Filter by:The purpose of this European, multicentric, prospective, non-interventional study is to document and evaluate the efficacy and safety of the treatment of severely infected patients with intravenously administered fosfomycin, including patients with osteomyelitis, complicated urinary tract infection, nosocomial lower respiratory tract infection, bacterial meningitis/central nervous system infection, bacteraemia/sepsis, skin and soft tissue infection, endocarditis or other infections, each as far as covered by the respective nationally relevant SmPC.
Severe necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI), including necrotizing fasciitis, is a life threatening infection that spreads quickly to cutis, sub-cutis, fasciae and muscles. Approximately 40% of all patients with infections caused by S. Pyogenes develop a streptococcal toxic-shock syndrome. In these cases the mortality rates exceed 40% in spite of adequate treatment with antimicrobials. Due to the rapid progress, the extensive damage on soft tissues and high risk of death, the microbes are called "flesh-eating bacteria". The present study is a spin-off of the larger EU funded INFECT study, looking at the experiences of patient and family to understand the impact on every day life. The present prospective mixed methods study has the potential to provide important knowledge regarding the occurrence of early signs and symptoms of NSTI, quality of life 6 and 24 months after diagnosis, and how the care and treatment can be optimized and organized in a person/patient and family centered way. The study also aims at validate the SF 36 questionnaire for this group of patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate strategies to prevent Staphylococcus aureus skin and soft tissue infections in soldiers during infantry training. This study will be conducted on three different bases among groups of male recruits to IDF training base. They will provide nasal swabs to detect Staphylococcus aureus carriage in two time points: 1. before mixing and training in confined settings, reflecting carriage acquired before entering 2. After 14-30 days. All soldiers will be under surveillance for skin infection until the end of the training program.
Patients often come to the emergency department with bacterial skin infections (known as "cellulitis"). Some patients with very severe infections are admitted to hospital for antibiotic treatment and some are sent home on oral antibiotics. Many patients have moderate infections and are treated as outpatients with daily intravenous antibiotics for 2-5 days. In this patient group it is unclear if treatment with oral antibiotics is as effective as intravenous antibiotics. The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment of moderate cellulitis with an intravenous antibiotic (cefazolin) for 3-5 days is as effective as treatment with an oral antibiotic (moxifloxacin). We hypothesize that the oral agent will be as effective as intravenous treatment for moderate cellulitis.
