December 2024
Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) caused by viridans and gallolyticus group streptococci (VGS-GGS) resistant to penicillin (PEN-R; minimum inhibitory concentration ≥4 mg/L) is rare but poses therapeutic challenges.
Objectives: To describe the characteristics of patients with IE caused by PEN-R VGS-GGS, focusing on antimicrobial management.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort of definite IE caused by PEN-R VGS-GGS between 2008 and 2023 in 40 Spanish hospitals.
Missed opportunities in the early detection of HIV infection in patients with sexually transmitted infections: A real-life study.

Introduction: Sexually transmitted diseases such as cervicitis, proctitis and urethritis are associated with high rates of HIV infection. When these pathologies are suspected, HIV serology should be requested.
Material And Methods: A retrospective study was performed during 2018 at the Hospital Costa del Sol (Marbella, Málaga, Spain).
Article Synopsis
- Infliximab is considered the most effective anti-TNF treatment for ulcerative colitis (UC), but there is limited information on its use as a second anti-TNF option.
- This study analyzed 473 UC patients to compare outcomes between those receiving their first anti-TNF treatment via intravenous (IV) versus subcutaneous (SC) routes.
- Results showed similar clinical response and remission rates after 14 and 52 weeks, suggesting that while a second anti-TNF can be effective, prior failure of the first anti-TNF significantly impacts long-term success.
