Abstract:
Respiratory tract infections (influenza, acute respiratory infections (ARIs), community-acquired pneumonia, etc.) pose a serious threat to organized groups (including military personnel, cadets, students of military universities, and schools). The most common complication of ARI is community-acquired pneumonia, severe forms of which may result in an unfavorable outcome. The use of some drugs, such as Carmolis ensures a 2.0–3.8 times reduction in the incidence of ARIs in organized groups and a 2.3–3.0 times reduction in the incidence of community-acquired pneumonia. Carmolis has a pronounced no

Abstract:
Laboratory acquired infection occur globally. These infections are caused by multiple parasites and pathogens belonging to bacteria, fungi and the viruses. Laboratory acquired infections in laboratories of research and development; production installations and academic sectors i.e., teaching labs vary, but do contribute to morbidity and mortality with respect to their occurrence. The health status of a lab worker or technician is an important factor in keeping the community health as these acquired infections easily get introduced into the community.

Abstract:
End-stage liver disease patients undergoing liver transplantation are prone to develop numerous infectious complications because of immunosuppression, surgical interventions, and malnutrition. Infections in transplant recipients account for the main cause of mortality and morbidity with rates of up to 80%. The challenges faced in the early post-transplant period tend to be linked to transplant procedures and nosocomial infections commonly in bloodstream, surgical, and intra-abdominal sites. Viral infections represent an additional complication of immunosuppression; they can be donor-derived, r

Abstract:
Infections remain a common complication of solid-organ transplantation and are a major factor of morbidity and mortality in renal transplant recipients. The incidence of infection in renal transplant patients is directly related to the net immunosuppressive effect achieved and the duration of the administration of immunosuppressive therapy. The major types of infections can be categorized according to the time post-transplant during which they occur: in the first month after transplantation post-surgical bacterial infections and in the period from one to four months post-transplant opportunist

Pneumonia is a detailed guide that explains the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of this common and potentially serious lung infection. The article begins by defining pneumonia and describing how it affects the air sacs in the lungs, leading to symptoms such as cough, fever, and difficulty breathing. It explores the various causes of pneumonia, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and discusses the differences between community-acquired and hospital-acquired infections.

Abstract:
The spectrum of acute kidney injury (AKI) encountered in the hospitals of the tropical zone countries is different from that seen in the non-tropical climate countries, most of which are high-income countries. The difference is explained in large part by the influence of environment on the epidemiology of human disease. The key features of geographic regions falling in the tropical zones are climatic, that is, high temperatures and absence of winter frost, and economic, that is, lower levels of income. The causes and presentation of tropical AKI reflect these prevailing cultural, socioeconomic

Abstract Community-acquired bacterial infections evolving into a sepsis syndrome are common reasons for admission to a medical intensive care unit (ICU). The nervous system is part of the cascade of multiorgan failure or is directly damaged by inflammation, septic emboli, or inflammation-related complications. Furthermore, endoscopic procedures, catheter placements, mechanical ventilation, and emergency surgical procedures may be sources for hospital-acquired infections. In susceptible patients, infection may directly involve the central nervous system.
