Early onset neonatal bloodstream infections in South African hospitals.
BMC Infect Dis
January 2025
Department of Paediatrics and Child Health, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Stellenbosch University, PO Box 241, Cape Town, 8000, South Africa.
Article Synopsis
- Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of death in low- and middle-income countries, worsened by rising antibiotic resistance affecting standard treatments.
- A study analyzed 136 episodes of early onset bloodstream infections (EO-BSI) in neonates from various hospitals in South Africa, revealing a significant prevalence among preterm and low birth weight infants.
- The research found that the overall effectiveness of the recommended antibiotic regimen was only moderate, and neonates with Gram-negative infections had a much higher risk of mortality if their treatment didn't align with the pathogens identified.
[Recommendations for clinical practice: Prevention and management of varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection during pregnancy and the perinatal period (extended version)].

The Société de Pathologie Infectieuse de Langue Française released in 2024 a new national recommendation for clinical practice on the prevention and management of varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection during pregnancy and the perinatal period. The previous recommendation was issued in 1998, at a time of anti-VZV immunoglobulins shortage; it has hence become obsolete. This recommendation is a formalized expert consensus focusing on infectious diseases management; it is drawn up by a multidisciplinary working group (infectiologists, obstetricians, pediatricians, microbiologists, midwives, hygienists).

This study investigated cases of pregnancy-related listeriosis in British Columbia (BC), Canada, from 2005 to 2014. We described all diagnosed cases in pregnant women ( = 15) and neonates ( = 7), estimated the excess healthcare costs associated with listeriosis, and calculated the fraction of stillbirths attributable to listeriosis, and mask cell sizes 1-5 due to data requirements. Pregnant women had a median gestational age of 31 weeks at listeriosis onset (range: 20-39) and on average delivered at a median of 37 weeks gestation (range: 20-40).

Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Hospital Materno-Infantil, Hospital Regional Universitario Málaga, Avenue Arroyo de los Ángeles S/N, 29011 Málaga, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates listeriosis, a disease caused by a Gram-positive bacterium, particularly focusing on its impact on pregnant women, who have a higher risk of severe outcomes, with symptoms like fever and abdominal pain being common.
- - A retrospective analysis of six confirmed listeriosis cases at Hospital Materno Infantil de Málaga revealed complications such as intrauterine death, but antibiotic treatment showed positive results.
- - The findings highlight the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to enhance outcomes for both mothers and their babies, as untreated listeriosis can lead to severe fetal complications, including prematurity and infections.
CD71 erythroid cells promote multiple myeloma progression and impair anti-bacterial immune response.

Multiple myeloma (MM), one of the most frequent haematological malignancies, significantly increases the risk of bacterial infections due to treatment-related side effects, comorbidities and cancer-induced immune deficiencies. Recently, CD71 erythroid cells (CECs) have been identified as key immunomodulators in neonates and cancer patients, but their role in MM progression remains unclear. Using a murine MM model, closely resembling human disease, we observed that MM progression is associated with anaemia and an increase in immature CECs, which are characterized by elevated arginase 2 (ARG2) expression.
