Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) virus, has spread worldwide since 2019. Several studies report that adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19 can be treated successfully remdesivir (RDV). However, few safety and efficacy of RDV for children. This study included 20 who were diagnosed received at Kobe Children's Hospital, Japan, between February June, 2022. The median age was years (IQR, 1-11 years; range, 5 months...

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a major causative organism of swine erysipelas, but the infection has rarely occurred in humans. A soft-tissue with this described as "erysipeloid." Most reported cases human are related to occupational exposure. Endocarditis common complication E. bacteremia human. We report case previously healthy 52-year-old Japanese female who presented fever and an inflamed hand after being bitten by stray cat. Blood culture was positive for rhusiopathiae, no sign...

Remdesivir (RDV) causes liver enzyme elevation in adults; however, the frequency of this children and associated risk factors are largely unknown. Therefore, we aimed to examine for hospitalised paediatric patients who received RDV.

We report a case series of 6 patients with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Wakayama prefecture, Japan. All the tested positive via pharyngeal swab polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, and 2 were still at 3 weeks after onset. exhibited bilateral ground glass opacities on computed tomography (CT).

Furthermore, even when an robot performing task, it desirable for to observe spontaneously. Robot vision constructed using model knowledge,...

Abstract Background Schaaf‐Yang syndrome (SYS) is a rare hereditary disease caused by truncating point mutations of the paternal allele melanoma antigen L2 ( MAGEL2 ), one five protein‐coding genes within Prader‐Willi (PWS) critical domain. SYS shares many clinical and molecular characteristics with PWS but has some distinct features, such as joint contractures autism. Patients show abnormal electroencephalography (EEG) patterns. However, there are very few reports on EEG findings in...

Coagulase-negative staphylococci can cause hospital-acquired infections, especially in immunocompromised hosts. Bacterial meningitis is a potentially fatal infection of the central nervous system, causing high mortality and morbidity. In general, causative agents meningitis, coagulase-negative staphylococci, are associated with direct implantation foreign body presence cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt. Here, we describe case nosocomial caused by Staphylococcus haemolyticus child neutropenia...

Abstract Background Tsukamurella spp. are obligate aerobic, gram-positive, non-motile, and slightly acid-fast bacilli belonging to the Actinomycetes family. They share many characteristics with Nocardia , Rhodococcus Gordonia rapidly growing Mycobacterium species. Therefore, standard testing may misidentify as another Accurate rapid diagnosis is critical for proper infection management, but identification of this bacterium difficult in laboratory setting.
