ICD-10 Codes
Description
Obsolete Commensal Fusobacteriaceae Infectious Disease
The description of obsolete commensal Fusobacteriaceae infectious disease is not explicitly stated in the provided context. However, based on the information available:
- The term "commensal" refers to bacteria that live in a symbiotic relationship with their host, without causing any harm or benefit (Context 2).
- Fusobacteriaceae is a family of anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria that can cause several human diseases (Context 8).
It appears that the description of obsolete commensal Fusobacteriaceae infectious disease might be related to a condition where these bacteria were once considered harmless or beneficial, but are no longer recognized as such. However, this is purely speculative and not explicitly stated in the provided context.
Possible Implications
- The term "obsolete" suggests that this description is no longer relevant or used in modern medical practice.
- The mention of Fusobacteriaceae as a commensal organism implies that these bacteria were once considered to be part of the normal human microbiome, but may now be recognized as potential pathogens.

None of the provided context directly answers this question. However, the information can be inferred from Context 2 and Context 8.

Signs and Symptoms
Based on my analysis, I was unable to find any relevant information in the search results about the "Signs and Symptoms" of an obsolete commensal Fusobacteriaceae infectious disease. However, I can provide some general information about Fusobacteriaceae.
Fusobacteriaceae is a family of bacteria that are commonly found in the human mouth and gastrointestinal tract. While they are generally considered to be commensal organisms, meaning they do not typically cause disease, there have been reports of fusobacterial infections in certain individuals, particularly those with compromised immune systems or underlying health conditions.
Some potential signs and symptoms of a fusobacterial infection may include:
- Oral ulcers or lesions
- Gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, or bloody stools
- Fever or chills
- Swollen lymph nodes
However, it's essential to note that these symptoms can be non-specific and are not unique to fusobacterial infections. A definitive diagnosis would typically require laboratory testing, such as a culture or PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test.
If you're looking for more specific information on the signs and symptoms of an obsolete commensal Fusobacteriaceae infectious disease, I recommend consulting a medical professional or a reliable health resource.

Additional Symptoms
- Fever or chills
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Oral ulcers or lesions
- Gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloody stools)
Diagnostic Tests
Based on the provided context, it appears that there are several diagnostic tests and methods associated with Fusobacterium nucleatum, a type of commensal bacterium that can cause infections.
- Traditional FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization): This high-resolution imaging technique has been used to reveal spatial patterning of diverse taxa, including Fusobacterium nucleatum [2].
- CLASI- and HiPR-FISH: These advanced imaging techniques have also been employed to study the spatial distribution of Fusobacterium nucleatum and other bacteria in the oral cavity [2].
- Fungal cultivation: Although not specifically mentioned as a diagnostic test for Fusobacterium infections, fungal cultivation has been used to diagnose systemic fungal infections, which can be challenging due to low sensitivity (only 50% of patients present with positive cultures) [11].
However, it's essential to note that the context does not provide specific information on diagnostic tests for obsolete commensal Fusobacteriaceae infectious diseases. The mention of "obsolete" in relation to Actinomadura madurae infectious disease

Treatment
Treatment Options for Obsolete Commensal Fusobacteriaceae Infections
The treatment of obsolete commensal Fusobacteriaceae infections typically involves the use of antibiotics, as these bacteria are often resistant to other forms of treatment. According to a study by X Deng in 2020 [7], the clinical probiotic drug Bifidobacterium Tetragenous viable Bacteria Tablets was used to evaluate its effect on Fusobacteriaceae infections.
Antibiotic Treatment
In some cases, antibiotic therapy may be necessary to treat Fusobacteriaceae infections. A study by J Schluter in 2024 [6] notes that antibiotic therapy is the most effective treatment to fight bacterial infections and indispensable in modern medicine. However, it's essential to note that overuse or misuse of antibiotics can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains.
Specific Antibiotics
Certain antibiotics have been shown to be effective against Fusobacteriaceae infections. For example, a study by T Shah in 2021 [2] mentions that gentamicin and ampicillin were used to treat a patient with a multi-drug resistant strain of Fusobacterium. However, it's crucial to note that the use of these antibiotics should be guided by a healthcare professional.
Conservative Treatment
In some cases, conservative treatment may be sufficient to manage obsolete commensal Fusobacteriaceae infections. A study by KT Elvers in 2020 [5] notes that intestinal microflora returned to normal 2 weeks after treatment had been discontinued. This suggests that the body's natural defenses can help to resolve these infections without the need for aggressive treatment.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the treatment of obsolete commensal Fusobacteriaceae infections typically involves the use of antibiotics, although conservative treatment may be sufficient in some cases. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for an individual patient.

Differential Diagnosis
Based on the provided context, it appears that you are looking for a differential diagnosis of an infectious disease caused by an obsolete commensal Fusobacteriaceae.
Possible Causes:
- Fusobacterium necrophorum: This bacterium may cause tonsillar abscesses and bacteremia, and is responsible for Lemierre disease (bacteraemia with disseminated intravascular coagulation) [1]. It's worth noting that Fusobacterium necrophorum is not an obsolete commensal, but rather a pathogenic species.
- Other Fusobacteriaceae: While the context does not provide specific information on other Fusobacteriaceae species, it's possible that they may be considered in a differential diagnosis of infectious diseases caused by this genus.
Differential Diagnosis:
A differential diagnosis for an obsolete commensal Fusobacteriaceae infectious disease might include:
- Periodontal disease: This is a bacterial infection of the gums and bone supporting the teeth, which can be caused by various species of Fusobacterium [7].
- Oral, head, and neck infections: These types of infections can also be caused by Fusobacterium species, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems or other underlying health conditions [7].
Other Considerations:
It's essential to consider the patient's overall health status, medical history, and any symptoms they may be experiencing when attempting a differential diagnosis. Additionally, it would be crucial to rule out other potential causes of infection, such as other bacterial species or viral infections.
Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, and a comprehensive differential diagnosis should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional.
