Published: February 2024

Unlabelled: Infection caused by ha s rapidly become a global health threat. created a significant healthcare burden due to various complicating factors, including misidentification by commercial identification methods, potent antifungal resistance, high mortality rates and the possibility of nosocomial outbreaks through direct contact. In Vietnam, there are currently no clinical reports on infections. Here, we present four clinical cases of infections in the Department of Pulmonary Medicine of Cho Ray Hospital in southern Vietnam. Through this report, we aim to highlight the attention to the emergence of in Vietnam. Further research on infections is warranted, focusing on newly observed clinical characteristics present in all cases in this report, including hypoalbuminaemia and corticosteroid usage. Moreover, one case of resistance to amphotericin B has been identified, possibly due to prior exposure to this antifungal agent.

Learning Points: Further research on infections is warranted, focusing on newly observed clinical features present in all cases in this report, including hypoalbuminaemia and corticosteroid use during hospitalisation.While remains susceptible to commonly used antifungal drugs, one case of resistance to amphotericin B has been documented, possibly due to prior exposure to this antifungal agent.

Current update on the neurological manifestations of long COVID: more questions than answers.

EXCLI J

November 2024

Second Department of Neurology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, School of Medicine, "Attikon" University Hospital, Athens, Greece.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a global surge in patients presenting with prolonged or late-onset debilitating sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, colloquially termed long COVID. This narrative review provides an updated synthesis of the latest evidence on the neurological manifestations of long COVID, discussing its clinical phenotypes, underlying pathophysiology, while also presenting the current state of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Approximately one-third of COVID-19 survivors experience prolonged neurological sequelae that persist for at least 12-months post-infection, adversely affecting patients' quality of life.

In vitro long-term exposure to chlorhexidine or triclosan induces cross-resistance against azoles in Nakaseomyces glabratus.

Antimicrob Resist Infect Control

January 2025

Division of Clinical Microbiology, Department of Laboratory Medicine, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, 1090, Austria.

Background: Topical antiseptics are crucial for preventing infections and reducing transmission of pathogens. However, commonly used antiseptic agents have been reported to cause cross-resistance to other antimicrobials in bacteria, which has not yet been described in yeasts. This study aims to assess the in vitro efficacy of antiseptics against clinical and reference isolates of Candida albicans and Nakaseomyces glabratus, and whether prolonged exposure to antiseptics promotes the development of antifungal (cross)resistance.

Background: Antiretroviral drugs are essential for preventing mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV in HIV-infected pregnant women. However, ART treatment for HIV-infected pregnant women with multidrug resistance remains a major challenge. Effective and safe ART regimens for preventing MTCT should be tailored to this special population.

Background: Bacterial meningitis (BM) is a life-threatening central nervous system infection with potential for severe neurological sequelae. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is known as a late inflammatory mediator associated with lethal pathology. This study aims to investigate the serial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of HMGB1 in children with BM and its relationship to neurological prognosis.
