Objectives: Analysis of current 2023-2024 (Mp) infection characteristics in adults.
Methods: A retrospective case series analysis was performed on polymerase chain reaction-positive adult patients admitted to the University Hospital of Marseille from April 2017 to June 2024. Clinical presentations, treatments, and outcomes were assessed.
Article Synopsis
- Acute respiratory infections are a major global health issue, and more research is needed on the microorganisms causing these infections in various regions, particularly in Senegal.
- In a study of 500 febrile patients, researchers found that 73.2% had at least one detectable microorganism, with viruses and bacteria commonly identified, including influenza and RSV.
- The presence of certain microorganisms was linked to respiratory symptoms, and co-infections were also associated with more severe symptoms, highlighting the need for better diagnostic tools to adapt treatment strategies.
Objective: Given the recommendations against the use of critical incident stress debriefing, the emergency medical services (EMS) Code Lavender program was created as a mechanism to consistently recognize and reach out to EMS clinicians after acute crisis events, offer nonintrusive informal peer support and acts of kindness, and provide stepwise support via mental health professionals as needed. The study aimed to assess program utilization and evaluate the program's impact on EMS clinicians' perceptions of support and resources available to them after an acute crisis event.
Methods: Anonymous surveys were distributed before program implementation and 18 months later.
We report a large-scale outbreak of Mycoplasma pneumoniae respiratory infections encompassing 218 cases (0.8% of 26,449 patients tested) during 2023-2024 in Marseille, France. The bacterium is currently circulating and primarily affects children <15 years of age.
