A Rare Case of Streptococcus equi Infection: A Report and Brief Review of the Literature. We present a rare case of subspecies zooepidemicus (SEZ) bacteremia in a 73-year-old male with a history of Parkinson's disease, pulmonary embolism, and recent left knee total arthroplasty who developed fever and sepsis complicated by septic arthritis of a prosthetic knee and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Blood cultures grew in four out of four bottles, and history revealed frequent horse exposure, suggesting zoonotic transmission with hematogenous seeding of the prosthetic joint. The diagnosis was further challenged by systemic computed tomography (CT) abnormalities and the concurrent DVT, wh...
Streptococcus equi Subspecies zooepidemicus Infective Endocarditis: A Case Report of a Rare Bacterium and Review of the Literature. Infective endocarditis (IE) is a dreaded disease with a high mortality rate. In Denmark, IE is most often caused by or species. We present a rare case of a 50-year-old woman with a history of a dual-chamber pacemaker due to third-degree atrioventricular block and a mechanical mitral valve inserted due to mitral stenosis. The patient was admitted to the hospital after she was found lying on the floor in her home. The patient was diagnosed with subspecies () prosthetic heart valve IE, which was complicated with meningitis, myocardial infarction, and an increasing vegetation load despite antib...
Equestrian Trauma in an Urban Environment: A Retrospective Analysis in a Level I Trauma Center. Equestrian trauma is recognized as a high-risk injury mechanism with the potential for significant morbidity and mortality. Although horse-related injuries are more frequently seen in a rural environment, they can also occur in urban settings. Urban physicians should be mindful of these potential cases. Methods: A retrospective review was performed on all patients treated at Nassau University Medical Center, East Meadow, New York, for equestrian-related trauma from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2024. Results: Twenty-nine equestrian trauma patients ages 10-70 were included, with injuries ob...
Traumatic Hemothorax With Rib Fixation in a Professional Jockey Following a Horse Stomping Incident. Traumatic hemothorax is a serious condition requiring immediate intervention. We present a case of a 48-year-old male professional jockey who suffered traumatic hemothorax, bilateral pulmonary contusions, and multiple rib fractures after being stomped by a horse. Management included intercostal drainage placement, costal fixation from the 5th to the 10th rib, and intensive care unit admission. Postoperative complications included, acute kidney injury, rhabdomyolysis, and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing ...
Diastasis of the Pubic Symphysis Without Fall While Horseback Riding: A Case Report. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a rare case of pelvic ring injury in a healthy man without a history of high energy damage. A 43-year-old man presented to the emergency with local pain in pubic symphysis and difficulty walking after horseback riding. The patient did not report any fall or injury during this recreational activity, and apart from tachycardia, he was hemodynamically stable with normal blood pressure. Additionally, no deficit of neurological function was observed. The radiological imaging demonstrated an injury of the pelvic ring APC II with a diastasis of pubic symph...
Prevotella bivia Infection of a Horse Bite Wound. Horse bites are common non-fatal injuries in the United States. Infections of horse bite wounds in humans are usually due to bacteria that correspond to the oropharyngeal bacterial flora of horses. We report the novel case of a 25-year-old woman who sustained a horse bite wound that was infected with , a Gram-negative, non-pigmented anaerobe. We discuss the epidemiology, bacteriology, and clinical management of horse bites.
Equine Pergolide Toxicity: A Case Series. Veterinary medication exposure may result in human toxicity, with approximately 6,000 exposures to veterinary-only medications reported to poison centers in 2022. There is a paucity of literature on the management of poisoned patients secondary to pharmaceuticals intended for equine use. Pergolide is a dopamine and serotonin receptor agonist and is currently approved to treat equine Cushing's disease. It was previously approved in the United States (US) to treat Parkinson's disease in humans; however, it was withdrawn from the market in 2007 due to its association with valvular heart disease....
The Management of Xylazine Overdose With Naloxone. This article discusses a rare case of isolated xylazine overdose in a human, treated successfully with naloxone. Xylazine, typically used as a veterinary tranquilizer, acts as a potent α2 adrenergic agonist, leading to sedation, muscle relaxation, and potential respiratory depression. In this case, a female mistakenly injected herself with xylazine mistaking it for a different medication. The report discusses naloxone's role beyond opioid overdose, especially regarding substances causing central nervous system (CNS) depression via mechanisms similar to those of opioids. While naloxone is trad...
Complete Traumatic Rupture of the Pancreas by a Horse Saddle: A Case Report. Pancreatic trauma is one of the least observed diagnoses in the emergency room, much less in pediatric emergencies. Any cause of direct abdominal blunt trauma can cause it. With only a few cases presented in the literature, horse accidents have been associated with this complication, but it has been never seen in literature as a case where the horse-riding saddle is the one causing the pancreatic trauma, until now. Emphasizing the importance of an early diagnosis is the key point, but more importantly, to highlight that the correct diagnostic approach will grant the opportunity for a lesion in...
Horse and Cattle-Related Trauma: A Retrospective Review of Injuries and Management in a Regional Queensland Hospital. Horse and cattle-related trauma is a common presentation to regional hospitals in Australia. We review local incidence and patterns of injuries relating to horse and cattle trauma over a three-year period at the Toowoomba Base Hospital within the Darling Downs region in Queensland, an area rich in cattle farming and equestrian recreation. Methods: We conducted a single-centre retrospective cohort study. The inclusion criteria were all patients presenting with injuries following cattle or horse-related incidents between January 2018 and April 2021. Primary outcomes were the mechanism of trauma,...
Medicine and Horsemanship: The Effects of Equine-assisted Activities and Therapies on Stress and Depression in Medical Students. This study examined the use of an equine-assisted brief course module on stress and depression among medical students (n = 28), a demographic known to experience high pressure. Evidence supports that animal-assisted therapies can lead to the improvement of health and quality of life, particularly in terms of cognitive, psychological, and physical benefits. This study used the seven-session Kane Medicine and Horsemanship program; students completed pre- and post-measures one week before and after the course. Participation in the course significantly reduced perceived stress (p: 0.001), depressi...
