The emergence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has posed a serious therapeutic challenge. We report the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility pattern MRSA in hospitals attached to GMC, Amritsar, Punjab.The study comprised 250 coagulase-positive staphylococci (COPS) isolated from total 6743 clinical specimens (like pus, blood, urine, high vaginal swab, sputum, etc.) patients admitted Government Medical College, Amritsar January 2008-February 2009. Routine testing was...
Xpert MTB/RIF assay has revolutionized the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) by simultaneously detecting bacteria and resistance to rifampicin (RIF), a surrogate marker for multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) in <2 h. The RIF pattern Malwa region Punjab, India, is not documented. Here, we report epidemiology RIF-resistant mutations rpoB gene Mycobacterium (MTB).A total 1612 specimens received between October 2013 February 2015 were tested following manufacturer's instructions. results thus obtained...
Objectives LupusPRO has shown good measurement properties as a disease-specific patient-reported outcome tool in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). For the purpose of clinical trials, version 1.7 (v1.7) domain Pain-Vitality was separated into distinct Pain, Vitality and Sleep domains v1.8, psychometric examined. Methods A total 131 consecutive SLE patients were self-administered surveys assessing fatigue (FACIT, SF-36), pain (Pain Inventory, insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index), emotional...

Fatigue is common among individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but the causes are not well understood. Our objective was to examine perceived stress and depressive symptoms as predictors of fatigue in SLE.
Physician-assessed disease activity and damage predict mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Objectives Benefits of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) use on physician reported outcomes are well documented in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We assess for the first time association and predictive value blood HCQ levels towards health-related quality life (HRQOL) SLE. Methods Data from PLUS study (a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre study) were utilized. Blood quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography along with HRQOL assessments (Medical Outcomes...
Proteus mirabilis strains that produce extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), AmpC β-lactamase, and carbapenemase pose potential threats to patient care because most clinical diagnostic laboratories may not attempt detect these three major groups of enzymes. Therefore, the objective this study was ascertain if P. isolates collected from our heathcare facility possess various mechanisms resistance β-lactams (i.e., ESBL, AmpC, carbapenemases) additionally arrive at conclusions regarding...
