Abstract Background Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are a major global health burden due to their high morbidity and mortality. This retrospective study described the epidemiology of respiratory pathogens in adults over 5-year period at an Australian tertiary healthcare network. Methods All multiplex reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction samples taken between 1st November 2014 31st October 2019 were included this study. Overall prevalence variations according seasons, age...
Turmeric is a commonly used oral herbal supplement with purported anti-inflammatory and antineoplastic properties. It promoted as safe, limited reports of severe adverse effects directly related to turmeric thus far in the literature. Herein we report two cases induced hepatitis. These highlight need for physicians be aware patients taking this common potential risks that exist.

Abstract Centenarians are a rapidly growing patient population. Little is known about their clinical responses to respiratory tract infections. This study examines cohort of centenarians admitted tertiary centre with multiplex polymerase chain reaction‐confirmed infections characterise characteristics and management outcomes better. Despite multiple comorbidities frailty, the overall mortality rate appeared favourable.
BackgroundInaccurate or incomplete documentation of severe medication allergies, such as anaphylaxis and cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCAR), may lead to harm from inadvertent re-exposure implicated medications.
