Delayed Plasmodium falciparum clearance following
artesunate-mefloquine combination therapy in
Thailand, 1997-2007

Discuss or comment on this article.
The paper analyses 31 drug efficacy studies over 10 years. Delayed resolution of parasitaemia increased in eastern Thailand. An important point is that treatment failure probably correlates more with resistance of mefloquine or the artemisinin partner drug rather than the delayed clearance which relates to artemisinin. The paper makes an important point about correlation of delayed clearance with treatment failure and finds little correlation.

The study investigated the genetic diversity of pfhrp2 in P. falciparum isolates collected from six geographical regions in India and its potential impact on the detection limit of HRP2-detecting RDT. The information on the Pfhrp2 sequence diversity in Indian parasites is of interest as this was not included in the global sequence analysis for pfhrp2 and 3.

Discuss or comment on this article.
One strategy for the control of pest insects has been the release of only males so that a lethal trait can be passed on. With mosquitoes a major stumbling block to the implementation of this strategie has been the ability to effectively identify and separate the sexes at an early stage of development using automated strategies. Here the authors show that this can achieved quite effectively through the combinatorial use of a dedicated FACS, fluorescent reporter genes, and promoters specific for early stages of development.

In vitro antibiotic susceptibility testing of Brucella isolates from Egypt between 1999 and 2007 and evidence of probable rifampin resistanceEmail this article to a colleague.

Background:
Brucellosis poses a significant public health problem in Mediterranean countries, including Egypt. Treatment of this disease is often empirical due to limited information on the antibiotic susceptibility profiles of Brucella spp. in this region of the world. The aim of this study was to determine the antibiotic susceptibility profiles of Brucella blood isolates in Egypt, a country endemic for brucellosis.
Methods:
Brucella spp. isolates were identified from the blood cultures of acute febrile illness (AFI) patients presenting to a network of infectious disease hospitals from 1999-2007. Minimum inhibitory concen...

Conclusions:
A.schaalii is an emerging pathogen in adults and children. Colonization and subsequent infection seem to be influenced by the age of the patient. In young children with high suspicion of UTI who use diapers or in children who have known abnormalities of their urogenital tract, infection with A. schaalii should be considered and empiric antimicrobial therapy chosen accordingly.

Conclusion:
While the increased susceptibility for tuberculosis infection in HTLV-1 infected subjects may be related to impairment in TNF-alpha production, the severity of tuberculosis in co-infected patients may be due to the enhancement of the Th1 inflammatory response, rather than in their decreased ability to control bacterial growth.

Abstract Although biapenem is used in the treatment of pneumonia, the clinical data on elderly patients are yet insufficient. Therefore,
the purpose of this study was evaluating the efficacy and safety of biapenem against pneumonia in the elderly and its pharmacokinetics.
The subjects were patients 65 years of age or older with pneumonia. Biapenem (300 mg) was administered once to three times
per day. For some cases, the drug concentrations in plasma were measured chronologically. The clinical efficacy was evaluated
in reference to the improvement in subjective symptoms and objective opinion. The p...

We present
here the first full-length genome sequence of two clinical isolates. Each encoded gene was compared to Inf-1. In general,
little sequence changes were noted, most could be attributed to genetic drift, since the clinical isolates originate from
2009 to 2010 and VR740 from 1962. Hot spots of substitutions were situated in the S1 region of the Spike, the nucleocapsid
gene, and the non-structural protein 3 gene, whereas several deletions were detected in the 3′UTR. Most notable was the difference
in genome organization: instead of an ORF4A and ORF4B, an intact ORF4 was present in clinical isolates.

Conclusions This study provides the first analysis of MSPCC. Indwelling time increases, whereas antibiotic prophylaxis decreases the risk
of MSPCC. The spectrum of pathogens is comparable to the one obtained from urethral catheter biofilms. Urine specimens could
not demonstrate the microbial diversity of MSPCC. SPCs are not preferable to urethral catheters to reduce CAB. Whether the
risk of CA-UTI could be minimised by SPCs remains to be clarified.

We report on a male patient who tested positive for antiphospholipid antibodies for 43 years without thromboembolic manifestation
of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). He has been followed up in a prospective cohort study since 2001. Following his second
hip replacement surgery, the patient developed acute adrenal failure due to bilateral hemorrhagic infarction. Prophylactic
anticoagulation, surgery, or an immunological reaction to blood transfusion may have triggered this late and unusually located
primary manifestation of APS in our patient.

Abstract Hand hygiene (HH) is an important measure in infection prevention to decrease transmission of microbial pathogens; however,
HH compliance by health-care workers (HCWs) remains suboptimal. One of the principal recommendations of current guidelines
is that waterless, alcohol-based hand rubs are the preferred method for HH in most situations, due to the superior efficacy
of these agents in rapidly reducing bacterial counts on hands and their ease of use. Improving HH compliance is a good quality
indicator for hospital patient safety programs. Observers can follow HCWs to perform direct HH observations;...

This article serves as a reminder that in addition to ultrasonographic probes being a potential vector for bacteria, nonsterile ultrasonographic gel may also transmit pathogens. It is important for emergency physicians to recognize the risk of transmitting infection by ultrasonographic examination and the methods that can be used to prevent this transmission. The risk is intensified when the probe and gel contact mucus membranes and nonintact skin.

Abstract The prevalence of the hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative form of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) has increased over the years
and is generally more difficult to treat. Pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) offers a durable response, finite treatment duration
and absence of viral resistance. On the other hand, the risk of viral relapse for patients discontinuing nucleos(t)ide analogues
remains a major concern for this form of treatment, raising the spectre of drug resistance and safety with long-term use.
PEG-IFN remains one of the first-line drugs for a select group of CHB patients, and with its dual immunom...

HBV chronically- infected individuals. The belief that HDV is under control is far from true. Studies from Europe have clearly

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus, a major responsible microorganism of osteomyelitis, represents a challenge to treat because of the poor penetration of antibiotics
in bone and increasing minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) to glycopeptides. The calcium-deficient apatites (CDA), closer
to the biological components found in bone and other calcified tissues, have osteoconductive properties. So, to process severe
osseous infections, CDA can be used to deliver in the infectious site antibiotics like linezolid. The acute experimental osteomyelitis
