NCT ID: NCT04850677 Completed - Clinical trials for Salmonella Infection Non-Typhoid

Treating Non-typhoidal Salmonella Bloodstream Infections in Children Under Five in DR Congo: a Cohort Study

TreNTS
Start date: August 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

With this study the researchers aim to provide observational data on the treatment efficacy of currently used antibiotic treatment regimens for NTS BSI in hospital-admitted children. The study is an observational cohort study where the antibiotic treatments used and treatment outcomes in the St. Luc general referral hospital in Kisantu health zone (Province Kongo Central, DR Congo) will be described.

NCT ID: NCT02689193 Completed - Fever Clinical Trials

IDIS Project Work Package 2: Establishing a Biobank at ITM and Collaborating Centres

IDIS
Start date: September 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The IDIS study aims to develop a new rapid diagnostic test for invasive salmonellosis using samples (blood, urine) collected from patients with fever and healthy controls at the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM) and collaborating centers. The samples are collected after informed consent and/or assent is given by the participant and are stored in a -80 ⁰C freezer after processing (centrifugation and/or aliquoting). Basic information regarding the patient and the samples are coded and stored in a protected Microsoft Access database. The samples will be shipped to Belgium for proteomic analysis. Identification of Salmonella specific proteins in the samples will hopefully support the development of a rapid diagnostic test. Once this test has been developed, the samples will also be used for validation and evaluation of this test.

NCT ID: NCT01255943 Completed - Clinical trials for Blood Stream Infections

Testing Spread and Implementation of Novel Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcal Aureus (MRSA)-Reducing Practices

Start date: July 2010
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to implement strategies for improved efficiency and waste reduction ("Toyota Lean") and positive deviance, a social behavioral change process, utilizing frontline healthcare personnel to reduce infection bloodstream infection and MRSA infection in outpatient dialysis care. In two outpatient dialysis units, dialysis unit healthcare staff will be educated in Toyota lean techniques and conduct periodic "discovery and action" dialogues to identify and implement care process changes to reduce infection. Outcomes to be monitored will include incidence of bloodstream infections and MRSA infections of all types. Data will be assessed at quarterly intervals using interrupted time series analysis.

NCT ID: NCT01077336 Completed - Candida Clinical Trials

Clinical Outcomes in Candidemia Patients Based on in Vitro Susceptibility

Start date: January 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Susceptibility testing is commonly employed in patients with bacterial infections in order to guide rational use of antibiotics; however, the use of antifungal susceptibility testing is limited due to lack of availability, costs, and delays in receiving results. The goals of antifungal susceptibility testing should mirror those of antibacterial susceptibility testing: to predict clinical response or failure. Additionally, susceptibility reports should be used as a guide for physicians when transitioning patients from parenteral to oral antifungal agents. Currently, it is unknown whether antifungal susceptibility testing impacts treatment decisions in hospitals that routinely perform Candida susceptibility testing. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the changes in antifungal treatment based on in vitro susceptibility reports and how these decisions affect mortality, recurrence of infection, and length of hospital stay in candidemia patients.
