30th post-operative day. The patient expired within five days in spite of treatment with vancomycin, imipenem, colistimethate and amphotericin B. At autopsy severe adenovirus pneumonia was found. Viral pulmonary infections following cardiovascular surgery are uncommon. We highlight the importance of etiological diagnosis to a correct treatment approach.- Gastrointestinal mucormycosis post lung transplantation (vol 23, pg 368, 2019)(2020) REIS, Flavio Pola dos; CAMPOS, Silvia Vidal; AIELLO, Vera Demarchi; DUARTE, Maria Irma Seixas; SAMANO, Marcos Naoyuki; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manoel

article 9 Citação(ões) na Scopus Infectious endocarditis caused by Nocardia sp.: histological morphology as a guide for the specific diagnosis(2011) CASTELLI, Jussara Bianchi; SICILIANO, Rinaldo Focaccia; ABDALA, Edson; AIELLO, Vera DemarchiNocardia is a rare opportunistic agent, which may affect immunocompromised individuals causing lung infections and exceptionally infective endocarditis (IE). There are few reports of IF caused by Nocardia sp., usually involving biological prostheses but rarely in natural valves. Its accurate microbiological identification may be hampered by the similarity with Rhodococcus equi and Corynebacterium spp. Here we report a case of native mitral valve IF caused by this agent in which the clinical absence of response to vancomycin and the suggestion of Nocardia sp. by histology pointed to the misdiagnosis of Corynebacterium spp. in blood cultures. The histological morphology can advise on the need for expansion of cultivation time and use of extra microbiological procedures that lead to the differential diagnosis with Corynebacterium spp. and other agents, which is essential to establish timely specific treatment, especially in immunocompromised patients.
