splenic abscess. report of 10 cases and review of the literature.ten cases of splenic abscess seen between 1964 and 1974 are reviewed. pain referable to the abscess was the most common symptom, but was present in only five cases. fever was present in all but one case. tenderness in the region of the spleen was noted in six cases, in three cases the spleen was palpable and in one case a large mass in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen was palpated. abdominal films were suggestive of the diagnosis in two cases, and the liver-spleen scan demonstrated a defec ...1976973645
rat bite fever misdiagnosed as rocky mountain spotted fever.a patient who had been exposed to ticks and who had also been bitten by a laboratory rat developed fever, headache, and a rash. he was treated with chloramphenicol for rocky mountain spotted fever, and recovered. blood cultures, however, grew streptobacillus moniliformis, a causative agent of rat bite fever. the case report illustrates the clinical similarities between rat bite fever and rocky mountain spotted fever.1979441774
streptobacillary pleuritis in a koala (phascolarctos cinereus).a case of streptobacillus moniliformis pleuritis in a koala (phascolarctos cinereus) is reported. lesions were granulomatous in nature. s. moniliformis was recovered in pure culture, and found by experimental inoculation to be pathogenic for mice but not for a rat.1979501842
amnionitis with intact amniotic membranes involving streptobacillus moniliformis.a 23-year-old black woman was admitted to the hospital in premature labor with intact amniotic membranes. the patient was afebrile and did not have any obvious signs of infection. gram stain of the amniotic fluid, obtained via transabdominal amniocentesis, revealed the presence of gram-negative rods. the bacterium was identified as streptobacillus moniliformis, the agent of rat-bite fever.19807360458
clinical microbiological, and histological manifestations of streptobacillus moniliformis-induced arthritis in mice.intravenous inoculation of streptobacillus moniliformis into mice resulted in an infection in which the predominant feature was progressive polyarthritis that rendered some joints immobile within 6 months. no migration of arthritis from joint to joint or remission and exacerbation were apparent. viable organisms were apparently removed by the host from blood, liver, and spleen within 28 days post inoculation but persisted in joints for approximately 6 months in some animals. specific antibody wa ...19817309242

streptobacillus actinoides (bacillus actinoides): isolation from pneumonic lungs of calves and pathogenicity studies in gnotobiotic calves.pneumonic lungs of 56 calves were examined and 12 (21 per cent) of them yielded streptobacillus moniliformis-like organisms. these organisms resembled those previously described as bacillus actinoides or actinobacillus actinoides. after intratracheal inoculation of cultures of two strains of these organisms, pneumonic consolidation developed in five out of six gnotobiotic calves and involved up to 16 per cent of the lung surface. histological lesions of interstitial pneumonia were observed in th ...19827089379
rat-bite fever in animal research laboratory personnel.a laboratory animal technician experienced undulating fever, chills, and myalgia 3 days after he was bitten by a laboratory rat. the clinical symptoms subsided with antibiotic therapy, but recurrent fever, malaise, and joint pain occurred when therapy was discontinued. streptobacillus moniliformis was cultured from the patient's blood.19836876736
infective endocarditis caused by uncommon bacteria.the present study is an attempt to define the uncommon bacteria (ub) causing endocarditis and to evaluate their prevalence and clinical significance. review of 13 series (including ours) revealed that ub were the infecting organisms in 105/1989 patients (5.3%). the leading bacteria were: pneumococcus, haemophilus sp., corynebacterium sp., neisseria sp., streptobacillus moniliformis, cardiobacterium hominis and erysipelothrix sp. these data are similar to those obtained from 111 sporadic case rep ...19836879116
streptobacillus moniliformis isolated from blood in four cases of haverhill fever.during february, 1983, an outbreak of an unusual febrile illness occurred in over 130 children attending a boarding school in chelmsford, essex. the clinical features included fever, an erythematous rash that was most prominent on the hands and feet, arthralgia, and the subsequent development of a sore throat. the nature and distribution of the rash varied considerably between patients and at different stages of illness. at first a viral aetiology was regarded as most likely. when streptobacillu ...19836134972

