Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how HIV affects the severity of mpox outcomes in a large group of patients from 18 hospitals in Spain, focusing on factors like duration of illness and the presence of complications.
- - Out of 1,823 patients with PCR-confirmed mpox, around 43% were people living with HIV, with a significant portion having uncontrolled viral loads, leading to higher rates of long or complicated mpox.
- - The findings suggest that individuals with uncontrolled HIV are at increased risk for severe mpox complications, highlighting the need for timely HIV testing and immediate antiretroviral therapy for those diagnosed.
Introduction: Despite the increasing importance of infections due to multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), there is a lack of comprehensive information about the burden of disease and outcomes of key infections caused by these pathogens. The aim of the ABOUT-MDRO (A systematic review on the burden and outcomes of infections due to multidrug resitant organisms) project is to provide estimations of the burden of some key infections and their outcomes caused by the target MDROs.
Methods And Analysis: A systematic literature search will be performed using MEDLINE/PubMed, Elsevier's SCOPUS, Cochrane library, Clinical trials and Web of Science, as well as the Surveillance Systems from Public Health Institutions and Scientific Societies for Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare-Associated Infections in Europe database of European surveillance systems, for data on prevalence/incidence, mortality and length of stay of target infections in hospitalised patients (including ventilator-associated pneumonia, hospital-acquired pneumonia, complicated intra-abdominal infections, complicated urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections and bloodstream infections) and in specific populations (children, hospital wards, neutropenic patients) caused by cephalosporin-resistant or carbapenem-resistant , carbapenem-resistant and spp.
