"... der Wissenschaft einen Tempel bauen" : zum 300. Geburtstag Johann Christian Senckenbergs
(2006)
Background: Pulmonary nocardiosis (PN) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening infection. Most of our knowledge is derived from case reports or smaller case series. Recently, increasing PN incidence rates have been reported. We aim to describe the clinical course of and risk factors for PN in four Western European countries and to estimate population-based annual hospitalization rates.
Methods: Retrospective evaluation (1995 to 2011) of the clinical course of and risk factors for PN in patients from 11 hospitals in four European countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland and The Netherlands). Calculation of population-based estimates of hospitalization rates of PN in Germany (2005 to 2011) using official German nationwide diagnosis-related groups (DRG) hospital statistics.
Results: Forty-three patients fulfilled stringent criteria for proven (n = 8) and probable (n = 35) PN; seven with extrapulmonary dissemination. Within the 43 patients, major PN risk factors were immunocompromising (83.7%) and/or pulmonary (58.1%; in 27.9% as only comorbidity) comorbidities. Median duration of PN targeted therapy was 12 weeks. Distinguished patterns of resistance were observed (imipenem susceptibility: N. farcinica 33.3%; N. asteroides 66.7%). Overall mortality rate was 18.9%; in disseminated PN 50%. Over time, annual PN hospitalization rates remained unchanged at around 0.04/100′000 with the highest rate among men aged 75–84 years (0.24/100′000).
Conclusion: PN is rare, but potentially life-threatening, and mainly affects immunocompromised elder males. Overall annual hospitalization rates remained stable between 2005 and 2011.
Rationale and objectives: To provide a detailed analysis of injury patterns of the spine following blunt trauma and establish the role of supplementary MRI by evaluating discrepancies in the detection rates of damaged structures in CT and MRI.
Method: 216 patients with blunt trauma to the spine who underwent CT followed by supplementary MRI were included in this study. Two board-certified radiologists blinded to clinical symptoms and injury mechanisms independently interpreted all acquired CT and MRI images. The interpretation was performed using a dedicated catalogue of typical findings associated with spinal trauma and assessed for spinal stability using the AO classification systems.
Results: Lesions to structures associated with spinal instability were present in 31.0% in the cervical spine, 12.3% in the thoracic spine, and 29.9% in the lumbar spine. In all spinal segments, MRI provided additional information regarding potentially unstable injuries. Novel information derived from supplementary MRI changed clinical management in 3.6% of patients with injury to the cervical spine. No change in clinical management resulted from novel information on the thoracolumbar spine. Patients with injuries to the vertebral body, intervertebral disc, or spinous process were significantly more likely to benefit from supplementary MRI.
Conclusion: In patients that sustained blunt spinal trauma, supplementary MRI of the cervical spine should routinely be performed to detect injuries that require surgical treatment, whereas CT is the superior imaging modality for the detection of unstable injuries in the thoracolumbar spine.
