This prospective study aimed determine misuse and RTI, using an expert panel reference standard, order prioritise the target age population for stewardship interventions. We recruited who presented at emergency department or were hospitalised clinical presentation of RTI The Netherlands Israel. A three...
Depression commonly accompanies acute coronary syndrome (ACS), impacting up to 30% of patients and correlating with adverse outcomes. Our study aimed assess the accuracy clinical impression compared PHQ9 questionnaire for evaluating depression in ACS admitted cardiac intensive care unit. Screening was conducted at least 48 hours from hospital admission 24 following angiography PCI. The assessment performed separately a blinded manner by attending medical team questionnaire. comprised 150...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia is an infection associated with a high mortality rate. Piperacillin-tazobactam β-lactam–β-lactamase inhibitor combination that frequently used for the management of infections. The pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic index in vitro maximal bacterial killing piperacillin-tazobactam percentage time between doses at which free fraction concentration remains above MIC (% fT >MIC ).
Abstract In a multicenter, nationwide, retrospective study of patients hospitalized with spotted fever group rickettsiosis in Israel during 2010–2019, we identified 42 cases, which 36 were autochthonous. The most prevalent species was the Rickettsia conorii Israeli tick typhus strain (n = 33, 79%); infection this necessitated intensive care for 52% and associated 30% fatality rate. A history bite rare, found only 5% patients; eschar 12%; leukocytosis more common than leukopenia. Most (72%)...
Abstract Background Early reports described an increased risk of herpes zoster following receipt mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines. The objective was to assess whether vaccine is associated with varicella-zoster virus–induced neurologic disease (VZV-ND). Methods This multicenter retrospective case-control study a test-negative design conducted at 12 hospitals in Israel. We included all patients admitted VZV-ND between January 2020 and December 2021 matched controls negative polymerase chain...
Abstract Our purpose was to describe the clinical, epidemiological and laboratory characteristics of patients hospitalised with acute Q fever in an endemic area Israel. We conducted a historical cohort study all definite diagnosis fever, compared them suspected have but ruled out. A total 38 had definitive diagnosis, 47% occurred during autumn winter seasons, only 18% lived rural regions. Leucopaenia thrombocytopaenia were uncommon (16% 18%, respectively), mild hepatitis common (mean...
Highly variable estimates of COVID-19-associated fungal diseases (IFDs) have been reported. We aimed to determine the incidence clinically important in hospitalized COVID-19 patients during first year pandemic. performed a multicenter survey IFDs among with 13 hospitals Israel between February 2020 and May 2021. pulmonary mold disease (PMD) invasive candidiasis (IC) were defined using ECMM/ISHAM EORTC/MSG criteria, respectively. Overall rates IC PMD critical 10.86 10.20 per 1000 admissions,...

Drug hypersensitivity (DH) is potentially life threatening. Its management in the emergency department (ED) not always satisfactory. Previous studies have evaluated of allergic reactions ED, but none has specifically addressed patients with known DH. In this study we aimed to analyze treatment offered DH presenting ED a hospital Israel for any reason.Records discharged from on 19 randomly chosen dates between February 2004 and September 2005 were retrospectively reviewed.

Q fever has significant consequences for patients with persistent localized infection. A combination of doxycycline hydroxychloroquine, at least 18-24 months, is the first-line therapy. The use serology as a prognostic marker during therapy controversial.
Pyomyositis, accompanied by aseptic arthritis, has been previously documented in several publications. However, none of the authors mentioned case reports offered a pathophysiological explanation for this unusual phenomenon or proposed treatment protocol. We present healthy, 70‐year‐old male who was presented to emergency department 4 days after tripping over pile wooden planks and getting stabbed nail his thigh. The right thigh swollen. Unproportional pain produced light touch A laboratory...
