Abstract Background Due to numerous structural factors, transgender (TG) individuals are disproportionately affected by HIV in the United States. Prioritizing PrEP for this population remains a priority. In 2020, only an estimated 3% of TG were taking PrEP. However, one study showed that women who had access gender-affirming care more likely discuss use with their healthcare provider. This aims evaluate prescription patterns among seen our integrated infectious disease and practice. Methods...
ABSTRACT Background People living with HIV have a higher waitlist mortality and decreased access to transplants. The enactment of the Organ Policy Equity Act (HOPE Act) in 2013 was step toward increasing donor population. However, utilization organs through act has been less than initially anticipated, both nationally at our center. Methods To improve acceptance abdominal from donors positive tests (D+) for recipients (R+), we implemented multidisciplinary educational intervention center...
Objective A rise in incidence of STIs has been noted the USA and District Columbia (DC). We aim to describe changes incident among persons care for HIV Washington, DC as well trends viral load those with STIs. Methods conducted a retrospective Cohort analysis (n=7810) measuring STI (syphilis, gonorrhoea chlamydia) incare (ICVL) percentage all loads less than limit detection (%<LLOD) by year (2012–2016) Results From 2012 2016, increased: chlamydia from 2.1 3.4 cases/100 person-years...
The field of transplant infectious diseases is rapidly evolving, presenting a challenge for clinical practice and trainee education. Here we describe the construction transplantid.net, free online library, crowdsourced continuously updated dual purpose point-of-care evidence-based management teaching.
Candida blankii is a recently recognized human pathogen, with most cases of the infection being reported in immunocompromised. We here describe case critically ill elderly woman COVID-19 who developed C. bloodstream from femoral central venous catheter. Aspergillus niger was also isolated her respiratory secretions. The patient started on voriconazole for empiric coverage both A. niger, and at that time, unidentified yeast found blood. Fevers persisted, expired six days after first isolated....
Objective . To evaluate the clinical applicability of rapid biophysical profile (rBPP), comparing results rBPP to umbilical cord pH values and Apgar scores. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 37 pregnant women from our high-risk service. All them gave birth at institution. up 24 h prior delivery were obtained vein immediately after birth. The mean standard deviations for maternal age, gestational age birth, values, score in 1st 5th minutes calculated. An unpaired Student’s...
Incident HIV infections occurring in people on PrEP may have delayed seroconversion. New CDC guidelines recommend the addition of HIV-1 viral load for screening all PrEP. We believe antigen/antibody should continue tenofovir-based at this time.
Extragenital manifestations of Chlamydia trachomatis infection can be challenging to diagnose. A previously healthy 33-year-old man presented with pericarditis recurring despite anti-inflammatory therapy and progressing cardiac tamponade. Pericardiocentesis yielded bloody-appearing fluid increased neutrophils negative standard cultures. The patient reported recent unprotected sexual exposure, urine nucleic acid amplification test detected C. trachomatis. He had no urogenital, ocular, or...
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced access to solid organ transplantation, compounding shortages and waitlist mortality. A continued area of uncertainty is the safety transplanting organs recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infected donors, as autopsies patients who died with show that virus can be found in extra-pulmonary 1 . Case reports series on transplantation these have been published 2, 3 , but population-level data lacking. We queried a national transplant database for recipients donors...
Abstract Background The HIV Organ Policy Equity Act (HOPE Act) was enacted in the US on November 21, 2013. patients have a higher waitlist mortality and decreased access to transplant compared negative controls. major step towards increasing donor pool, but utilization of organs through act has been less than initially anticipated.. Our own institution performed only one D+/R+ first four years trial despite significant number HIV+ waitlist. TableFigure summarizing perceived barriers targeted...
