Background. The prevalence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) strains causing bloodstream infection (BSI) has not been studied in Korea. Objective. We sought to determine the CA-MRSA among isolates recovered from patients with MRSA BSIs and explore epidemiological changes also evaluate clinical characteristics relevant development healthcare-associated BSIs. Methods. prospectively collected consecutive BSI at 4 hospitals July 1 through November 30,...
Abstract Background The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli has been increased not only in the hospital but also community worldwide. This study was aimed to characterize ESBL- producing E. isolates and investigate molecular epidemiology comparison with at a single center Korea. Methods A total 142 ESBL-producing were collected Daejeon St Mary’s Hospital Korea from January 2008 September 2009. ESBLs characterized by PCR sequencing using specific...
BackgroundVoriconazole is a triazole agent with excellent antifungal activity against Aspergillus species. However, despite its potential advantages, the occurrence of unpredictable toxicities might be critical in immunocompromised patients. The aim this study was to analyze risk factors for voriconazole-related severe adverse events (SAEs).MethodsThis prospective observational conducted Korean patients hematological malignancies and invasive aspergillosis on intravenous voriconazole therapy...
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli has become an important cause of community-onset urinary tract infections. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy non-carbapenem antibiotics for acute pyelonephritis (APN) due ESBL-producing E. coli.We conducted a retrospective cohort study patients with APN at single centre in Korea from 2007 2013. Outcomes included both microbiological and clinical failure. To adjust non-random assignment antibiotics, propensity score method...
Global data on the epidemiology and susceptibility of Aspergillus are crucial in management invasive aspergillosis. Here, we aimed to determine characteristics clinical environmental isolates, focusing mainly hematologic malignancy patients.
Many countries have authorized the emergency use of oral antiviral agents for patients with mild-to-moderate cases coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We assessed cost-effectiveness these reducing number severe COVID-19 and burden on Korea's medical system.Using an existing model, we estimated people who would require hospital/intensive care unit (ICU) admission in Korea 2022. The treatment scenarios included (1) all adult patients, (2) elderly only, (3) underlying diseases compared to...
We analyzed the publication and submission statuses of Korean medical journals from 2010 to 2024, amidst challenges impacting researchers. Data 58 domestic identified through 2023 JCR database were used assess status, while data
Abstract Background Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) bloodstream infection (BSI) is generally associated with the delayed administration of adequate antibiotics. The identification risk factors and outcomes VRE BSI necessary for establishing strategies managing neutropenic fever in patients hematological malignancies. Methods We retrospectively analysed consecutive cases enterococcal neutropenia after chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation between July 2009 December 2011 at a...
The number of urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) is increasing. In an outpatient setting, there are limited therapeutic options to treat ESBL-producing pathogens. We evaluated the outcomes amikacin parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) for UTIs ESBL-EC in patients not pre-treated with carbapenem.We retrospectively OPAT ESBL-EC.From November 2011 October 2012, eight females, who could be hospitalized carbapenem...
Background: Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are Gram-negative bacteria with increasing prevalence of infection worldwide.In Korea, 25 cases CPE isolates were reported by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2011.Most detected mainly at tertiary referral hospitals.We analyzed risk factors carbapenem-resistant (CRE) a mid-sized community-based hospital Korea. Materials Methods:We retrospectively all consecutive episodes from January 2013 to February 2014.CRE...
