Nitrofurantoin is one of the most utilized antibiotics to treat bladder and urinary tract infections (UTIs). Despite the clinical benefits, it requires vigilant monitoring, as it can cause damage to multiple organs, especially the lungs and the liver. This case is an example of clinical vigilance, which provided tremendous benefit for the patient.

Article Synopsis
- * The study used various microbiological tests and high-throughput sequencing to analyze vaginal microbiota, revealing that women with PPROM had a higher presence of certain bacteria compared to those with normal full-term labor.
- * Results showed that an abnormal vaginal microbiome, characterized by specific opportunistic bacteria like E. coli and Streptococcus agalactiae, is a crucial risk factor for PPROM, indicating the importance of monitoring vaginal health in pregnancy.

Recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs) are highly prevalent health issues among women, significantly impacting their quality of life. Urethral pain or urethritis can arise from infectious or non-infectious origins. The presence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in the urogenital tract has been associated with high-risk sexual behaviors, but its presence in the female urethra without such behaviors has not been thoroughly investigated.

Malaria is one of most widespread infectious disease in world. The antimalarial therapy presents a series of limitations, such as toxicity and the emergence of resistance, which makes the search for new drugs urgent. Thus, it becomes necessary to explore essential and exclusive therapeutic targets of the parasite to achieve selective inhibition.

Background: Pulmonary toxicity has been associated with drug use. This is often not recognized in clinical practice, and underestimated.
Objective: We aimed to establish whether polymorphisms in certain genes corresponding with a metabolic pathway of drug(s) used are associated with pulmonary toxicity in patients with suspected drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DI-ILD).
