Abstract Background Whether the combination of antimicrobial therapy is a factor in mortality Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia remains to be elucidated. This study investigated risk factors for P. patients and influence adequate on clinical outcomes. Methods retrospective analyzed data 234 with at 1,200-bed tertiary teaching university hospital South Korea between January 2010 December 2012. Factors associated were determined. Mortality was compared empirical targeted therapy, monotherapy,...
Purpose: Bacteremia is a major infectious complication associated with mortality in liver transplant recipients.The causative organisms and clinical courses differ between medical centers due to variations regional bacterial epidemiology posttransplant care.Further, living donors Korea contribute 83% of transplants, individualized data are required improve survival rates.Patients Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 104 subjects who had undergone living-donor from 2005 2007.Results: Among...
Lonely death is defined as "a person living in a state of social isolation, disconnected from family, relatives, and others, who dies suicide, illness, or other causes." This study investigated the characteristics individuals die alone Korea. We constructed database lonely cases by linking data Korea Crime Scene Investigation Unit National Police Agency with Health Insurance Service (NHIS) records. A descriptive analysis was performed to evaluate demographics, underlying diseases, healthcare...
Importance In combination with a decreased risk of AIDS-defining cancers and improved survival people infected HIV, the burden non–AIDS-defining cancer has increased markedly. Although substantial number studies have measured among HIV in developed countries, little research been conducted on HIV-infected Asia. Objective To examine incidence estimated Korea compared general population. Design, Setting, Participants This retrospective cohort study evaluated patients without newly diagnosed...
Klebsiella pneumoniae-associated liver abscess (KPLA) is often accompanied by extrahepatic complications. We investigated the clinical features and outcomes of patients with without metastatic infections compared 2 groups.We retrospectively reviewed medical records 161 KPLA who were admitted to tertiary referral hospitals in Korea.In total, 9.9% had a infection. The most commonly involved distant sites eyes (n = 7) lungs 6). In multivariate analysis, diabetes mellitus as an underlying...
Recently, the American Thoracic Society/Infectious Diseases Society of America/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advised against performing interferon-γ-release assay (IGRA) test individuals with a low risk TB, also recommended retesting low-risk an initial positive IGRA result. However, to evaluate both sensitivity specificity available tests, we compared performance Standard E TB-Feron (TBF) QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) assays in healthcare workers (HCWs) tuberculosis (TB)...
Abstract The beginning of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection treatment depends on various factors, which are significantly correlated with the initial CD4 cell number. However, a covariate correlation between these factors may not reflect correct outcome variable. Thus, we evaluated effects combination fixed (reduced dimensions), determine when to start for first time, short-term outcome, long-term and survival, considering correlations factors. Multiple correspondence analysis was...
Abstract Background Screening for osteoporosis with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is recommended male HIV-infected patients only above the age of 50. Recently, trabecular bone score (TBS) has been introduced as a novel tool to assess microarchitecture using DXA lumbar spine. Few studies have reported TBS values in individuals younger than 50 years age. This study compared young males infected HIV and matched controls, investigated associations between demographic parameters,...
From December 2006 to 2016, 1093 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) individuals < 70 years enrolled in Korea virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) cohort were analyzed investigate the prevalence of HIV/HBV co-infection rate and hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) positive based on birth year. The HBV was highest (8.8%) patients born between 1960 1964 lowest (0%) among those 1995 1999. A decreasing linear trend observed according 5-year interval changes. HBsAb-positive only...
The Korean government is implementing policy to reduce medical costs and improve treatment related for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients. level of cost reduction the benefits provided vary depending on how individuals with HIV utilize system. This study aims determine exact prevalence by analyzing healthcare utilization patterns examining differences in usage based pay their expenses. We analyzed National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) claims data from 2002 2021. From a total...
Background: Healthcare workers(HCWs) are considered at risk for occupational transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. We carried out an in-hospital contact investigation index patient with pulmonary tuberculosis, and analyzed the prevalence latent (LTB) LTB conversion rate among HCWs in tertiary hospital intermediate TB endemic area. Methods & Materials: A prospective study was conducted 583 who were exposed 34 patients active tuberculosis. Contacts evaluated using...
AIDS related malignancies have gradually decreased after the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Nevertheless, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is still a major malignancy in resource limited countries that difficulty supplying HAART, and same holds true for Korea. We report case involving heart Korean patient, who presented with sudden arrhythmia superior vena cava syndrome. He was diagnosed 2008, but refused to receive HAART. Immunohistologic findings were compatible...
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) causes recurrent thromboses and morbidity during pregnancy, including fetal loss.This malady is associated with the persistent presence of anticardiolipin antibody or lupus anticoagulant.The pulmonary manifestations antiphospholipid include thromboembolism, hypertension, acute respiratory distress syndrome, etc. Pulmonary thromboembolism often initial manifestation a timely diagnosis critical due to high mortality rate.We herein report on 19-year-old man that...
Hepatoid adenocarcinoma was described by Ishikura in 1985 for the first time. It is a very rare variant of characterized morphological and functional features hepatocyte differentiation. most commonly presented as gastric with otherwise unexplained elevation serum alpha-fetoprotein level. Most patients hepatoid were diagnosed advanced stages having vascular invasion and/or extensive metastasis liver or lymph nodes. Accordingly, prognosis dismal. We experienced typical case clinical features.
