Urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection caused by the entry of pathogens into the urinary tract. Symptoms of a UTI are not always obvious, and some are asymptomatic or atypical. Urinary tract infections must be distinguished from other diseases that have a similar clinical appearance. Many UTIs resolve spontaneously, but often cause significant morbidity and mortality. With the unpredictable nature of the disease, laboratory tests are required for accurate diagnosis and identification of the cause of infection.

Plasmodium knowlesi (P. knowlesi) has been recognised as the fifth of malaria infections in human after P. vivax, P. falciparum, P. malariae and P. ovale. Epidemiology and clinical features of the disease have much been discussed only in several literatures since the incidence increased in Kapit Division, Sarawak, Malaysia in 2004. A large-scale research investigating real incidence of the infection in South East Asia is important. Because of rapid life cycle, the number of parasite in the blood can increase significantly, result in potential severe malaria. Pathophysiology aspect of the disease has not been clear yet, particularly on how severe …

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute, life-threatening complication of diabetes which is common in daily practice. DKA is the result of severe insulin deficiency and often presents as the first symptom of an undiagnosed diabetes even though it may also appear in individuals with diabetes. Some conditions that can trigger DKA include infections, myocardial infarction, stroke, pancreatitis, trauma, or poor treatment compliance. Skin tissue infections such as herpes zoster are rare inciting factor in DKA. This article will discuss a case of DKA that is triggered by herpes zoster.

Obesity increases morbidity and mortality through its multiple efects on nearly every human system. Obesity has efect on the immune response which leads to susceptibility to infections. ß lactamases are bacterial enzymes that inactivate ß-lactam antibiotics by hydrolysis. One group of ß lactamases, extended-spectrum ß lactamases (ESBLs), have the ability to hydrolyse and cause resistance to various types of the newer ß-lactam antibiotics. The management of skin and soft tissue infection with polymicrobial infection and multi drug resistance can be challenging problem. We present a case of an obese patient with polymicrobial SSTI. bPatient showed clinical sign of sepsis with …
