Ivermectin is widely prescribed as a potential treatment for COVID-19 despite uncertainty about its clinical benefit.To determine whether ivermectin an efficacious mild COVID-19.Double-blind, randomized trial conducted at single site in Cali, Colombia. Potential study participants were identified by simple random sampling from the state's health department electronic database of patients with symptomatic, laboratory-confirmed during period. A total 476 adult disease and symptoms 7 days or...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has rapidly spread throughout Latin America, a region swept multiple previous and ongoing epidemics. There are significant concerns that the arrival of COVID-19 is currently overlapping with other viruses, particularly dengue, in various endo-epidemic regions across South America. In this report, we analyzed trends for both viral infections Colombia during first 20 epidemiological...
Abstract Background Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) have become a fundamental pillar in optimizing antimicrobial usage, improving patient care, and reducing resistance (AMR). Herein we evaluated the impact of an ASP on consumption AMR Colombia. Methods We designed retrospective observational study measured trends antibiotic before after implementation using interrupted time series analysis over 4-year period (24 months 24 implementation). Results ASPs were implemented according to...
CTX-M-15-producing Escherichia coli has emerged worldwide as an important pathogen associated with community-onset infections, but in South America reports are scarce. We document the presence of E. international ST131 and ST405 clones Colombia present first molecular characterization these isolates America.
Abstract Background The monkeypox virus, part of the Orthopoxvirus genus, triggered a worldwide outbreak in 2022. While this had widespread effects, there's limited information on mpox's specific impact Colombia, particularly terms how it is managed, its burden, and epidemiology. This research seeks to examine medical context, clinical variations, health consequences individuals diagnosed with mpox, especially those HIV Colombian institutions Methods retrospective study was conducted...
ObjectivesMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) represent a major clinical problem in Colombia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors associated with MRSA SSTI Colombia.MethodsA multicenter cohort nested case–control design performed. Patients an at least 48 h inpatient care were included. considered case group patients either non-MRSA or Methicillin-susceptible S. (MSSA) control groups. A multivariate logistic regression...
Introduction There is insufficient evidence supporting the use of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for syphilis in people living with HIV (PLWH). We evaluated performance two commercially available RDTs (Bioline and Determine) PLWH Cali, Colombia. Methods A cross-sectional field validation study on consecutive adults confirmed diagnosis attending three outpatient clinics. Both were performed capillary blood (CB), obtained by finger prick, sera, venipuncture. combination treponemal enzyme linked...

Diabetes mellitus is an established risk factor for bacterial infections, but its role in cryptococcosis unclear. The study aimed to determine whether uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c >7%) was independent mortality cryptococcosis.A retrospective case-control partially matched by age and gender performed patients tested Cryptococcus infection at the University of Colorado Hospital from 2000 2019. A multivariable logistic regression model used identify predictors. Cox proportional hazard survival...
In 2019, Colombia approved the combination of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine for HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). Therefore, we conducted a situational analysis in HIV-care providers to identify barriers and facilitators PrEP implementation. A survey was applied non-probabilistic sample health care workers HIV-specialized clinics. We examined awareness familiarity, comfort with PrEP-related activities, perceived implementation, concerns, attitudes. Poisson regressions...
Few studies have used implementation science frameworks to identify determinants of PrEP prescription by healthcare providers. In this work, we developed and psychometrically examined a questionnaire using the theoretical domains framework (TDF) consolidated for research (CFIR). We investigate what factors influence intention providers offer care advocate PrEP.We conducted cross-sectional study in 16 HIV organizations Colombia. A 98-item was administered online 129 professionals. One hundred...
Evaluar el impacto de un programa uso regulado antibióticos en observancia, consumo antibiótico y resistencia bacteriana 2 unidades cuidados intensivos (UCI) hospital universitario tercer nivel Colombia. Estudio prospectivo observacional intervención que analiza períodos tiempo UCI: preintervención (agosto 2008 a febrero 2009) posintervención (marzo septiembre 2009).

Schizophyllum commune is a basidiomycete fungus with broad distribution in nature; however, it rare cause of infectious disease. We report the isolation this mould 46 year-old immunocompetent patient chronic sinusitis previously treated multiple antibiotics and topical nasal steroids. Material obtained via left maxillary sinus antrostomy showed septate hyaline hyphae clamp connections on direct examination KOH histopathological studies. Further growth Sabouraud agar produced white that,...
Abstract Background The HLA-B*57:01 allele is associated with a hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir. Due the lack of knowledge prevalence in Colombia, routine screening not performed and recommended by national guidelines. We aimed determine HIV population from Colombia. Methods This cross-sectional study included naïve HIV-infected adults 13 cities country. presence was determined using SSP-PCR blood samples. Prevalence rates were stratified sex, race, region origin. Results Colombian...
