Surveillance of hemodialysis related infections: a prospective multicenter study.

As in many countries, there is neither a surveillance system nor a study to reveal the hemodialysis (HD) related infection rates in Turkey. We aimed to investigate the infection rate among HD outpatients and implement CDC's surveillance system. A multicenter prospective surveillance study is performed to investigate the infection rate among HD patients.

Evaluation of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on mucormycosis studies with bibliometric analysis.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated mucormycosis (CAM) is a relatively new concept in the literature that emerged during the pandemic. Bibliometric analysis is a type of analysis that uses mathematical and statistical methods to study the formal properties of knowledge areas. This study aimed to reveal the main themes, conceptual structures, and trends of bibliometric studies on mucormycosis in 2 different periods, pre-and during the pandemic.

[Treatment with Intravenous Acyclovir Desensitization for Severe Acyclovir Allergy: A Case of Herpes Encephalitis].

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a sporadic viral encephalitis agent that causes high mortality and morbidity, accompanied by neurological dysfunction findings. Acyclovir is the only antiviral treatment option that should be initiated in all patients with suspected encephalitis as soon as possible. Acyclovir is rarely possible to cause allergic reactions.

Is the course of COVID-19 associated with tuberculin skin test diameter? A retrospective study.

The pathogenesis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is still not fully understood. As severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) has a similar pathogenetic pathway to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, it has been reported that there may be a relationship between Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination rate and COVID-19 severity. This study investigated the relationship between tuberculin skin test (TST) induration diameter and the clinical course of COVID-19.

Clinical importance and cost of bacteremia caused by nosocomial multi drug resistant acinetobacter baumannii.

Background: A. baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen associated with high mortality, morbidity and medical cost.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for MDR A.

Tularemia during pregnancy: three cases.

Limited knowledge is available regarding tularemia in pregnancy. A total of seven tularemia cases in pregnant women have been published in the literature. This report presents three new cases.

Relationship between total thiol status and thrombocytopenia in patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever.

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum total thiol level and total oxidant status (TOS) and thrombocytopenia among patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF). Eighty-three subjects and 56 controls were enrolled in the study. Thiol levels were measured with the DTNB method and TOS was measured with the Erel's method among subjects and controls.
