La infección por VIH podría aumentar los riesgos de infarto y de accidente cerebrovascular (ACV) tanto como los factores de riesgo más tradicionales, la diabetes y el tabaquismo, según indica un ...
- INFECTOLOGÍA: -Nuevos fármacos desbancan a vancomicina contra los SARM
Antibióticos como linezolid, tigeciclina o daptomicina se muestran como altenativas en caso de fracaso del tratamiento con vancomicina de las infecciones por Staphylococcus aureus resistente a la ...
- INFECTOLOGÍA: -Comparison of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine, unsupervised artemether-lumefantrine, and unsupervised artesunate-amodiaquine fixed-dose formulation for uncomplicated plasmodium falciparum malaria in benin: a randomized effectiveness noninferiorit
Background. We compared sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) with unsupervised artemether-lumefantrine (AL) and unsupervised amodiaquine-artesunate (ASAQ) fixed-dose formulation for the treatment of ...
- INFECTOLOGY: -Impact of acyclovir on genital and plasma HIV-1 RNA, genital herpes simplex virus Type 2 DNA, and ulcer healing among HIV-1–infected african women with herpes ulcers: a randomized placebo-controlled trial
Background. Little is known about the impact of episodic treatment of herpes on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Methods. Women from Ghana and the Central African Republic who had genital ...
- INFECTOLOGY: -Interleukin-2 before antiretroviral therapy in patients with HIV infection: a randomized trial (ANRS 119)
Background. Interleukin (IL)–2 increases CD4 T cell counts when combined with antiretroviral therapy (ART). Whether IL-2 alone can increase CD4 cell counts is unknown. Methods. A total of 130 adults ...
- INFECTOLOGY: -Dengue virus infection differentially regulates endothelial barrier function over time through Type I interferon effects
Background. The morbidity and mortality resulting from dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are largely caused by endothelial barrier dysfunction and a unique vascular leakage syndrome. The mechanisms ...
- INFECTOLOGY: -DNA vaccination with a single-plasmid construct coding for viruslike particles protects mice against infection with a highly pathogenic avian influenza a virus
Background. With seasonal outbreaks affecting millions of people each year and devastating pandemics, human influenza is a major health concern. The pandemic threat includes highly pathogenic avian ...
- INFECTOLOGY: -Randomized, double-blind controlled phase 3 trial comparing the immunogenicity of high-dose and standard-dose influenza vaccine in adults 65 years of age and older
Background. Influenza-associated morbidity and mortality has not decreased in the last decade, despite increased receipt of vaccine. To improve the immunogenicity of influenza vaccine, a high-dose ...
- INFECTOLOGY: -Serogroup-specific risk factors for shiga toxin–producing escherichia coli infection in australia
Background. Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is an important cause of foodborne illness. In Australia, risk factors for STEC infection have not been examined at a national level. ...
- INFECTOLOGY: -Immunogenicity and reactogenicity of pneumococcal polysaccharide and conjugate vaccines in alaska native adults 55–70 years of age
Background. Vaccination with conjugate vaccines stimulates T cell–dependent immunity, whereas vaccination with polysaccharide vaccines does not. Thus, vaccination with the 7-valent pneumococcal ...
- INFECTOLOGY: -Malaria as a cause of morbidity and mortality in children with homozygous sickle cell disease on the coast of kenya
Background. To date, it has been widely assumed that malaria is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) in malaria-endemic countries, and as a result, ...
- INFECTOLOGY: -Changing epidemiology of invasive pneumococcal disease in canada, 1998–2007: update from the calgary-area streptococcus pneumoniae research (CASPER) Study
Background. Routine infant vaccination with 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) began in the Calgary Health Region (Alberta, Canada) in 2002. We measured the impact of this vaccine program ...
- INFECTOLOGY: -Resistant escherichia coli we are what we eat
Escherichia coli is a frequent cause of life-threatening bloodstream infections [1] and other common infections, such as urinary tract infections. Antibiotic resistance rates in E. coli are rapidly ...
- INFECTOLOGY: -Molecular analysis of escherichia coli from retail Meats (2002–2004) from the United States national antimicrobial resistance monitoring system
Background. The origins and virulence potential of meat product–associated Escherichia coli are undefined. Methods. Two hundred eighty-seven E. coli isolates (145 resistant and 142 susceptible to ...
- FULTEXTO: -VACUNACIÓN E INFECTOLOGÍA: -Impacto de la vacuna neumocócica conjugada heptavalente en una población con valores bajos-intermedios de vacunación
