Candida parapsilosis is known to cause severe and persistent outbreaks in clinical settings. Patients infected with multidrug-resistant C. (MDR Cp) isolates were identified a large Turkish hospital from 2017–2020. We subsequently three additional patients MDR Cp 2022 the same two echinocandin-resistant (ECR) single patient another hospital. The increasing number of ECR contradicts general principle that fitness cost associated these phenotypes could prevent their dominance Here, we employed...
Abstract Background Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is increasingly recognized as a complication of severe influenza and coronavirus disease 2019. The extent to which other respiratory viral infections (RVIs) predispose IPA unclear. Methods We performed retrospective review occurring within 90 days syncytial virus (RSV), parainfluenza, or adenovirus (noninfluenza [NI-RVIs]) in patients who underwent solid organ transplant between 1/15/2011 12/19/2017. Results At median post-transplant...
Objective: The aim of the present study was to estimate cost treating patients with lung cancer at their end-of-life (EOL) phase care in Greece. Materials & methods: A hospital-based retrospective conducted Oncology Unit ‘Sotiria’ Hospital, Athens, All who died between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2018 least 6 months follow-up were enrolled study. Healthcare resource utilization data, including inpatient outpatient ones, during last before death extracted from a registry kept unit....
Abstract Background Crude and adjusted mortality rates for patients with non-ventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia (NV-HAP) are among the highest of all healthcare-associated infections, leading to calls greater prevention. Patients prone NV-HAP, however, tend be severely ill at baseline, making it unclear whether their high due underlying conditions, or both. Methods Two infectious disease physicians conducted detailed medical record reviews on 150 randomly selected adults from 4 hospitals...
Here, we report a case of smear-negative disseminated tuberculosis (TB) in kidney transplant recipient diagnosed using plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA). A 68-y-old woman presented with 2 mo fevers and 15-pound weight loss. Six years earlier, she received living donor from her husband for adult polycystic disease. She standard induction antithymocyte globulin maintenance immunosuppression tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, low-dose prednisone. Her posttransplant course was uncomplicated. born...
Abstract Perioperative blood management is essential to minimize allogeneic transfusion in total knee replacement. The effect of preoperative administration erythropoietin, intraoperative cell saver, tranexamic acid, and restrictive strategies on studied A retrospective comparative study 106 patients who underwent replacement different time periods was performed. Group (n 1 = 45) between 2009 2010. B 2 24) includes where erythropoietin either 10.000 IU or 20.000 given preoperatively....
Objective: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease that necessitates multidisciplinary approach. The aim of our study to assess the awareness and depth knowledge SLE in medical students. By identifying shortcomings lupus-related education, results can be generalized other processes require care from multiple specialties. Methods: We surveyed undergraduate students two Greek schools using structured questionnaire. questionnaire consisted parts. Part A assessed...
Purpose: To characterize an unusual presentation of infectious posterior uveitis using multimodal imaging, and discuss the clinical decision-making involved in diagnosis treatment.Methods: Wide-field fundus photography, swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography, fluorescein indocyanine green angiography.Results: This patient presented with cyclical fevers blurry vision. Fundus examination revealed bilateral optic disc edema, macular intraretinal white spots many...
Abstract Background Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) complicating influenza (flu) has been increasingly recognized. We have shown that IPA occurred in 22% of solid organ transplant (SOT) patients (pts) with flu. Associations between and non-flu respiratory infections (non-flu-RVI) SOT are unknown. Methods Retrospective review consecutive pts transplanted from Jan 15, 2010-Dec 19, 2017. Pts who died within 100 days were excluded. Non-flu-RVI IFI was defined according to revised...
Abstract Background Our hospital system created guidelines to standardize care across 24 hospitals for COVID-19 treatment during the pandemic. Guidelines changed over time. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was unrestricted phase 1, then restricted by pharmacy outside of a randomized clinical trial (RCT) 2 (excepting those ineligible RCTs). Methods This prospective study assess system-wide adherence guidelines, and evaluate patient outcomes. Results Of 261 patients, median age 67 years (IQR 56–76);...
