A woman survived a rare infection that had previously been reported in only two other humans, both of whom died from the disease.
A woman in Australia has become the third known person to be infected with a species of bacteria that normally causes deadly"blackleg" disease in cattle and sheep — and she's the only one to survive, according to a new case report.
Although there were no signs of inflammation or infection when doctors did a computed tomography scan of her abdomen, they prescribed her antibiotics as a precaution. In cattle, the normal host of C. chauvoei, this cellular destruction is what leads to the characteristic appearance of"blackleg." In the recent case, the woman was gardening with her bare hands, which were covered in scratches from a pet cat. That's likely how she got infected, the case report authors wrote.
However, a few days later, her abdominal pain and diarrhea returned. Another CT scan revealed holes in her large intestine, which were later confirmed to be tissue death of the intestines, medically known as necrotizing enterocolitis. Consequently, doctors removed the right side of her large intestine and installed a stoma, which involves redirecting the large intestine through a hole in the abdomen so that feces can still leave the body.
