Filter by:Our hypothesis is that long-term antimicrobial prophylaxis does not reduce the recurrence of infection and the risk of appearance of kidney scars in children with a documented previous upper UTI.
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.)
The aim of this study is to determine whether vancomycin with cefazoline is superior to vancomycin with placebo in preventing gastrostomy-related wound infection in carriers of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
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.
The eradication rate of the standard H. pylori eradication therapy (such as the triple therapy with a proton pump inhibitor [PPI], amoxicillin and clarithromycin) depends on bacterial susceptibility to clarithromycin and genotypes of CYP2C19 in patients. The investigators intend to investigate whether the tailored therapy based on the two above-mentioned factors increases the cure rate of the initial eradication therapy.
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.
