TL;DR: Evaluating the rate of within-couple HIV transmission among serodifferent heterosexual and MSM couples during periods of sex without condoms and when the HIV-positive partner had HIV-1 RNA load less than 200 copies/mL found no phylogenetically linked transmissions.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the risk of HIV transmission in gay couples through condomless sex when HIV viral load is suppressed is effectively zero, which supports the message of the U=U (undetectable equals untransmittable) campaign, and the benefits of early testing and treatment for HIV.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Nationwide Cohort Study of Mortality Risk and Long-Term Prognosis in Infective Endocarditis in Sweden
TL;DR: The 30-days crude mortality rate for IE was 10.4% and long-term relative mortality risk remains increased even up to 5 years of follow-up, therefore a close monitoring of these patients would be of value.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cat bite wound infections: A prospective clinical and microbiological study at three emergency wards in Stockholm, Sweden
Katarina Westling,Anna Farra,Björn Cars,Anna Gerber Ekblom,Karin Sandstedt,Bo Settergren,Bengt Wretlind,Christina Jorup +7 more
TL;DR: The rate of infection following cat bites appears to be greater than that from dog bites and antibiotic treatment should cover P. multocida, which was the dominating pathogen among patients with infected cat bites.
Journal ArticleDOI
16S rDNA sequencing of valve tissue improves microbiological diagnosis in surgically treated patients with infective endocarditis
TL;DR: Molecular diagnosis using 16S rDNA sequencing of valve material was shown to be a valuable addition in blood culture-negative cases and the value of heart valve culture was low.
