Treatment of bacteremia caused by methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci with vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration ≥2 mg/L frequently requires central venous catheter removal in children with cancer. There are few data supporting efficacy and safety of antibiotic catheter lock or use of daptomycin or linezolid for this indication in children.

Background: Venous waveform analysis is an emerging technique to estimate intravascular fluid status by fast Fourier transform deconvolution. Fluid status has been shown proportional to , the amplitude of the fundamental frequency of the waveform's cardiac wave upon deconvolution. Using a porcine model of distributive shock and fluid resuscitation, we sought to determine the influence of norepinephrine on of the central venous waveform.

Background: Vancomycin has been the preferred treatment for MRSA infections. However, newer drugs are necessary due to the increasing prevalence of MRSA isolates that are less susceptible to vancomycin. Levonadifloxacin its a prodrug alalevonadifloxacin, novel quinolones with broad spectrum anti-MRSA activity.

Introduction: Acute appendicitis and acute cholecystitis are two of the most commonly encountered surgical entities. Multiple hypotheses are behind their coexistence, which include pathogen predilection, and mucosal ischemia inducing portal vein bacteremia as the management of uncomplicated acute cholecystitis and acute appendicitis is surgical, for which a single operation for synchronous presentation is effective. Here, we report a case with coexistent acute cholecystitis and acute appendicitis managed at our institution.

Coagulase-negative (CoNS) is a rare cause of UTIs in children and is often regarded as a contaminant in urine samples. We report a case of acute focal bacterial nephritis (AFBN) and bacteremia caused by following an upper respiratory infection in a pediatric patient. The patient, a four-year-old girl, presented with fever, cough, and a runny nose two days before being referred to our hospital due to persistent fever and poor oral intake.
