Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) poses a significant challenge to infection control in healthcare settings. Active screening is recommended prevent intra-hospital CPE transmission. was initiated at 660-bed hospital South Korea September 2018, targeting patients previously colonized/infected or admitted outside facilities (HCFs) within 1 month. Universal intensive care unit (ICU) performed the time of admission. After hospital-wide outbreak July-September 2019, program enhanced...
During the measles epidemic in 2019, in-hospital transmission of contributed to more than two-thirds cases South Korea, where is declared eliminated. This study aimed examine seropositivity among healthcare workers (HCWs) Korea help develop an effective prevention strategy for hospital settings. Measles IgG titer was tested 1,579 HCWs working a university-affiliated and measles-containing vaccine (MCV) immunization records 870 were identified. The overall 92.0%, but antibody titers...
Posaconazole (PCZ) is a triazole approved for prophylaxis of invasive fungal infections.Herein, the impact clinical variables on PCZ plasma concentrations (PPCs) attained with delayed-release tablet (DRT) was investigated and compared historical cohort treated oral suspension (OS).Steady-state PPCs in 513 patients haematologic malignancy PCZ-DRT were assessed analysed. Also, comparison matched PCZ-OS made.The median PPC group 1,308.9 ng/mL (range: 29.8-10 455.9). Use proton pump inhibitor...
Schizophyllum commune is a mold in phylum Basidiomycota and an uncommon human pathogen. Sinusitis allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis are the two major diseases caused by S. commune. Although there have been several reports of invasive fungal diseases, most them were sinusitis. We present case pneumonia due to commune, developed patient with acute myeloid leukemia presenting neutropenic fever. The diagnosis was made characteristic macroscopic microscopic findings isolate confirmed via...

Abstract Background Fluoroquinolone prophylaxis has been widely used in high-risk neutropenic patients with hematological malignancies, which may reduce bloodstream infection (BSI) and mortality. However, concerns about antibiotic resistance also exist. The aim of this study was to assess the impact new institutional strategy restricting fluoroquinolone saving carbapenem, applied since October 2016. adopted only remission induction chemotherapy, carbapenems were saved until other antibiotics...
Abstract Background Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) poses a great challenge in infection control healthcare settings. A screening and contact precautions are recommended to prevent the spread of CPE among patients. However, strategies differ countries facilities. Methods In September 2018, we launched program at 660-bed hospital South Korea, which targeted previously colonized patients, patients with history admission < 1 month or transferred ICU-admitted Once were...
