A Rare Case Report of Infected Baker’s (Popliteal) Cyst

Review Data

Purpose and Significance of Study: This is a report of a case of Baker’s cyst in an elderly male, which was caused by Streptococcus anginosus, which is rare in the literature.

Fit with Scope of Journal: The manuscript is of very high interest for the journal Surgical Case Reports.

There are some minor changes (already corrected in the galley proof) required in the text, which are listed below –

 

The common issues are –

·       “Baker cyst” must everywhere be replaced with “Baker’s cyst”, and “B” in it must always be in upper case.

·       The scientific names of the pathogens, e.g., “Streptococcus anginosus” must always be italicized, and the letters in the species name must always be in lower case.

·       Omission of articles in some places, e.g., “the” before “adult” in the 2^nd sentence of the 1^st paragraph of the Abstract, “a” before “limited” in the 2^nd sentence of the 2^nd paragraph of the Abstract, and so on.

In the Abstract –

  In the 1^st paragraph –

·       In the 1^st sentence, “fluid-filled” must be hyphenated.

·       In the 3^rd sentence, “,” after “patient” must be removed, and “concern for a” must be removed.

  In the 2^nd paragraph –

·       In the last sentence, “tomogram” must be replaced with “tomography”.

In the Case presentation –

  In the 3^rd paragraph –

·       In the 2^nd sentence, “CBC” must be in upper case.

  In the 6^th paragraph –

·       In the 1^st sentence, “methicillin-resistant” must be hyphenated.

·       In the 6^th sentence, “was” must be replaced with “were”.
