Resumen
Una alga rara, Prototheca spp, causó una bursitis crónica en un paciente con artritis reumatoide. Este caso pone de relieve una infección inusual en individuos inmunocomprometidos.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Reumatología
- Enfermedades infecciosas
- Microbiología
Sus antecedentes:
- La artritis reumatoide (AR) es una enfermedad autoinmune crónica que afecta las articulaciones.
- La bursitis olecraniana es una inflamación del saco lleno de líquido del codo.
- Las terapias convencionales a menudo fallan en los casos refractarios.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para reportar un caso excepcional de bursitis crónica olecraniana causada por un patógeno inusual.
- Destacar las consideraciones diagnósticas y terapéuticas para la bursitis refractaria en pacientes inmunocomprometidos.
Principales métodos:
- Informe de caso de una mujer de 79 años con artritis reumatoide.
- Evaluación diagnóstica que incluya la identificación del agente causante a partir del líquido bursal.
- Revisión de las terapias convencionales para la bursitis olecraniana.
Principales resultados:
- Prototheca spp, un tipo de alga, fue identificado como el agente causante de la bursitis crónica del olecranón izquierdo.
- La condición del paciente era refractaria a los enfoques terapéuticos convencionales.
Conclusiones:
- La infección por Prototheca spp es una causa rara pero potencial de bursitis refractaria, incluso en ausencia de factores de riesgo típicos.
- Este caso subraya la importancia de considerar los patógenos atípicos en las condiciones inflamatorias refractarias.

Green algae, also referred to as chlorophytes, are different from red algae in having the chloroplasts containing chlorophylls a and b, which give them their distinct green hue. However, they lack phycobiliproteins, preventing them from developing the red or blue-green pigmentation seen in red algae. In terms of photosynthetic pigment composition, green algae closely resemble plants and share a close evolutionary relationship with them. Taxonomically Green algae belong to Phylum Chlorophyta in...

The group Stramenopiles include some phototrophic microorganisms. Members of this group possess flagella covered in numerous short, hairlike extensions, a feature that inspired the group's name, derived from the Latin words for "straw" and "hair." Some of the main categories of Stramenopiles include diatoms, golden algae, and brown algae.Diatoms are unicellular, photosynthetic eukaryotes, with over 200 known genera. They play a key role in the planktonic communities of both marine and...

Red algae, also known as rhodophytes, are primarily found in marine environments, though some species inhabit freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. These organisms exist in both unicellular and multicellular forms, with some multicellular varieties reaching macroscopic sizes.As phototrophic organisms, red algae contain chlorophyll a; however, their chloroplasts lack chlorophyll b. Instead, they possess phycobiliproteins, which serve as major light-harvesting pigments, similar to those found in...

01:17Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction
540
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

01:28Overview of Algae
177
The kingdom Archaeplastida encompasses red and green algae, along with land plants. Unlike other protists with chloroplasts that arose through secondary endosymbiosis, only red and green algae originated from primary endosymbiotic events. This diverse group of eukaryotic organisms contains chlorophyll and performs oxygenic photosynthesis.Algae exist in various forms, from large brown kelp in coastal waters to green scum in puddles and stains on rocks or soil. Some species are responsible for...

01:24Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
148
The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
