- The study focuses on identifying adult patients, especially older adults, who are at low risk for central nervous system (CNS) infections, to potentially avoid unnecessary lumbar punctures (LP).
- Researchers analyzed data from 489 patients in the emergency room, finding that only 15.7% were diagnosed with CNS infections and identifying key factors that indicate a lower risk for these infections.
- Key factors such as being female, over 80 years old, having previous cognitive impairment, and lacking meningitis symptoms significantly predicted low risk, resulting in a diagnostic tool with a 98% positive predictive value for avoiding LP.
Purpose: The presence of a respiratory virus in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) may have an impact on the bacterial etiology and clinical presentation. In this study we aimed to assess the role of viral infection in the bacterial etiology and outcomes of patients with CAP.
Methods: We performed a retrospective study of all adults hospitalized with CAP between November 2017 and October 2018.
Infection after spinal instrumentation (IASI) by spp. is being more frequently reported. The aim of this study was to analyse the incidence, risk factors, clinical characteristics, and outcome of a spp.
