5.A Prospective, Comparative Study of Two Methods of Ascitic Fluid Culture to Diagnose Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis..
Korean Journal of Clinical Microbiology 2003;6(1):52-55
BACKGROUND: Inoculation of ascitic fluid into blood culture bottles is known to be more efficient than conventional culture method to diagnose spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. The aim of this study is to evaluate recovery and early detection of peritonitis-causing bacteria from ascitic fluid by using the BACTEC blood culture system with bedside inoculation. The results were compared to those of conventional culture method. METHODS: Ascitic fluid specimens from 345 patients suspicious of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis were prospectively evaluated between January 1999 and March 2002. In all cases, 5 to 10 mL of ascitic fluid were inoculated at the bedside into a pair of BACTEC blood culture bottles (BC method), and simultaneously an aliquot of ascitic fluid was sent to microbiology laboratory for conventional culture. Isolated microorganisms and the time elapsed for final report were compared between the two methods. RESULTS: BC method was positive in 66/345 ascitic fluid specimens (19.1%) and conventional culture method in 48/345 (13.9%) (P=0.065). Time elapsed for final report was 82 20.5 hours for blood culture method and 107 42.4 hours for conventional culture method (P=0.002). CONCLUSION: BC method using BACTEC system provides an earlier microbiologic diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis than conventional culture method with higher sensitivity.

7.Chryseobacterium indologenes Isolated from Clinical Specimens.
Korean Journal of Clinical Microbiology 1999;2(1):101-104
Chryseobacterium indologenes is a nonfastidious, oxidase-positive, gram-negative rod that does not ferment glucose. It is known to be associated with a variety of clinical infections. We report six cases of C. indologenes isolated from clinical specimens, which were seen at our institution over a 2-year period. These organisms were recovered from blood, pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, bile, endotracheal aspirate, and sputum. We described clinical characteristics, treatment outcome, microbiological characteristics, and in vitro antibiotic susceptibility test.

We evaluated the availability of toluidine blue stain in body fluids, such as peritoneal and pleural fluid and urine. Nine hundreds specimens, i.e., 400 pleural and 400 peritoneal fluids and 100 urine samples, respectively, from Jan. 1995 to May 1996 were included. We obtained the result of high sensitivity and high specificity in toluidine blue stained body fluid in comparison with Papanicolaou stained result. Additionally, we found the diagnostically important crystals in chylothorax and some urine samples, which can not be seen in routine Papanicolaou stain. We thought the toluidine blue stain in body fluid is one of very useful diagnostic methods.

Ovarian primary malignant melanoma is very uncommon with only 44 reported cases in the literature. A 71-year-old woman with an ovarian mass and multiple nodules in the liver presented to our hospital. She was treated with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and malignant melanoma was found in the mature cystic teratoma of the ovary. Malignant melanoma cells were also found in the ascitic fluid. She died 5 months later. Here we report a very uncommon case of malignant melanoma arising in an ovarian mature cystic teratoma with a review of the literature.
