A survey was performed to investigate the infection status of freshwater fish with zoonotic trematode metacercariae in Phnom Penh and Pursat Province, Cambodia. All collected fish with ice were transferred to our laboratory and examined using the artificial digestion method. In fish from Phnom Penh, 2 kinds of metacercariae (Opisthorchis viverrini and Haplorchis yokogawai) were detected. O. viverrini metacercariae were positive in 37 (50.0%) of 74 fish in 11 species (average no. metacercariae/fish, 18.6). H. yokogawai metacercariae were detected in 23 (57.5%) of 40 fish in 5 species (average no. metacercariae/fish, 21.0). In fish from Pursat Province, 5 kinds of metacercariae (O. viverrini, H. yokogawai, Haplorchis pumilio, Centrocestus formosanus, and Procerovum sp.) were detected; O. viverrini metacercariae (n=3) in 2 fish species (Henicorhynchus lineatus and Puntioplites falcifer), H. yokogawai metacercariae (n=51) in 1 species (P. falcifer), H. pumilio metacercariae (n=476) in 2 species (H. lineatus and Pristolepis fasciata), C. formosanus metacercariae (n=1) in 1 species (H. lineatus), and Procerovum sp. metacercariae (n=63) in 1 species (Anabas testudineus). From the above results, it has been confirmed that various freshwater fish play the role of a second intermediate host for zoonotic trematodes (O. viverrini, H. yokogawai, H. pumilio, C. formosanus, and Procerovum sp.) in Cambodia.

Long-term risk of mortality and loss to follow-up in children and adolescents on antiretroviral therapy in Asia.
HIV Med
September 2024
The Kirby Institute, UNSW Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Objective: We described mortality and loss to follow-up (LTFU) in children and adolescents who were under care for more than 5 years following initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART).
Methods: Patients were followed from 5 years after ART until the earlier of their 25th birthday, last visit, death, or LTFU. We used Cox regression to assess predictors of mortality and competing risk regression to assess factors associated with LTFU.
High prevalence of ceftriaxone-resistant and XDR in several cities of Cambodia, 2022-23: WHO Enhanced Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme (EGASP).

Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global health issue, particularly for gonorrhoea treatment, with ceftriaxone being the last effective option, yet resistance cases from Asia have been reported.
- A study conducted by the WHO in Cambodia analyzed 437 male patients from January 2022 to June 2023, revealing resistance rates of 15.4% for ceftriaxone and high levels for other antibiotics, including 6.2% of samples being extensively drug-resistant (XDR).
- The findings emphasize the urgent need for improved AMR surveillance, updates to treatment protocols, mandatory follow-up testing, and the development of new antibiotics to effectively combat gonorrhoea.
Changes in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk over time among people living with HIV.
J Antimicrob Chemother
April 2024
Kirby Institute, UNSW Sydney, Sydney, Australia.
Objective: To describe changes in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk over time among people living with HIV (PLHIV).
Methods: We used data from the TREAT Asia HIV Observational Database (TAHOD) and the Australian HIV Observational Database (AHOD). Five-year ASCVD risk was calculated using the D:A:D equation.
