  • The study investigates the prevalence, risk factors, and distribution of genotypes related to endocervical infections in infertile women in Vietnam, finding a 15.6% infection rate among 761 participants.
  • Factors associated with these infections include abnormal vaginal discharge, cervicitis, lower abdominal pain, history of ectopic pregnancy, multiple sexual partners, and age at first sexual intercourse.
  • The most common genotypes identified were E, D, and F, highlighting the need for routine screening and infection control measures for better reproductive health outcomes.

Background And Objectives: Identification of pnemococcal serotypes and antimicrobial resistance provides helpful information for the use of suitable vaccines and antibiotics; however, very limited data is available on these issues in Vietnam. The present study aimed to find the serotype distribution and drug resistance patterns of isolated from unvaccinated children less than 5 years of age with pneumonia at a province in centre Vietnam.

Materials And Methods: A total of 126 clinical pnemococcal strains isolated from unvaccinated children less than 5 years of age with pneumonia at the Nghe An province, Vietnam between Nov 2019 and Mar 2021.

Introduction: Candida species is the most common cause of invasive fungal infection. With the wide variation in species distribution and antifungal susceptibility of causative agents, local epidemiological profiles are needed to provide effective guidelines for the treatment of invasive candidiasis.

Objective: To find out the species distribution and antifungal susceptibilities of Candida strains isolated from patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) of Vietnam.

Background: Vaginal candidiasis is frequent in women of reproductive age. Accurate identification Candida provides helpful information for successful therapy and epidemiology study; however, there are very limited data from the Vietnam have been reported. This study was performed to determine the prevalence, species distribution of yeast causing vaginal discharge and antifungal susceptibility patterns of Candida albicans among symptomatic non-pregnant women of reproductive age.

A patient with extensive burn injuries was admitted to the National Hospital of Burns in Hanoi, Vietnam, and diagnosed with fungal wound infection by histological examination of skin biopsy samples. was isolated and identified by analysis of its morphological features and the sequence of the internal transcribed spacer region. The isolation showed in vitro resistant to fluconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, amphotericin B, and caspofungin.

  • This study investigates the prevalence and serotypes of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) in the vaginal swabs of pregnant women in Nghe An province, Vietnam, as there have been no prior reports on this in the region.
  • Vaginal swabs were collected from 750 pregnant women at a local hospital, and GBS presence was identified through specific culturing and testing methods, revealing a colonization rate of 9.20%.
  • The most common serotypes found were III, V, Ia, and VI, with a notable high frequency of serotype VI, indicating some variation from global data on GBS serotypes.
