Moving to a Dengue Preventive Treatment Through New Vaccines
Current 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
Clostridium difficile Infection: Current and Emerging Therapeutics
Current Treatment Options in Infectious Diseases - Tập 7 - Trang 317-334 - 2015
Angie M. Jarrad, Mark A. T. Blaskovich, Dena Lyras, Matthew A. Cooper
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has been identified as a significant threat to human health in the twenty-first century. Patients with CDI experience diarrhea, gastrointestinal pain, and colonic inflammation that can be life-threatening. Antibiotic therapy is successful at treating the majority of patients with CDI, but an increased number of CDI cases over the last ...... hiện toàn bộ
Pearls in Infection Control for Clostridium difficile Infections in Healthcare Facilities
Current Treatment Options in Infectious Diseases - Tập 9 - Trang 117-128 - 2017
Adrián Camacho-Ortiz, Susana Chavez-Moreno
Prevention of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a complex task; adequate and sustained success is difficult to obtain. Focus on prevention has to start by analyzing the targeted patient population; the most important risk factors for development of CDI are previous exposure to antibiotics, hospitalization and advanced age. Thus, limiting antibiotic exposure and over exposure with an antibio...... hiện toàn bộ
Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance: on the Cusp of a Post-antibiotic World
Current Treatment Options in Infectious Diseases - Tập 11 - Trang 42-57 - 2019
Kameron Sprigg, Carolynn E. Pietrangeli
The specific aim of this article is to provide evidence that antibiotic resistance (AR) has become a human disease unto itself and to describe the current means of preventing, treating, and reversing AR in individuals and in affected populations. An ever-increasing number of infections are being classified as multidrug resistant (MDR). Low and middle-income countries are most likely to increase th...... hiện toàn bộ
Host Lipid Response in Tropical Diseases
Current Treatment Options in Infectious Diseases - Tập 12 - Trang 243-257 - 2020
Monther Alsultan, Joshua Morriss, Daniel Contaifer, Naren Gajenthra Kumar, Dayanjan S. Wijesinghe
Herein, we summarize recent findings of novel lipid interactions between hosts and pathogens with the hope that further research is pursued in this emerging area of tropical disease lipidomics. Hard-to-treat tropical diseases may be viral, parasitic, or bacterial in origin. Primarily caused in regions with high population densities, the lack of rapid diagnostic methods, effective long-term treatme...... hiện toàn bộ
Treatment of Non-Aspergillus Mold Infections: a Focus on Mucormycosis and Fusariosis
Current Treatment Options in Infectious Diseases - Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 401-417 - 2019
Pakpoom Phoompoung, Me‐Linh Luong
HIV and Pregnancy
Current Treatment Options in Infectious Diseases - Tập 6 - Trang 183-195 - 2014
Mary A. Vogler
Antiretroviral therapy during pregnancy and breastfeeding is a proven strategy to help prevent mother to child transmission of HIV-1. Pharmacokinetic and physiologic changes during pregnancy affect absorption and distribution of effective antiretroviral therapy, and can result in lower therapeutic concentrations of drug although this may not impact mother to child transmission. Continued antiretro...... hiện toàn bộ
Use of Electronic Health Record Clinical Decision Support Tools in Antimicrobial Stewardship Activities
Current Treatment Options in Infectious Diseases - Tập 7 - Trang 90-100 - 2015
Jordan Rush, Michael Postelnick, Lucas Schulz
The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America and the Infectious Disease Society of America (SHEA/IDSA) released guidelines outlining the strategies of antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) activities in 2006. These strategies have been supported by advances in technology, beginning with the novel use of clinical decision support systems (CDSS) at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, UT. This so...... hiện toàn bộ
Innovative Strategies for Preventing Central-Line Associated Infections
Current Treatment Options in Infectious Diseases - Tập 6 - Trang 1-16 - 2013
E. Bouza, M. Guembe, María J. Pérez-Granda
In recent years, healthcare associated infections (HAIs), and central line-associated bloodstream infections in particular (CLABSI), are being viewed as “preventable” events. It has been estimated that up to 70 % of CLABSI episodes may be preventable with the implementation of evidence-based strategies pretending to reach the zero incidence. The most effective procedures, which have demonstrated t...... hiện toàn bộ
Antifungal Stewardship in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Current Treatment Options in Infectious Diseases - - 2019
Fernando Riera, Juan Pablo Caeiro, Claudia Elena Sotomayor
Antifungal stewardship refers to coordinated interventions designed to improve and measure the appropriate use of antifungals by promoting the selection of the optimal antifungal drug regimen, dose, duration of therapy, and route of administration. The high mortality associated with invasive fungal diseases (IFDs), combined with suboptimal diagnostic tools, has driven the overuse of antifungal dru...... hiện toàn bộ
