Sinus infection due to Eikenella corrodens.

J P Dudley, E J Goldstein, W L George

    Archives of Otolaryngology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)
    |August 1, 1978

    Summary

    Eikenella corrodens, a challenging sinus pathogen, can cause indolent infections. Proper culturing in specific atmospheres is crucial for its identification in sinusitis cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Eikenella corrodens is a gram-negative bacterium known to cause various infections.
    • This organism can be overlooked as a sinus pathogen due to difficulties in cultivation and overgrowth by other bacteria.

    Observation:

    • This report details the isolation of Eikenella corrodens from the sinuses of three patients presenting with sinusitis.
    • Key characteristics of Eikenella corrodens infections observed in these cases include indolence, unique susceptibility patterns, and frequent co-isolation in mixed cultures.

    Findings:

    • Eikenella corrodens was successfully isolated from sinus cavities, indicating its role as a potential sinus pathogen.
    • The indolent nature, unusual antibiotic susceptibility, and tendency for mixed culture are significant features of Eikenella corrodens sinusitis.

    Implications:

    • The findings highlight the importance of considering Eikenella corrodens in cases of refractory or unusual sinusitis.
    • Optimal culturing techniques, including incubation in 10% carbon dioxide alongside aerobic and anaerobic conditions, are recommended for accurate diagnosis of sinus infections involving this organism.
