Women with persistent/recurrent vaginal discharge should be offered multiplex-7 PCR testing.

Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol

January 2025

Feto Maternal Centre, Al Markhiya, Doha, Qatar; Weill Cornell Medicine, Qatar; University of Leicester, UK. Electronic address:

Background: Recurrent vaginal discharge is an important cause of repeated visits to the gynaecologists. Failure to correctly identify the causative organism with standard microscopy and culture techniques results in repeated unsuccessful treatment and the risk of developing antibiotic resistance. Multiplex PCR test is increasingly being used for investigating infections where multiple organisms may be involved.

There are two main classifications for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP): immune and hereditary. The majority of TTP cases are immune in nature and are due to inhibitor autoantibodies against ADAMTS13. Hereditary TTP is caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the ADAMTS13 gene.

Thyroid Abscess: A Very Rare Entity in Child.

Ann Afr Med

November 2024

Department of Pediatric A, Mohammed VI University Hospital and Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Cadi Ayad University, Marrakech, Morocco.

Article Synopsis
  • Thyroid abscess is a rare but serious emergency in children, with mortality rates of 3.7%-9% in cases of acute suppurative thyroiditis, making prompt diagnosis and treatment crucial.
  • A 7-year-old girl presented with fever and neck stiffness, revealing a thyroid abscess connected to a piriform sinus fistula, leading to successful treatment with antibiotics and surgery.
  • The case emphasizes the importance of fast and accurate medical intervention to avoid complications, given the unusual nature of thyroid abscesses and their low recurrence rates.

Introduction: Different initial manifestations of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAP) may depend on the type of pathogenic organism. We investigated the association between the clinical characteristics of PDAP and susceptibility to vancomycin and investigated the possibility of using vancomycin monotherapy alone as an initial treatment regimen for some PDAP patients to avoid unnecessary antibiotic exposure and secondary infection.

Methods: Patients with culture-positive PDAP were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups: peritonitis with only cloudy effluent (PDAP-cloudy) or with cloudy effluent, abdominal pain and/or fever (PDAP-multi).

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers found higher mRNA levels of RNF4 and SART3 in SCZ patients compared to controls and identified specific genetic variants (SNPs) related to increased SCZ risk.
  • * Experiments suggested that SART3 regulates RNF4 expression through ubiquitination, indicating a potential shared mechanism influencing SCZ risk, which could help in developing new treatment strategies.
