Multiplex Gastrointestinal Panel Testing in Hospitalized Patients With Acute Diarrhea in Thailand.

Background: Multiplex gastrointestinal (GI) panel testing is widely used for outpatient diagnosis of diarrhea. However, the clinical practicality of multiplex testing in hospitalized diarrheal subjects has not yet been thoroughly elucidated.

Methods: We enrolled hospitalized subjects with acute diarrhea.

Severe Complications of Uterine Dehiscence Post-Lower Segment Cesarean Section: A Case Report Emphasizing the Importance of Timely Diagnosis and Intervention.

BACKGROUND Uterine dehiscence, an infrequent event often mistaken for uterine rupture, is rarely linked to post-cesarean section procedures and can result in severe complications, notably puerperal sepsis. In this report, we present a case that exemplifies the onset of puerperal sepsis and the emergence of intra-abdominal abscesses attributed to uterine dehiscence following a lower segment cesarean section (LSCS). CASE REPORT Our patient, a 28-year-old woman in her third pregnancy, underwent LSCS 1 week earlier.

Distinguishing clinical characteristics of central nervous system tuberculosis in immunodeficient and non-immunodeficient individuals: a 12-year retrospective study.

Background: Central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS TB) is a severe Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. It is unclear whether a patient's immune status alters the clinical manifestations and treatment outcomes of CNS TB.

Methods: Between January 2007-December 2018, chart reviews of CNS TB, including tuberculous meningitis (TBM), tuberculoma/abscess, and TB myelitis, were made.

A multiplex pneumonia panel for diagnosis of hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia in the era of emerging antimicrobial resistance.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), including multidrug (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria, is an essential consideration in the prevention and management of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). In the AMR era, the clinical utility of the BioFire FilmArray Pneumonia Panel Plus (BFPP) to diagnose HAP/VAP has not been thoroughly evaluated.

Methods: We enrolled adult hospitalized patients with HAP or VAP at Siriraj Hospital and Saraburi Hospital from July 2019-October 2021.

Corrigendum: The first molecular genotyping of causing primary amebic meningoencephalitis in Thailand with epidemiology and clinical case reviews.
