Article Synopsis
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) tied to cytomegalovirus infection can be hard to identify in healthy adults because it’s rare and its symptoms are often mild, resembling infectious mononucleosis.
  • Patients may primarily report lower abdominal pain, which can distract from finding the underlying cause.
  • A thorough examination for symptoms beyond the abdominal area is crucial to making the correct diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
  • Non-gonococcal STIs include chlamydia, syphilis, and chancroid, with chlamydia being the most prevalent and potentially leading to serious health issues like infertility if untreated.
  • Syphilis has multiple stages and is increasingly common in the U.S., causing severe health complications if left untreated, including risks of fetal death in pregnant women.
  • Chancroid, characterized by painful ulcers, is becoming less common globally and can be distinguished from syphilitic sores by their painful nature; recent guidelines for these infections have been released in 2023 for Korea.

Risk of Tuberculosis and Hepatitis B Reactivation in Patients With Crohn's Disease on Ustekinumab: A Nationwide Real-World Study.

Inflamm Bowel Dis

January 2024

Department of Gastroenterology, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.

Background: Ustekinumab (UST) was approved in China for moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease (CD) in 2020. The prevalence rates of tuberculosis and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection are high in China, and no guideline clearly states that tuberculosis chemoprophylaxis or prophylactic anti-HBV therapy should be prescribed before UST administration. This study aimed to assess the risk of tuberculosis and HBV reactivation in CD patients with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and previous HBV infection receiving UST.

Bayesian accuracy estimates and fit for purpose thresholds of cytology and culture of endometrial swab samples for detecting endometritis in mares.

Prev Vet Med

December 2022

Department of Pathobiology and Population Sciences, The Royal Veterinary College, University of London, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom; Département de pathologie et microbiologie, Faculté de médecine vétérinaire, Université de Montréal, Saint-Hyacinthe, Québec, Canada. Electronic address:

The overall aim of this work was to identify the potential impact of misclassification errors associated with routine screening and diagnostic testing for endometritis in mares. Using Bayesian latent class models (BLCM), specific objectives were to: 1) estimate the diagnostic accuracy of cytology and culture of endometrial swab samples to detect endometritis in mares; 2) assess the impact of different cytology thresholds on test accuracy and misclassification costs; and 3) assess the sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of a diagnostic strategy including both tests interpreted in series and parallel. Diagnostic and pre-breeding endometrial swab samples collected from 3448 mares based at breeding premises located in the South East of England between 2014 and 2020 were retrospectively analysed.