brain abscess due to streptobacillus moniliformis and actinobacterium meyerii.this paper deals with a case of brain abscess due to streptobacillus moniliformis (the cause of the streptobacillary type of rat-bite fever) and actinobacterium meyerii. brain abscesses due to these micro-organisms are rare. the possible causative mechanisms in this particular case and the diagnostic and therapeutic management of brain abscesses in general are discussed.19846490171
rat bite fever: report of a fatal case.two days following a rat bite, a 3-month-old boy presented to the ed with a temperature of 40 c and several puncture wounds on his right hand. he died after a fulminating illness. postmortem examination revealed endocarditis, interstitial pneumonia, hepatic and splenic congestion, and arthritis. blood cultures revealed the presence of streptobacillus moniliformis. rat bite fever is rare in the united states, occurring most commonly in children and laboratory personnel.19854051282
comparison of media with and without 'panmede' for the isolation of streptobacillus moniliformis from blood cultures and observations on the inhibitory effect of sodium polyanethol sulphonate.fastidious anaerobe broth and brain-heart infusion cysteine broth supplemented with 'panmede' (a papain digest of ox liver) 2.5% supported the recovery of five streptobacillus moniliformis strains from simulated blood cultures. other media tested in parallel--brain heart infusion cysteine broth without 'panmede' and brewer's thioglycollate broth--were unreliable. sodium polyanethol sulphonate (liquoid) 0.05%, inhibited five isolates of s. moniliformis, including isolates from patients with haver ...19852984425
effect of sodium polyanetholesulfonate and gelatin on the recovery of gardnerella vaginalis from blood culture media.sodium polyanetholesulfonate (sps) is used as a routine supplement to blood culture media to enhance recovery of microorganisms, but it inhibits the growth of peptostreptococcus anaerobius, neisseria meningitidis, neisseria gonorrhoeae, and streptobacillus moniliformis. comparative clinical blood culture studies at the university of colorado hospital suggested that sps also inhibits the growth of gardnerella vaginalis. we inoculated 16 blood culture isolates of g. vaginalis into 11 blood culture ...19852987298

characterisation and antibiotic susceptibilities of streptobacillus moniliformis.the characteristics of seven strains of streptobacillus moniliformis, including four isolates from a recent outbreak of haverhill fever, are reported. acid production from carbohydrates was uniform apart from variable reactions with mannose and salicin. enzymatic reactions determined by the api zym system and fatty-acid profiles were generally consistent and may be of value in the rapid identification of s. moniliformis. penicillin was the most active of the antibiotics tested in vitro, which su ...19863950962
numerical analysis of electrophoretic protein patterns of streptobacillus moniliformis strains from human, murine and avian infections.a total of 31 cultures representing 22 different strains of streptobacillus moniliformis has been characterised by unidimensional sds-page of cell proteins. the isolates were from sporadic and outbreak cases of human infection in the usa, uk and france, as well as mouse, turkey and rat isolates from various countries. the protein patterns, which contained 40-50 discrete bands, were highly reproducible and were used as the basis for a numerical analysis. three clusters were obtained at the 86% si ...19873585963
[streptobacillus moniliformis endocarditis. apropos of 2 cases].the authors report two cases of endocarditis secondary to streptobacillus moniliformis. a 41 year-old man, bitten by a rat, is hospitalized 5 weeks later for an endocarditis demonstrated by echocardiography, with massive aortic escape and hemodynamic failure requiring emergency valve replacement: after a favorable course, the patient dies suddenly 4 months later. a 63 year-old woman is admitted for a septicemic syndrome with sterno-clavicular arthritis which occurred 10 days after a rat bite; fo ...19873619383
rat-bite fever as a cause of septic arthritis: a diagnostic dilemma.rat-bite fever results from an infection with the organism streptobacillus moniliformis. symptomatic patients often present with fever, malaise, cough, maculopapular rash, and occasional arthritis, and usually have a history of rodent exposure. this report describes a patient with rat-bite fever resulting in suppurative arthritis. the patient's diagnosis was made by culture of s moniliformis from his left wrist. the diagnosis was delayed, however, owing to the lack of an exposure history, atypic ...19873689005
