Abstract: Chryseobacterium indologenes was saprophytic gram-negative rods which can give multiple organ failure among the immunocompromised patients. In this paper, we herein report a case of bicytopenia and severe urinary infection due to Chryseobacterium indologenes in immunocompetent patient. The case consisted of a 45-year-old Malagasy male immunocompetent patient, admitted for acute onset of fever and chills three days after laparotomy. He had no past medical history. Clinical examination showed low blood pressure 80/40mmHg, heart rate beat 130 bpm. He presented distended bladder. The remainder of the physical examination was unremarkable. Laboratory test showed anemia and thrombocytopenia and elevated C reactive protein. Urine culture was positive for multiresistant C. indologenes, but the antibiogram was unavailable. The patient’s inflammatory and vasculitis work-up was unremarkable. Malignancy work-up was also negative. Bladder catheter was removed. Clinical improvement was observed on empiric levofloxacin® and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole® antibiotic therapy. Bicytopenia and severe form urinary infection in an immunocompetent patient was a manifestation of C. indologenes in our case. Association of broad-spectrum antibiotic might be used in nosocomial infection if the antibiogram was unavailable in this infection. Removing the bladder catheter may also be an important consideration. Furthermore, there was no similar case in our hospital. So, more epidemiological studies are required to explain the transmission mechanism and develop effective preventive measures.Abstract: Chryseobacterium indologenes was saprophytic gram-negative rods which can give multiple organ failure among the immunocompromised patients.

Abstract: Ethiopia is endemic to a number of livestock diseases OIE listed diseases and these infectious diseases are a key constraint in livestock production and food security. The study was conducted from October 2022 to February 2023 in Gida Ayana district to assess common animal diseases frequently presented in the vet’s clinics for treatment. The present study revealed that, different infectious diseases are the most important animal health problem in the study area with 26% prevalence of clinically sick animals presented for treatment at the clinics as a whole. Study site wise, the number of infectious cases (31.8%) was recorded at Ayana type B clinic followed by 25.2% at Ejere vet’s clinic and proportionally, the lowest was recorded at Gute Gudina clinic (21.9%). GIT parasitism is the second leading animal health problem in the area with 24.1% as a general followed by Trypanosomiasis with 19% of total animal presented for treatment in the specified vet’s clinics (kebeles) as a whole. Also, Ecto-parasitismis another animal health problem in the district with 13.3% from the whole cases recorded during specified period. Both non infectious diseases and physical injuries are relatively the lower number of cases identified during study period with 8.3% and 9.1% respectively. Generally, the current study indicated that, livestock are affected by infectious diseases, endoparasite and trypanosomiasis at high risk and there is less risk of non-infectious diseases and physical injuries in the area. This shows that, vaccinating animals for those endemic infections and prevention and controlling of tsetse fly is under requirement. Even though, the animal population of the selected site is high, the number of animal and owner using the clinic is less due to absence of proper case recording habits of the experts. Therefore, mass vaccination should be given for endemic diseases in the area as a whole and every case seen and treated in vet’s clinic need to be documented.Abstract: Ethiopia is endemic to a number of livestock diseases OIE listed diseases and these infectious diseases are a key constraint in livestock production and food security.
