Clinical Significance of Molecular Diagnostic Tools for Bacterial Bloodstream Infections: A Systematic Review by Jean Pierre Rutanga, Therese Nyirahabimana

“…The majority of these tools focus on amplification based techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) which allows the detection of nucleic acids (both DNA and small RNAs) that are specific to bacterial species and sequencing or nucleic acid hybridization that allows the detection of bacteria in order to reduce delay of appropriate antibiotic therapy. However, there is still a need to improve sensitivity of most molecular techniques to enhance their accuracy and allow exact and on time antibiotic therapy treatment. …”

Whipple’s Disease-Associated Pulmonary Hypertension with Positive Vasodilator Response Despite Severe Hemodynamic Derangements by Salah Najm, Joud Hajjar, Robert P Nelson, Ramana S Moorthy, Karen M Wolf, Tim Lahm

“…While the patient’s symptoms responded poorly to treatment with nifedipine and sildenafil, significant improvement in dyspnea, RV dysfunction and pulmonary pressures were noted following antibiotic therapy. The present report highlights that despite severely elevated pulmonary artery pressures and RV dysfunction in WD-PH patients, a highly significant vasodilator response and dramatic improvement with antibiotic therapy may be observed. …”

Clinical characteristics and risk factors of Clostridioides difficile infection in children with diarrhoea by Ning Wang, Kun Jiang, Jinyue Huang, Mengzhu Hou, Lu Wang, Wei Wang, Yulian Fang

“…Multi-factor logistic regression analysis was used to show that a history of hospitalisation within the last three months, a history of antibiotic treatment for ≥7 days, non-breastfeeding, and a history of antibiotic combined with probiotic treatment were risk factors for CDI in children with diarrhoea (P < 0.05).ConclusionsA history of hospitalisation within the last three months, previous antibiotic treatment for ≥7 days or combined with probiotic treatment, and non-breastfeeding are risk factors for CDI in children with diarrhoea, so children with diarrhoea who present as described above need to be alerted to CDI and are advised to have active investigations to facilitate rapid and effective control of the disease and improve prognosis.…”
