Article Synopsis
- Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are common and lead to unnecessary antibiotic use; this study examines a new method to accurately diagnose bacterial pneumonia using clinical scores, lung ultrasound, and a biomarker called procalcitonin (PCT).* -
- The PLUS-IS-LESS study, conducted in 10 emergency departments in Switzerland, will test the effectiveness of the PLUS algorithm, which combines various diagnostic tools, against standard care to see if it reduces antibiotic prescriptions while keeping patients safe.* -
- By optimizing antibiotic prescribing through reliable diagnostics and ensuring safety, the PLUS algorithm aims to enhance treatment outcomes and gather data on factors like quality of life, hospital stays, and cost-effectiveness in LRTI cases.*

Pediatric acute appendicitis (PAA) involves a substantial consumption of health and economic resources. The identification of serum biomarkers that may help predict the post-surgical evolution of these patients is a field of great interest. This was a prospective, observational substudy within the Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Appendicitis in Pediatrics (BIDIAP) cohort aimed at evaluating the association between post-surgical increase in serum IL-6 and different outcomes related to the clinical evolution of children operated on for PAA.

The global emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens is shaping the current dogma regarding the use of antibiotherapy. Many bacteria have evolved to become resistant to conventional antibiotherapy, representing a health and economic burden for those afflicted. The search for alternative and complementary therapeutic approaches has intensified and revived phage therapy.
