Journal ArticleDOI
A 5-day course of oral desensitization to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (T/S) in patients with human immunodeficiency virus type-1 infection who were previously intolerant to T/S

TL;DR: These preliminary results show that most patients who were thought to be intolerant to T/S and had no sulfamethoxazole-specific IgE can be safely desensitized and received the drug subsequently as an effective prophylaxis for PCP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical validation of quantitative SARS-CoV-2 antigen assays to estimate SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in nasopharyngeal swabs.

TL;DR: Results indicate that SQT is highly concordant with RT-PCR and should be useful for the diagnosis of COVID-19 in any clinical setting and will contribute to the expansion of the testing capability for SARS-CoV-2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incorrect diagnosis of Clostridium difficile infection in a university hospital in Japan.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a significant number of CDI cases in Japan might be overlooked or misdiagnosed in clinical practice due to a lack of clinical suspicion and limitations of microbiological testing for CDI in Japan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virulence-suppressing effects of linezolid on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: possible contribution to early defervescence.
TL;DR: It is suggested that sub-MICs of LZD might suppress virulence factors of MRSA, which may be associated with a reduction in endogenous pyrogens, and may explain at least in part early defervescence observed in L ZD-treated individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Characterization of Extraintestinal Escherichia coli Isolates in Japan: Relationship between Sequence Types and Mutation Patterns of Quinolone Resistance-Determining Regions Analyzed by Pyrosequencing

TL;DR: A pyrosequencing-based high-throughput method for analyzing the nucleotide sequence of the quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) of gyrA and parC successfully determined the QRDR sequences of 139 out of 140 clinical Escherichia coli isolates, 28% of which were nonsusceptible to ciprofloxacin.
