Betten machen im KH lässt #nosokomiale #Keime fliegen - da freut sich der Bettnachbar
#Deutsche Studie weißt #Korrelation zwischen der #Belastung durch #Luft- und #Oberflächenkeime nach dem #Bettenmachen nach - darunter #MRSA
#Deutsche Studie weißt #Korrelation zwischen der #Belastung durch #Luft- und #Oberflächenkeime nach dem #Bettenmachen nach - darunter #MRSA
Ein vorübergehender Anstieg von MRSA in der Raumluft wurde in den meisten Proben 1 Minute und 15 Minuten nach dem Bettenmachen festgestellt, MDRGN wurden in der Luft von zwei Patientenzimmern nachgewiesen.
Beim Bettenmachen verschoben sich die Anteile in Richtung #koagulasenegativer #Staphylokokken und #Staphylococcus #aureus.
1/ Today in @ScienceMagazine, @aspaan1 & colleagues show that human #OTULIN #haploinsufficiency impairs non-leukocytic cell-intrinsic immunity to the #staphylococcal alpha-toxin (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…).
2/ They discovered OTULIN haploinsufficiency via a genome-wide approach in a cohort of patients with unexplained, life-threatening staphylococcal disease – the findings are relevant in vivo. 
3/ The clinical hallmark of OTULIN haploinsufficiency is necrosis of the skin and/or lungs, typically triggered by infections with #Staphylococcus aureus.

2 wk of R ear pain / nasal discharge
Now: R frontal HA, facial pain, vision loss
PE: R ptosis, CN III, IV, VI palsies, purulence R middle meatus
CT: R sided paranasal sinusitis w/ phlegmonous extension to orbital apex
What is DDx, work up and etiology?

Diagnosis: Orbital Apex Syndrome
S/S due to involvement of structures in orbital apex: most common vision loss and painful / limited eye movement
CN palsies
* Optic nerve
* Oculomotor nerve
* Trochlear nerve
* First division of trigeminal nerve
* Abducens nerve

A series of images presented by an ID fellow to a faculty panel in the “Challenging Cases” session of the #MayoIDFellowsForum
The fellow asked the experts: What diagnosis comes to mind?
#IDTwitter, what do you think?

Awesome list of potential pathogens... from staphylococcus / streptococcus to nocardia, TB, fungi (Mucor, Candida, endemics) and toxoplasma, and others.
Without knowing the host and scenario, all are possible. Thank you #IDTwitter.
Now let us learn about the case details..
