Filter by:Parapneumonic pleurisies are a frequent complication of pneumopathies, but therapeutic management is poorly codified. Only the indication of thoracic drainage has benefited from expert recommendations. However, we find in the literature the major importance of early management of infectious pleurisy in order to minimize the sequelae. Pleural ultrasound, sensitive and specific in this pathology could bring us a real interest in terms of diagnostic speed and therefore of care. This study therefore seeks to show that pleural ultrasound can have a major interest in improving the management of patients with parapneumonic pleurisy, by reducing the number of medical treatment failures.
Urinary tract infections are the second most common community-acquired infections. Even if extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBLE) cause fewer urinary tract infections, their proportion is increasing. New recommendations were published by ANSM in 2015, with specific recommendations for infections due to ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. In this study, we wanted to evaluate the effectiveness of a recall of the 2015 recommendations in the form of a table attached to the ECBU report, associated with hygiene recommendations. Methodology: This prospective, multi-center, non-interventional study was conducted in collaboration with the Labazur laboratory over two 2-month periods, one without modification of the laboratory's practices, the other with the addition of documents on the CBEU report. The primary endpoint was the adequacy of prescriptions to ANSM 2015 recommendations.
Pharmacological treatment of physiologic Gastro-esophageal Reflux disease (GERD) is excessive in France, as 65%-85% of children below 11 years are being treated, frequently with Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) PPI have been associated, in adults, with an increase of infection rate but data in pediatry are scarce, especially in community medecine. Recently a study conducted in England brought up controversial results suggesting that the use of PPIs can be associated with a reduced risk of community acquired pneumonia. Our study was aimed to assess, on a population-based database, the association between PPI prescription and community infections in children of 11 years or under.
To define the etiologic agents of community acquired bacteremic syndromes (defined as septicemia, bacteremia, pneumonia and/or meningitis) in a malaria endemic setting.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of omadacycline as compared to moxifloxacin in the treatment of adults with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia.
Escherichia coli is the leading cause of community-onset gram-negative bloodstream infections. There has been a dramatic increase in the prevalence of extended-spectrum b-lactamases producing E. coli and K.pneumoniae in the community, which was considered to be exclusively a nosocomial pathogen in recent years. As a result, the treatment options for community-onset infections due to ESBL-producing E. coli or K.pneumoniae are limited and the initial empirical therapy is often ineffective and associated with increased mortality. Although there were some reports of the risk factors of community-onset ESBL producing E. coli in Spain, Korea, and Canada, few empirical data were available about China. Therefore, the investigators aim was to investigate the epidemiology, risk factors, and the hospital outcomes for patients with community-onset bacteremia caused by ESBL producing E. coli or K.pneumoniae in China.
The severe sepsis (SS) and toxic shock (TS) are both frequent and severe complications of infectious diseases. They are one of the top ten causes of death in industrialized countries. But an eventual protective role of beta-blockers (anti-hypertensive drug) in their occurrence on a community infection has never been studied. The objective of this study is to evaluate this role.
The purpose of this study is to determine the etiology of community-acquired pneumonia, to assess risk factors and to investigate potential prognostic biomarkers of serious disease and fatal outcome.
Approximately 6 healthy male subjects will be administered a single 1500 mg intravenous dose of 14C-GSK2251052 under fasted conditions. Blood, urine and fecal samples will be collected for a minimum of 14 days following study drug administration. Safety and tolerability will be monitored throughout the study. A follow-up visit will occur 7-14 days after study drug administration.
Validation of Vital Signs and Symptoms for the Diagnosis of Serious Infections in Acutely Ill Children in a High Prevalent Setting: The Paediatric Accidents & Emergencies through prospective observational data collection concerning specific items from the clinical and technical examination in diagnosing serious infections, such as meningitis, sepsis, pneumonia, pyelonephritis, bronchiolitis with hypoxia. Eventually we will attempt to validate a vital signs and symptoms rule derived from multiple low to high prevalent settings of acutely ill children.
