Endocarditis caused by Rochalimaea quintana in a patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus

Journal of Clinical Microbiology (1993)

D H Spach K P Callis Douglas S. Paauw Yolanda B. Houze Fritz D. Schoenknecht

Rochalimaea quintana and Rochalimaea henselae are closely related, fastidious, gram-negative rickettsiae. Thus far, the spectrum of human Rochalimaea sp. infections has not included endocarditis. We describe a 50-year-old human immunodeficiency virus-positive man who developed endocarditis caused by R. quintana. DNA relatedness studies, which compared our patient's blood culture isolate with known Rochalimaea species, identified the organism as R. quintana. Our report expands the spectrum of Rochalimaea sp. infections and identifies a new infectious cause of endocarditis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma

Postgraduate Medicine (1993)

C. Scott Smith Douglas S. Paauw

Hepatocellular carcinoma appears to be associated with hepatitis B and C infections and is common in patients with cirrhosis caused by chronic viral hepatitis. Screening for hepatocellular carcinoma can lead to early detection and surgical intervention, resulting in improved survival rates. Patients with cirrhosis or unexplained elevation of alphafetoprotein levels should be examined every 3 to 6 months. Patients with chronic viral hepatitis but no underlying liver disease and normal levels of alpha fetoprotein may be examined yearly. Seronegative contacts of hepatitis B virus carriers should be immunized.
