We review T2Candida panel performance in diagnosing invasive candidiasis,
potential roles of T2Candida, and other culture-independent tests in patient
management and antifungal stewardship, and diagnosis and treatment of infections
by Candida auris, which has emerged globally as a cause of nosocomial outbreaks.
In 2 multicenter trials, T2Candida was 90% sensitive and 98% specific for

The evolving epidemiology of people living with HIV (PLWH) shows growing trends
towards age-related conditions and diseases. As antiretroviral therapies (ART)
have improved, AIDS-related cancers have declined but non-AIDS-related cancers
are on the rise. Despite advances in HIV care, there continues to be significant
health outcome disparities between PLWH with cancer compared to the general

Moving to a Dengue Preventive Treatment Through New VaccinesCurrent Treatment Options in Infectious Diseases - Tập 9 - Trang 347-355 - 2017
Eduardo A. Fernandez
Dengue fever is a viral disease with no curative treatment. However, symptomatic
treatment exists to alleviate the fever and provide analgesia to the multiple
types of pain mainly headache, arthralgia, myalgia, and retro-ocular pain.
Antiviral drugs to interfere with the process of viral replication are still
under investigation. In the past, homeopathic treatment has been tried as well,
with no s... hiện toàn bộ
Antimicrobial Stewardship in Low- and Middle-Income CountriesCurrent Treatment Options in Infectious Diseases - Tập 10 - Trang 17-27 - 2018
Juan Ignacio Dapás, Rodolfo E. Quirós
Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is one of the core elements of infection
prevention and control, but in many resource-limited countries its
implementation is absent or suboptimal. There is inadequate information on the
best model for an AMS program. AMS should be adapted to each region according to
sociocultural dimensions, financing, and antimicrobial resistance. Many of
antimicrobials prescribed... hiện toàn bộ

Infections with organisms of the genera Rickettsia and Orientia are
undifferentiated in regard to their manifesting signs and symptoms. Hence, a
high degree of suspicion is required when a patient has a compatible illness
coupled with exposure to potential vectors. Confirmatory diagnosis is usually
retrospective, as it is obtained through serologic methods to determine
seroconversion or a fourfold... hiện toàn bộ
