The purpose of this study is to determine whether ceftaroline is effective and safe in the treatment of complicated skin infections in adults.
The purpose of this study is to determine the utilization patterns and compliance rates of palivizumab, which is a monoclonal antibody therapy used to prevent respiratory syncytial virus infection.
Tigecycline is being developed as an agent that overcomes tetracycline-resistance mechanisms and provides activity against emerging multi-drug resistant pathogens. The purpose of this protocol is to determine the linkage between time related clinical measures of infection response and time to bacterial eradication in patients with intravascular catheter infections caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase negative staphylococci.
- This is the first study, that we are aware of, that will evaluate the efficacy of IgIV in patients with IgG subclass deficiency. - Will provide data for further collaboration in extending study to involve other immunological centers in the United States to study patients with similar disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of an anti-HIV drug regimen followed by treatment interruption in people recently infected with HIV. This study will also compare the effects of a treatment regimen including treatment interruption with a treatment plan based on clinical indicators.
The aim of this prospective randomised controlled trial is to compare the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infection in 2 groups of patients with hemato-oncological disease: Group A: heparin-coated central venous catheters (Control Group) Group B: antiseptic-coated (chlorhexidine-silver sulfadiazine) central venous catheters
The primary objective is to assess the safety of telithromycin (HMR 3647) (20% fine granules) 1g filling sachet in children with infections (Respiratory tract infections, Dermatological infections, Otorhinolaryngological infections, Dentistry/Oral surgery infections). Secondary objectives are to assess the clinical efficacy, bacteriological efficacy and acceptability of telithromycin (20% fine granules) 1g filling sachet in children with infections.
This study examines the cold processes of children aged 6 to less than 14. Children will be seen by the study staff 6 days in a row during the course of their naturally-acquired colds. Nasal secretions will be examined for chemicals that the body creates during a cold. Skin cells will be collected by brushing the inside of the child's cheek with a small brush. The cells will be examined for genes that may hold control the creation of these chemicals.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if treatment of CMV infection by antiviral drug Valcyte (R) affects the clinical outcome of glioblastoma multiforme in patients with local CMV infection in tumor tissue. The investigators' hypothesis states that CMV infection promotes tumor development and disease progression and inhibits immune responses against the tumor.
