visceral botryomycosis in a case of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae endocarditis
Human Pathology, 2005Co-Authors: Henry J. Carson, James T PerkinsAbstract:Summary Botryomycosis is a rare bacterial infection of the skin and, rarely, viscera that is characterized by the formation of characteristic hyaline grains. We encountered a patient with Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae endocarditis who developed visceral botryomycosis. He was a 54-year-old black man who presented in sepsis with a history of progressive weakness and severe weight loss. He died 10 hours after admission. At autopsy, endocarditis was identified, along with infarcts of the spleen and kidneys. Microscopically, visceral botryomycosis was seen. With these bacteria, an animal source is usually identified, although one was not found in this man. Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is an organism that is becoming identified in a range of infections in humans, the manifestations and pathophysiology of which are still being discovered.

Septic Arthritis Caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in a Prosthetic Knee Joint
Journal of clinical microbiology, 2009Co-Authors: Laurent Hocqueloux, Didier Marc Poisson, Simon Sunder, Sébastien Guilbert, Thierry PrazuckAbstract:We describe the third case of prosthetic infection due to Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. The patient, a 68-year-old woman, had had total knee arthroplasty 12 months before diagnosis. She had been in contact with swine at home. We review the seven previous reports of septic arthritis due to E. rhusiopathiae.
