Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether measures to eliminate the Staph germ from the skin of the index patient (with a special ointment and soap) are more effective when performed by everyone in the household rather than the patient alone, and whether these methods are effective in preventing future Staph infections. The investigators hypothesize that there will be a greater number of households who are successful in eradicating the staph germ from the index patient when all members of the household participate than households where only the index patient is treated.
Our study aims to test the utility of computer-assisted treatment for uncomplicated, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) for women receiving care in safety net health care facilities. As of November 2009, we are also testing the utility of computer-assisted treatment for certain types of complicated cystitis (i.e. women with voiding symptoms and one of the following complicating symptoms: fever, flank pain, or symptoms greater than 7 days).
The objectives of this study were: 1. To demonstrate the efficacy/safety of a short therapeutic strategy of treatment of CMV infection/disease in SOT patients (kidney, liver and heart recipients) based on 21 days of treatment. 2. To compare the exposure to ganciclovir, at steady state, after oral valganciclovir with respect to ganciclovir given intravenously (i.v.). 3. Evaluate the security of this treatment with valganciclovir.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate 2 different antibiotics, drugs that fight bacteria, [clindamycin (CLINDA) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX)] and wound care for the outpatient management of uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infections (uSSTIs) in children and adults. The study will occur in areas where community associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (S.) aureus are common. S. aureus is a type of bacteria. A total of 1310 volunteers, greater than or equal to 6 months of age and adults 85 years or younger, non-immunocompromised, with uSSTIs (in particular abscess and/or cellulitis) will be enrolled in this study. Subjects will be treated with one of the following: CLINDA, TMP-SMX, or placebo (contains no medication). Volunteers will be grouped based on the presence of cellulitis or abscess, whether the abscess can be surgically drained, and its size. The subject participation duration for this study is about 6 weeks.
EGAST 2008 is a prospective, non interventional, multicentric study (approximately 2000 isolates from 15- 20 sites). Objectives: - Comparison of antimicrobial susceptibility using disc-diffusion method - Assessing prevalence of beta-lactamase producing strains among clinical isolates obtained from hospital in-patients
To determine the acquisition rate of ESBL producing E. coli or K. pneumoniae, post- intervention in the selected medical centres
The aim of the trial is to evaluate safety of a follow on formula supplemented with Lactobacillus salivarius CECT5713. A randomized double blind placebo controlled trial was carried out. Eighty six months old children were recruited by the department of pediatrics of Hospital Univeristario San Cecilio. Children were divided in two groups that consumed a follow on formula supplemented or not with the probiotic strain during 6 months. Fecal samples were obtained at the recruitment, at 3 months and at the end of the trial. In addition revision by the pediatrician was performed once a month and possible adverse effects were recorded both by the pediatrician and by parents.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the H. pylori eradication rates with Finafloxacin in combination with Amoxicillin or Esomeprazole. The secondary objective is to evaluate and compare the safety and tolerability of multiple oral doses of Finafloxacin plus Amoxicillin versus Finafloxacin plus Esomeprazole.
To collect and summarize information on the diagnosis, management, and clinical and mycological outcomes of patients with systemic fungal infections in order to better understand the effectiveness of antifungals in the treatment of Systemic Fungal Infections (SFI) in India.
The primary aims of this study are to identify and characterize the immediate consequences of patients who fail fluconazole treatment during the treatment of severe infection, and to determine if fluconazole failures are more frequently associated with fluconazole-resistant or fluconazole-susceptible strains of C. albicans.
