Abstract
We report a rare complication of nontyphoidal Salmonella infection in a 12-month-old girl with a retropharyngeal abscess. The patient presented with a four-day history of nasal congestion, cough, decreased oral intake, and increased irritability. She was admitted for a suspected deep neck infection. Computed tomography confirmed a retropharyngeal abscess with airway narrowing. Incision and drainage was performed, and intraoperative cultures grew nontyphoidal Salmonella. Epidemiologic investigation revealed exposure to a backyard flock of chickens. The patient had little direct contact with chickens but did go with family to collect eggs, riding on a vehicle that likely became contaminated. This case highlights the risks to infants and young children in contact with live poultry or contaminated environments.

Abstract
Traditional methods concerning type 2 diabetes (T2D) are limited to grouped cells instead of each single cell, and thus the heterogeneity of single cells is erased. Therefore, it is still challenging to study T2D based on a single-cell and network perspective. In this study, we construct a conditional cell-specific network (CCSN) for each single cell for the GSE86469 dataset which is a single-cell transcriptional set from nondiabetic (ND) and T2D human islet samples, and obtain a conditional network degree matrix (CNDM). Since beta cells are the key cells leading to T2D, we search for hub genes in CCSN of beta cells and find that ATP6AP2 is essential for regulation and storage of insulin, and the renin-angiotensin system involving ATP6AP2 is related to most pathological processes leading to diabetic nephropathy. The communication between beta cells and other endocrine cells is performed and three gene pairs with obvious interaction are found. In addition, different expression genes (DEGs) are found based on CNDM and the gene expression matrix (GEM), respectively. Finally, ‘dark’ genes are identified, and enrichment analysis shows that NFATC2 is involved in the VEGF signaling pathway and indirectly affects the production of Prostacyclin (PGI2), which may be a potential biomarker for diabetic nephropathy.

BMC Infect Dis 2020; 20:436. [PMID: 32571225 PMCID: PMC7310241 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-020-05161-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2020] [Accepted: 06/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Thyroid gland infections are rare. Their incidence is estimated to be less than 1% in immunocompromised hosts. Most common pathogens isolated are Gram positive aerobic cocci. Infections with Gram negative facultative aerobes such as Salmonella are rare. Case presentation A 55-year-old female with type II diabetes mellitus and a history of a colloid right thyroid lobe nodule presented with neck pain and fever. She was found to have a thyroid abscess 2 weeks following a non-specific diarrheal illness. A needle aspiration for symptomatic and diagnostic purposes was performed. Cultures grew Salmonella enterica serotype Heidelberg. She was treated with a 12-week course of oral antibiotics and serial aspiration. Conclusion A thyroid abscess is a rare occurrence; however, a high index of suspicion is required to make the diagnosis. The management is directed at minimizing morbidity. The mainstay treatment is medical, but surgery is sometimes necessary to achieve adequate source control, particularly when complications arise.

Abstract
We describe an unusual case of a 58-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) developing sepsis secondary to a prevertebral neck abscess. Following cross-sectional imaging, the patient underwent surgical drainage. Salmonella sandiego was isolated from urine, blood and pus cultures. Salmonella species neck infections represent a rare cause of focal salmonellosis, though have been reported in the literature. This is the first reported case of S. sandiego causing neck abscess. The case highlights an atypical presentation of salmonellosis, with the surprising finding of a neck abscess on cross-sectional imaging without evidence of co-existing significant discitis or osteomyelitis.

Abstract
Salmonella is known to cause invasive illness. However, head and neck abscesses are an unusual presentation of extra-intestinal infection with this organism. We describe a case of Salmonella neck abscess in a diabetic patient. An 18 year old diabetic male was admitted with increasing left sided neck pain and swelling approximately four weeks after gastrointestinal illness. Imaging revealed a left sided neck abscess. Surgical drainage was undertaken. Cultures grew non-typhoid Salmonella species. He was treated with intravenous antibiotics and did well clinically. Salmonella infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with immunocompromising conditions presenting with neck abscess of unclear etiology.

Abstract
Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital malformations which arise from abnormal budding of the primitive tracheobronchial tube and can localize to either the mediastinum or lung parenchyma. They remain clinically silent in most adults unless they become infected or are large enough to compress adjacent structures. Infections involving bronchogenic cysts are often polymicrobial. Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and mycobacterial infections have been reported, though frequently a pathogen is not identified. We present the case of a 46-year-old female with known history of bronchogenic cyst who presented with suspected postobstructive pneumonia. She underwent cyst excision with culture positive for Salmonella enteritidis, an extremely rare finding on review of the literature. The patient recovered following a three-week course of antibiotics for extraintestinal salmonellosis.

JMM Case Rep 2017; 4:e005109.

Abstract
Introduction. We herein describe a case with a neck abscess due to non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS). NTS habitually reside in our environment and colonize all animals including mammals. Colonizations of pigs, chickens, cows and sheep are important because food poisoning episodes in human are often associated with meat. Extra-intestinal infection due to NTS has numerous presentations and complications, with aortic aneurysms being common. Case presentation. A 26-year-old Japanese male complaining of left-sided neck swelling was referred to our hospital for a suspected deep neck abscess. An enhanced computed tomography scan of the neck revealed a low density lesion in the left-sided deep neck area, and consequently the patient underwent urgent incision and drainage. After this urgent operation, Salmonella Choleraesuis was isolated from a greyish-white abscess. The patient ultimately recovered with antimicrobial administration, though re-incision for lymphadenectomy was necessary. The neck abscess may have developed because he had eaten raw meat. Furthermore, untreated diabetes mellitus was diagnosed at presentation. Conclusion.Salmonella enterica serovar Choleraesuis infections are rare in Japan. NTS are generally recognized as important pathogens in food poisoning globally, and attention is required to avoid the development of extra-intestinal infections. In Japan, the increasing lifestyle diversity in recent years highlights the importance of recognizing rare infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This is the first report of breast abscess due to Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium. Staphylococcus aureus is known as the most common cause of breast abscess. Salmonella spp. may occasionally form localized abscesses after dissemination to various organ systems following a bacteraemia. But breast abscess related to Salmonella spp is a very rare complication. CASE PRESENTATION A 43-year-old female patient referred to our hospital with a lump, fever and mild pain in her breast. The patient was not pregnant or lactating at that time. She had a history of rheumatoid arthritis for 5 years and was under immunosuppressive therapy. Ultrasonography of the breast revealed an abscess. The abscess was drained and sent for culture to medical microbiology laboratory. The microorganism was identified as Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium and found to be sensitive to all antibiotics tested. The patient was cured after surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy. The abscess did not recur again. CONCLUSIONS This case is presented to draw attention to non-typhoidal Salmonella as rare causes of breast abscess and submission of specimens to the microbiology laboratory for accurate diagnosis and treatment especially in patients with underlying immunosuppressive diseases.
