Filter by:This study is based on the hypothesis that the pharmacokinetics of meropenem and linezolid in severe infectious children are different from mild infectious children and adults. The investigators aim to study the population pharmacokinetics of children receiving the meropenem and linezolid for treatment of severe infectious diseases. In this study, the investigators will detect drug concentration in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid by using residual blood samples of blood and cerebrospinal fluid gas analysis and other clinical tests and employ computers for constructing population pharmacokinetic models. In addition, the investigators also want to correlate use of meropenem and linezolid with treatment effectiveness and incidence of adverse effects in children. This novel knowledge will allow better and more rational approaches to the treatment of severe infectious diseases in children. It will also set the foundation for further studies to improve anti- infective drug therapies for severe infectious children.
The Geneva Blood Virome Project is a longitudinal observational study. The main objective is to describe the kinetics of the plasmatic viral load of a selection of at least 21 DNA and RNA viruses of the blood virome in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, over a one-year period after transplantation. Secondary objectives are: 1) to assess the prevalence of DNA and RNA viruses plasmatic detections and co-detections, 2) to assess the cumulative incidence of DNA and RNA viruses plasmatic detection. The population of the study consists in adult patients receiving allogeneic stem cell transplantation at the University Hospitals of Geneva, enrolled in an already existing monocentric cohort, and for which clinical specimens are collected and stored at the time and after transplantation. The investigators plan to include 120 patients whose plasma samples are collected from March 2017 and to systematically use plasma samples collected on the day of transplantation and several time points after transplantation to screen DNA and RNA viruses by qualitative and quantitative real-time PCR and RT-PCR.
A retrospective, post-marketing, multi-center chart review study includes patients who had been prescribed Ampholipad.
The purpose of this study is to see whether chlorhexidine is superior to povidine-iodine vaginal antisepsis at reducing bacteria colony counts in pregnant women by comparing three groups: vaginal washing with chlorhexidine-alcohol, vaginal washing with povidine-iodine, and vaginal washing with saline alone.
The study will assess the utility of 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) daily bathing to reduce hospital acquired infections in patients admitted to intensive care units. One group will be daily bathed with 4% CHG and the other group with standard soap.
This study is planned to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the drug Ftortiazinon in combination with the drug Maxipime® in comparison with placebo in combination with the drug Maxipime® in the treatment of hospitalized adult patients with complicated urinary tract infections caused by P. aeruginosa.
Consensual antibiotic protocols have been developed and validated locally by infectious disease specialists, internists and emergency physicians, in order to encourage their compliance. A preliminary study was conducted from June 2015 to February 2016, including 622 patients admitted to the emergency department for infectious syndrome such as / - Pneumoniae - Urinary tract infection - Cellulitis - Meningitis - Malaria - Febrile neutropenia - Febrile acute diarrhea - Fever back to the tropics - Angina - sexually transmitted infection This prospective study will observe and analyze the adherence of prescribers to these protocols. With description of patients who benefited or not the antibiotic protocol, according to a syndromic approach and analysis of the causes of non-adherence to the protocols. In order to limit the length of stay and reduce the cost of hospitalization..
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-armed, parallel-group study in healthy children aged 2-6 years. The study will investigate the effect of daily intake of a probiotic on Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTI) during a 16-week intervention.
Bone and joint infections (BJI) is a public health issue in industrialized countries. Implant-associated BJI, are complex hospital-acquired infections and eradication of the pathogen is challenging in such patients. A prolonged antimicrobial therapy is usually required from 6 weeks to 3 months, but some patients are eligible to several years of treatment and most of patients report gastrointestinal troubles, such as nausea and mild to severe diarrhea (but very few developed C. difficile diarrhea). Moreover, the host gut microbiota is probably largely affected in abundance, richness and diversity. Indeed, it is known, that few days of antibiotics are sufficient to induce significant alterations of the gut microbiota, also called dysbiosis. Severe dysbiosis, which is potentially irreversible and associated with a definitive shift in the gut microbiota metabolism and host homeostasis, may lead to and/or promote a large panel of severe diseases such as Clostridium difficile infection, diabetes mellitus, obesity, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), cirrhosis, neurological disorders and cancer. It may also be associated with BJI recurrence and then impact global health costs. The main objective of this study is to constitute biobanking of stools and perform DNA sequencing of the gut microbiota in patients with acute or sub-acute implant-related Bone and Joint Infection (BJI), caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
Subjects who are planned to undergo an abdominal (colon) surgery and who will meet the study entry criteria will be randomly divided into 2 groups: for half D-PLEX will be administered concomitantly with the standard of care (SOC). The other half will receive the Standard of Care treatment. Following the surgery subjects will be followed up for additional 5 visits, at least half are in line with the routine practice of surgery Follow-Ups. Visits will include patient safety and wound assessments.
