Data assessing the diagnostic accuracies of use different respiratory samples for detection novel influenza A/H1N1 2009 virus by molecular methods are lacking. The objective this study was to compare sensitivity combined nose and throat swabs (CNTS) with that nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA). This a prospective adults children suspected influenza. Real-time reverse transcriptase PCR testing used virological diagnosis. Of 2,473 patients included, 264 paired CNTS NPA were randomly selected....
Objectives Infection with co-pathogens is one of the postulated factors contributing to persistent inflammation and non-AIDS events in virologically-suppressed HIV-infected patients. We aimed investigate relationship human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8), a vasculotropic virus implicated pathogenesis Kaposi's sarcoma, subclinical atherosclerosis Methods Prospective study including virologically suppressed Several blood biomarkers (highly-sensitive C-reactive protein [hsCRP], tumour necrosis factor-α,...
Cefiderocol is a novel siderophore-conjugated cephalosporin developed for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial (GNB) infections. However, current gold standard cefiderocol susceptibility testing, broth microdilution (BMD) using iron-depleted cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth, presents challenges many microbiology laboratories. In this study, we evaluate real-world performance disc diffusion (DD) and commercial BMD method (ComASP
We investigated the relationship of Herpesviridiae with inflammation and subclinical atherosclerosis in HIV-infected patients.Prospective study including virologically suppressed patients. IgG antibodies against herpesviruses, carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), endothelial function through flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) brachial artery, blood biomarkers (hsCRP, TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1, MDA, sCD14, sCD163, VCAM-1, ICAM-1, D-dimer, PAI-1) were measured.136 patients HIV viral load <200 copies/ml...
ABSTRACT Background Performance of point-of-care tests in clinical practice remains undetermined. We aimed to evaluate the performance nasopharyngeal Panbio COVID-19 antigen Rapid Test Device real-life conditions different scenarios. Method Prospective study conducted three primary care centers (PCC) and an emergency department. The test was performed at nasal swabs, saliva. Positive negative percent agreement (PPA, NPA) were calculated with RT-PCR assay as reference standard. Results Of 913...
Objective We aimed to assess the role of procalcitonin (PCT) guide initial selection antibiotic regimen for low-risk community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods A single-arm clinical trial was conducted including outpatients with CAP and Pneumonia Severity Index risk classes I-II. Antimicrobial based on results PCT measured a rapid point-of-care testing. According serum levels, patients were assigned two treatment strategies: oral azithromycin if <0.5 ng/ml, or levofloxacin levels ≥0.5...
Abstract Background We aimed to assess the relationship between sexually transmitted infections (STIs)—including a large panel of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes—and high-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia (HGAIN) in men who have sex with (MSM) were living immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Methods In prospective study an HIV cohort, participants underwent high-resolution anoscopy (HRA) for anorectal swabs collection investigate STIs and biopsy. Multiplex real-time polymerase chain...
We describe what we believe to be the first case of biliary sepsis caused by Acinetobacter ursingii. The patient was a healthy woman with no comorbidities who presented choledocholithiasis and cholangitis. performance an endoscopic cholangiopancreatography trigger for A. ursingii bacteraemia. This report highlights inadequacies conventional phenotypic tests usually available in clinical microbiology laboratories identification species.
Negative urine cultures to rule out urinary tract infections (UTI) generate a considerable laboratory workload; thus, rapid screening test is desirable. We evaluated the performance of new automated microscopy analyzer, cobas u 701 (Roche Diagnostics International, Rotkreuz, Switzerland) for UTI, and developed rule-out strategy reduce number samples requiring culture. also assessed squamous epithelial cell (SEC) count as predictor culture contamination.In total, 1,604 from outpatients were...
