The authors analyze the prevalence of nosocomial infections in their facility between 1999 and 2006. The annual rates ranged from 1.92 % to 4.24 %, with an average prevalence of 3.12 %. The most frequent were wound infections, febrile conditions associated with positive blood culture and urinary tract infections. In nosocomial infections, the average length of hospitalization increased by a factor of 3.5 and treatment costs rose. Sporadically, multiresistant strains were detected, such as MRSA, MRCoNS, ESBL+ Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp., Enterobacter spp. and E. coli. Measures preventing infections from spread are of crucial importance. These are concerned with the source of infection, medical supplies, breaking the route of transmission, protection of susceptible individuals and detected nosocomial infections.

Background Objectives: Co-infection of dengue virus and acute hepatitis A virus in paediatric population is a major health concern in endemic countries. This cross sectional retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of hepatitis A virus among the clinically dengue suspected paediatric cases presented at our tertiary care centre during the two-year period (2022-2023).
Methods: A total of 747 dengue suspected paediatric clinical specimens were included in this study.

Unlabelled: Despite the prevalence and severity of enterococcal bacteremia (EcB), the mechanisms underlying systemic host responses to the disease remain unclear. Here, we present an extensive study that profiles molecular differences in plasma from EcB patients using an unbiased multi-omics approach. We performed shotgun proteomics and metabolomics on 105 plasma samples, including those from EcB patients and healthy volunteers.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a flavivirus of significant epidemiological importance, utilizing various transmission strategies and infecting "immune privileged tissues" during both the pre- and postnatal periods. One such transmission method may involve extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs can travel long distances without degrading, carrying complex messages that trigger different responses in recipient cells.

Objective: Patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) complicated by carbapenem-resistant (CRE) infection often have a higher mortality rate. However, little investigation on the risk factor analysis has been published for the AP complicated by CRE. Therefore, this study conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and molecular epidemiological features associated with CRE infection in patients with AP.

Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening disease associated with a high mortality rate, emphasizing the need for the exploration of novel models to predict the prognosis of this patient population. This study compared the performance of traditional logistic regression and machine learning models in predicting adult sepsis mortality.
Objective: To develop an optimum model for predicting the mortality of adult sepsis patients based on comparing traditional logistic regression and machine learning methodology.
