Article Synopsis
- - The case involves a patient from Guinea-Conakry who was diagnosed with a pulmonary infection caused by Schistosoma mansoni, a type of parasitic worm.
- - Key indicators for diagnosis included high eosinophil counts in the blood, positive tests for antibodies, and the presence of multiple nodules in the lungs, despite negative stool and urine tests for the parasite.
- - Ultimately, the diagnosis was confirmed using a specific serum PCR test, which detects the genetic material of the parasite.
Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed 151 cases of mediastinitis at Strasbourg University Hospital, focusing on patient demographics, infection sources, and treatment outcomes over a decade.
- Cases included poststernotomy mediastinitis (PSM), mediastinitis from esophageal perforation (MEP), and descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM), with distinct microbial profiles noted: PSM was mostly caused by staphylococci, while MEP and DNM showed a mix of organisms from digestive or oral sources.
- The findings indicated a median anti-infective treatment duration of 41 days and a 1-year survival rate of 64.8%, highlighting the importance of understanding infection origins for better management strategies.
Objectives: Suppressive antibiotic therapy (SAT) is a long-term antibiotic strategy at times applied when an indicated surgical management of infective endocarditis (IE) is not possible. Our aim was to describe the characteristics and outcomes of patients having received SAT for IE.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational study at Strasbourg University Hospital, France between January 2020 and May 2023.
Article Synopsis
- There has been a significant rise in syphilis cases, particularly among the male population who have sex with men (MSM), including those living with HIV and on PrEP, highlighting an urgent public health concern.
- A study analyzed data from French cohorts from 2010 to 2020, revealing a 19.9% prevalence of syphilis among people living with HIV and a 25.8% prevalence among PrEP users, with higher rates in older individuals and MSM.
- The findings emphasize the need for enhanced syphilis screening and targeted behavioral counseling for high-risk groups to tackle the increasing incidence of syphilis infections.
The genus Fusarium is largely represented in fungal infections, not only mostly in plants but also in humans. Fungi belonging to the Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC) are those that are most frequently isolated in invasive fusariosis and present elevated minimum inhibitory concentrations for the main antifungal drugs used in medicine. This study is the first to investigate the resistance mechanism in FSSC by monitoring CYP51A expression in the presence of azole antifungals.
