Article Synopsis
- * Researchers in France from 2000 to 2010 used genetic typing methods to study the diversity of this pathogen in humans, cattle, and wildlife, revealing varied genetic patterns.
- * Findings indicate that most human infections likely originated abroad or were reactivations rather than local strains, yet some genetic similarities between human and cattle isolates were identified, highlighting the need for global control efforts.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the diagnosis and treatment outcomes of multidrug-resistant osteoarticular tuberculosis (MDR-OATB) in France, based on a review of 23 cases from 2007 to 2018.
- - Most affected patients were young males, with the spine being the most common site of infection; a significant portion had prior tuberculosis treatments.
- - Despite a high treatment success rate (91%) achieved with a mean regimen of four drugs over approximately 20 months, the ideal treatment protocol for MDR-OATB, including drug combinations and surgical options, is still not established.
Background: Recent studies report very low adherence of practitioners to ATS/IDSA recommendations for the treatment of nontuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease (NTM-PD), as well as a great variability of practices. Type of management could impact prognosis.
Methods: To evaluate management and prognosis of patients with NTM-PD cases with respect to ATS recommendations, we conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study (18 sentinel sites distributed throughout France), over a period of six years.
Background: Pollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS) is a frequently underdiagnosed disease due to diverse triggers, clinical presentations, and test results. This is especially relevant in geographic areas with a broad spectrum of pollen sensitization, such as Southern Europe.
Objectives: To elucidate similarities and differences of PFAS in nine Southern European centers and identify associated characteristics and unique markers of PFAS.
Background: The adequate definition of pollen seasons is essential to facilitate a correct diagnosis, treatment choice, and outcome assessment in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis. A position paper by the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) proposed season definitions for Northern and Middle Europe.
Objective: To test the pollen season definitions proposed by EAACI in six Mediterranean cities for seven pollen taxa.
Background: eMAG™ (bioMerieux) is a new nucleic acid extraction platform based on magnetic silica technology, like its predecessor, NucliSENS easyMAG (bioMerieux). Using the same reagents and disposables, eMAG™ adds further automation, allowing simultaneous extraction of 48 samples directly from primary tubes, and distribution of nucleic acid extracts on PCR strips or in tubes at the end of the extraction process.
Objective: To compare the performance of eMAG™ and easyMAG on various clinical specimens.
A case of fulminant disseminated varicella is reported in a 28-year-old immunocompetent man. He developed hepatitis, severe pneumonia, rhabdomyolysis and disseminated intravascular coagulation, followed by encephalopathy and multiorgan failure despite acyclovir therapy. He spent a total of 3.
