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.

Abstract:

Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disturbance in hospitalized children, with a reported incidence of 15–30%, but its overall incidence and severity are not well known. The objective of our study was to determine the incidence, severity, and associated risk factors of community- and hospital-acquired hyponatremia on a general pediatric ward. Data of 5550 children admitted from June 2012 to December 2019 on plasma sodium and discharge diagnosis were analyzed by logistic regression model. Clinically relevant diagnostic groups were created. Hyponatremia was classified as mild, moderate,

Introduction.Community-acquired pneumonia is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of respiratory infections in pregnant and nonpregnant patients are generally similar, although there are risk factors. The incidence rates of community-acquired pneumonia in pregnant women range from 0.2 to 8.5 per 1,000 births. Concomitant diseases such as asthma, smoking, malnutrition, liver disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and pregnancy increase the risk of complications. A wide range of microorganisms can cause pneumonia during

Abstract:

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a significant cause of healthcare-associated infections in Europe. It has become increasingly prevalent in community settings, causing skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). Managing community-acquired (CA) MRSA infections is challenging due to its high virulence and resistance to common antibiotics, and prevention outside the hospital setting is complex. Combination therapy has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of severe MRSA infections. Furthermore, surgical source control is critical in treating CA-MRSA infections, inv

Abstract:

Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) can induce infections of the skin and soft tissues, as well as pneumonia with necrosis. Following a minor injury, a patient developed ankle cellulitis, MRSA bacteremia, necrotizing pneumonia, respiratory failure, shock, and multiple thrombi. This case illustrates the fulminant course, the potential need for empiric antibiotic coverage upon admission for MRSA, and the high probability of thrombotic complications in these patients.

Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is one of the most important virulence factors of S. aureus associated with serious complications.
