Filter by:Patients with HIV an have a variable course of their infection. We are trying to identify factors which worsen or ameliorate the course of the disease. Such factors may be related to metabolism (breakdown) of drugs or to iron handling by the body.
This was a prospective, randomized, controlled, open, and multi-center trial conducted to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of ertapenem with it's comparator before or following adequate surgical management of complicated intra-abdominal infection.
In order to evaluate the effect of eliminating nasal carriage by mupirocin prophylaxis on subsequent Staphylococcus aureus infection, a prospective randomized trial was performed particularly including patients with predisposing risk factors for S. aureus infections.
The aims of this prospective study are: (1) to prospectively investigate the "true" prevalence rate, the acquisition and spontaneous clearance of H. pylori infection year by year in the population whose ages between seven and fifteen. (2) to explore the risk factors of transmission of H. pylori infection in Taiwan. (This information may be use as the guide for conduction of the national policy of public health and disease prevention.)
Use of linezolid in patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in Japan
Systemic infection is still a major concern in young children with liver transplantation. The approach of this study is to reduce the risk of systemic infections by avoiding intraoperative steroids (another class of immunosuppressive drugs) given in combination with basiliximab, cyclosporine and steroids in pediatric de novo liver transplant recipients. The treatment is compared to the same treatment regimen including intraoperative steroids with respect to rejection episodes.
This study evaluated the safety and tolerability of tipranavir to improve treatment options for HIV type 1-infected patients who have been previously treated and whose treatment is no longer effective.
To prevent recurrence of invasive fungal infection in patients with allogeneic stem cell transplants
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a commercial hand washing promotion program on hygiene knowledge, attitudes, and practices, and on health outcomes such as reported infectious illnesses and school absences.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of daptomycin in patients aged 2-17 years old who have a suspected or proven gram-positive infection for which they are receiving standard antibiotic therapy. The tolerability of a single dose of daptomycin in these patients will also be assessed.
