Abstract	Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) are at increased risk for a wide variety of typical and atypical infections as a consequence of impaired cell mediated and humoral immunity. We report a case of meningoencephalitis in a renal transplant recipient caused by lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) acquired by exposure to mice excreta. The clinical course was complicated by the development of hydrocephalus, requiring a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of LCMV infection in a SOTR that was not organ donor derived.

Abstract	Acinetobacter baumannii remains an important and difficult-to-treat pathogen whose resistance patterns result in significant challenges for the clinician. Despite the prevalence and interest in A. baumannii infections, there is relatively limited well-controlled scientific data to help the clinician select optimal empirical and subsequent targeted therapy for a variety of infections. We will review the currently available antimicrobial agents and discuss the clinical data supporting the use of the various agents.

Abstract	Infections related to cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are increasing in prevalence and carry substantial morbidity and mortality. Complications involving peripheral intravenous catheters resulting in CIED infections have not yet been investigated and may pose an important risk factor. We report 5 cases of CIED infection related to documented complications of peripheral vascular devices.

Abstract	Bordetella holmesii is a rare cause of invasive human disease. The fastidious and unusual nature of this organism makes routine isolation and identification challenging. We report two cases of B. holmesii bacteremia that were rapidly identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) when standard techniques failed to provide speciation. There are no current standards for susceptibility testing or treatment recommendations. The rare occurrence and challenges in identifying this pathogen led us to perform a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, clinical presentations, and treatment options for this potentially invasive pathogen.

Abstract	Patients admitted with pneumonia often receive a chest computed tomography (CT) scan for a variety of reasons. We conducted this study to evaluate our overall utilization and the clinical impact of CT scans in patients admitted to our institution with pneumonia. Patients admitted to our facility from January 2008 through November 2011 with a confirmed diagnosis of pneumonia were eligible for evaluation. Information related to patient demographics, performance of a CT scan, pneumonia-related procedures, severity of illness, and outcomes was collected. One hundred ninety-five patients met inclusion criteria. Sixty-nine patients had CT scans performed. CT scans were performed more often in younger patients (58.1 ± 19.0 vs 66.8 ± 18.6, P = 0.002), individuals with lower CURB 65 (Confusion, Urea, Respiratory rate, Blood pressure, Age > 65) scores (1.7 ± 1.4 vs 2.2 ± 1.4, P = 0.037), and those with no infiltrates or consolidation on plain radiographs (26.9% vs 7.1%, P < 0.0001). Patients who had a procedure performed had longer average length of stays (15.3 ± 11.9 vs 6.8 ± 4.1 days, P = 0.016). Pneumonia-related procedures were more likely performed in patients who had a CT scan. Specific guidelines and objective rules need to be developed to prospectively guide the use of advanced imaging techniques in pneumonia patients.

Abstract	Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry has dramatically altered the way microbiology laboratories identify clinical isolates. Direct blood culture (BC) detection may be hampered, however, by the presence of charcoal in BC bottles currently in clinical use. This study evaluates an in-house process for extraction and MALDI-TOF identification of Gram-negative bacteria directly from BC bottles containing charcoal. Three hundred BC aliquots were extracted by a centrifugation-filtration method developed in our research laboratory with the first 96 samples processed in parallel using Sepsityper® kits. Controls were colonies from solid media with standard phenotypic and MALDI-TOF identification. The identification of Gram-negative bacteria was successful more often via the in-house method compared to Sepsityper® kits (94.7% versus 78.1%, P≤0.0001). Our in-house centrifugation-filtration method was further validated for isolation and identification of Gram-negative bacteria (95%; n=300) directly from BC bottles containing charcoal.

Abstract	Incomplete participation in the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention treaty and noncompliance by several signatory nations makes the malicious use of aerosolized biologic toxins a continuing threat. Unfortunately,prompt diagnosis of toxin exposure may be confounded by a paucity of pathognomonic features and limited diagnostics, but the scenario of patients presenting en masse with a similar pulmonary syndrome should alert the clinician to the possibility of aerosolized toxin exposure. As knowledge of these agents increases, so too should the capabilities for detection,protection, diagnosis, and therapy. This improved understanding, coupled with ongoing public education and awareness and with detailed proactive planning will provide the framework for a prepared community.
