Background: Psittacosis is a zoonotic disease with a low incidence rate and a lack of specificity in clinical manifestations, making it prone to be missed, misdiagnosed, and even cause delayed treatment for patients. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) was successfully performed for the diagnosis of a young patient with psittacosis progressing to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and precisely targeted antibiotic treatment was promptly administered. Additionally, a comprehensive review was conducted on 68 cases of psittacosis complicated with ARDS, with the goal of improving the clinical awareness of this disease.

The diagnosis of streptococcal throat infection is an area where current practice results in significant over-diagnosis of bacterial infection, with the resulting implications for antimicrobial use and resistance. The use of molecular point of care testing (POCT) has previously been shown to alter antibiotic prescribing decisions when compared to Centor scoring. This paper explores the impact of the addition of POCT to clinical assessment using the McIsaac and FeverPAIN scoring systems.

This anaerobic pathogen, commonly associated with Lemierre's syndrome, can lead to joint infections, posing risks for severe morbidity if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Awareness and timely intervention are essential for preventing long-term joint damage.

Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance is a growing concern, largely due to improper antibiotic use, storage, and re-use by residents of Saudi Arabia, leading to serious health risks.
- A study surveyed 738 participants across various demographics, revealing that while most understood the purpose of antibiotics, a significant number reused leftover medications without completing prescribed courses.
- Findings suggest a need for enhanced public health measures and education to address the misuse of antibiotics, especially among families with children.
