We compared outcomes and clinical characteristics of uncomplicated bacteremia planned for a 14-day or >14-day course of intravenous antibiotics. Treatment failure was infrequent in both groups (0% and 5%, respectively). Catheter-associated deep vein thrombosis, immunosuppression, and valvular dysfunction were associated with a longer planned duration of therapy.

Article Synopsis
- Acute appendicitis and acute cholecystitis often occur together, and surgical management is effective for both conditions when they present simultaneously.
- A 30-year-old female patient presented with abdominal pain and underwent imaging that confirmed the diagnoses, leading to a successful surgical intervention combining cholecystectomy and appendectomy.
- The case underscores the importance of recognizing the possibility of both conditions occurring together and utilizing established management guidelines for effective treatment.

Electronic address:
Objectives: The study aimed to explore a definition for complicated coagulase-negative staphylococci bloodstream infections (CoNS BSIs) and to identify predictors for mortality.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted from October 2016 to March 2017 in 26 Spanish hospitals. Complicated CoNS BSI criteria included lack of early catheter removal in catheter-related cases, foreign indwelling implant, persistent bacteraemia, fever ≥72 hours on active therapy, metastatic infection or deep-seated focus, and infective endocarditis.

Background: Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs) are common bacterial infections.
Aim: Evaluate the burden of uUTI in England for 1) potential determinants of disease progression; 2) extent and impact of antimicrobial prescribing non-concordant with treatment guidelines; and 3) economic burden and costs.
Design & Setting: Retrospective cohort study utilising patient data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) linked to English Hospital Episodes Statistics.
