Recently, the frequency of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection has been increasing. We experienced a case of postoperative enterocolitis due to MRSA. The patient was an 81-year-old male with benign prostatic hypertrophy. Urine leakage from the penrose drain tube appeared 1 day after suprapubic prostatectomy. We had used intravenous infusion of antibiotic agents including cefodizine (CDZM), imipenem (IPM/CS) and cefmetazol (CMZ). He developed severe diarrhea, high fever, oliguria, leg edema and ascites 24 days after the operation. MRSA was detected from his feces. Toxic shock syndrome toxin-I (TSST-I) was produced by this bacteria the coagulase type of which was type II. The patient was treated with oral vancomycin (1 g/day), to which this bacteria showed sensitivity and the patient showed, improvement, including symptoms, leucocytosis and serum CRP level 12 days after administration of vancomycin.

We describe the case of an obese patient presenting leg oedema, progressive oliguria, orthopnoea and mild increased B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) provided additional data for the interpretation of the plasma BNP values, contributing to the diagnosis of heart failure and the appropriate management of the patient. In our mind, BIA could represent a useful tool for integrating the plasma BNP assay in both diagnosis and management of heart failure.

A 70-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with malaise, bilateral leg edema, and oliguria. She had a history of advanced uterine cancer. Bilateral double-J catheters were inserted because growth of intra-abdominal metastases led to bilateral ureteral stricture and hydronephrosis. Two days later, she suddenly developed high fever. Thin gram-positive bacilli of moderate length were detected in the anaerobic blood culture bottles. We performed 16S ribosomal RNA analysis of the isolate and it showed 100% match with Alloscardovia omnicolens DSM 21503(T). She was successfully treated with cefmetazole in addition to percutaneous nephrostomy.
