Filter by:This prospective cohort study will include 200 term children born in Landspitali University Hospital in Iceland. The cohort will be divided into four groups according to antibiotic exposure of which one is the control group. Children's immune responses to live oral rotavirus vaccine as well as conventional vaccinations given at three, five and 12 months old will be determined by measuring salivary and serologic responses. Responses will be compared between the four groups. Stool samples will also be collected from participants and the composition of the microbiome compared between the four groups.
Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) in the patients chronically catheterized are serious challenges clinically. The pathogens are often multidrug-resistant bacteria and such UTIs are actually biofilm infections. Currently standard antibiotic treatment against UTI in Denmark is sensitive antibiotic monotherapy. Theoretically antibiotic monotherapy is not a good treatment against biofilm infections. In the patients with impaired renal functions, both i.v. and p.o. antibiotic treatments function poor. Therefore, bladder lavage might help. In the study, the participants will be randomly divided into three groups (monotherapy, combination and bladder lavage). The investigators will evaluate the results and find a better treatment based on the clinical evidences, which might benefit the patients.
Bacterial meningitis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in childhood. Antibiotic treatment recommendations are based on epidemiological and susceptibility data. The epidemiology of bacterialméningitis has changed in recent years, mainly owing to widespread use of different conjugate vaccines. The aim of this prospective national survey is to describe epidemiology of bacteria implicated in bacterial meningitis in children.
After 7 then 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine implementation in France in children, we will evaluate the impact of this vaccination on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). We will describe the clinical characteristics of IPD, pneumococcus serotyping, underlying conditions and vaccination status.
