Clinical, paraclinical, and morphological investigations were carried out with a total of 12 cattle (9 calves and 3 cows) with an induced suppurative surgical infection caused by two strains of Corynebacterium pyogenes. It was established that such an experimental infection in cattle clinically ran a chronic course, involving predominantly the urinary and the digestive system as well as the joints. Morphologically, the infection was manifested as a chronic septicopyemia, with purulent nephritis and pyelonephritis, cystitis, splenitis, hepatitis, valvular meningoencephalitis, and absceses in various tissues and organs.

A premature newborn male required intensive care and prolonged antibiotic therapy for respiratory distress. Acute renal failure developed from bilateral obstructive candida pyelonephritis complicating systemic Candida albicans infection. Necropsy also revealed organizing subarachnoid hematoma and granulomatous candida meningoencephalitis.

Streptococcus agalactiae is a well-known pathogen during pregnancy and in neonates. Among non-pregnant adults, invasive infection, although rare, is showing increasing frequency, especially in chronically ill, immunosuppressed, or older patients. Although rare, the clinical features of meningeal infection caused by S. agalactiae are similar to other bacterial meningitis. The authors report the case of a middle-aged man previously diagnosed with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and alcoholic liver cirrhosis, who was admitted at the emergency department with a Glasgow Coma Scale of 11/12, generalized spasticity, bilateral Babinski sign, and hypertension. The clinical outcome was bad, with refractory shock and death within 24 hours of hospitalization. The bacteriological work-up isolated S. agalactiae in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), blood, and urine. An autopsy revealed meningoencephalitis, acute myocardial infarction, and pyelonephritis due to septic emboli. The authors point out the atypical CSF findings, the rapid fatal outcome, and the importance of including this pathogen among the etiologic possibilities of invasive infections in this group of patients.
