Filter by:Caspofungin is an anti-fungal drug mainly metabolized by the liver. The pathophysiological status of children with severe infection will affect the metabolism of caspofungin in the body especially in the case of liver dysfunction. There is little metabolism of caspofungin through the kidney and continuous renal replacement therapy and renal function have little influence on the pharmacokinetics of caspofungin. The study aim to investigate PK/PD of caspofungin in children with specific pathophysiological conditions, such as liver insufficiency, hypoproteinemia, ECMO treatment, or sepsis.
Gut microbiome manipulation to alter the gut-lung axis may potentially protect humans against respiratory infections. However, clinical trials of synbiotics, one of the microbiota-targeted intervention, in this regard is few. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of synbiotics on the incidence and severity of upper respiratory tract infection, gut microbiota composition and function, as well as biomarkers of immune function.
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is one of the most common hospital-acquired infectious diseases with a high mortality rate (6-30%). The treatment of CDI, especially the recurrent form of the disease is still considered a challenge. The FILTRATE randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of fecal filtrate transplantation in the treatment of recurrent CDI and compare it with conventional fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT).
The study aims to describe the current use of dalbavancin among diabetic patients with infections in a real-world clinical setting in Italy and Spain.
Early identification and Severity prediction of Acute Respiratory infectious disease has become a top priority for clinicians at department of infectious and respiratory diseases after COVID-19 broke out. This is a multicenter, prospective, and randomized study, which aims to figure out the best way of early identification and severity prediction of acute respiratory infectious diseases. Patients with suspected acute respiratory infectious diseases will be enrolled into this study and received two different diagnostic pathways.
To assess the effectiveness of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) testing and treatment during pregnancy to reduce adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes compared to the standard of care (treatment based on symptoms and signs).
Infectious anorectitis is a poorly described clinical entity. Their epidemiology is poorly known, as are their clinical, diagnostic (diagnoses are regularly made in gastroenterology and new diagnostic tools are now available) and therapeutic aspects. The proctology center of the Marie Thérèse Center is the leading proctology center in the Ile-de-France region both in terms of recruitment and reputation, and drains a large proportion of patients with anorectitis for specialized care. The clinical microbiology laboratory of the Saint Joseph Hospital Group is linked to the Marie Thérèse Center to provide its expertise in the microbiological and infectious aspects of the management of these infections. In recent years, the analysis of data from this large population of patients referred to the Léopold Bellan proctology center for suspected ano-rectitis has revealed the pathogens Neisseria gonorrhoeae and/or Chlamydia trachomatis. Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is an emerging pathogen responsible for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) and has been described increasingly in recent years. Studies on this pathogen will allow to better identify risk factors and to target optimized prevention and therapeutic management strategies.
A local network is being set up to study the impact of arboviruses in our region. It is committed to a one-health approach, in particular with research without a priori for new viruses hosted among vectors and wildlife. The candidates identified by high throughput sequencing approaches will serve as a basis for the development of serological and molecular tools for their detections. These tools will be used to assess the possible circulation of these new viruses in humans in biological collections created within the framework of this project Arbodocc .
Peritoneal dialysis-related infection is a complication that leads to peritoneal dialysis catheter removal or patient death. The present study aimed to investigate peritoneal dialysis-related infection rates, causative pathogens, appropriation of antibiotic use, treatment outcomes and trend in antimicrobial resistance of causative pathogens.
Surveys administered to subjects who have recovered from COVID-19 to assess how effective their treatment was.
