Summary of Ceftaroline Fosamil Clinical Trial Studies and Clinical Safety
TL;DR: Ceftaroline fosamil was well tolerated, with a safety profile similar to the comparator agents used in these phase 3 trials, and did not differ from those achieved in infections due to methicillin-susceptible S. aureus.

TL;DR: Viral-bacterial coinfection during severe CAP in adults is associated with an impaired presentation and a complicated course, and the subgroup analysis of bacteria-matched patients confirmed these findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method Targeting the lytA Gene for Detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae
TL;DR: The detection of S. pneumoniae in clinical isolates was more selective using the LAMP method than using conventional PCR, and LAMP appears to be a sensitive and reliable means of diagnosing S pneumoniae infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteriological and clinical profile of Community acquired pneumonia in hospitalized patients
TL;DR: The overall rate of identification of microbial etiology of community-acquired pneumonia was 29%, which is very low, and if serological tests for legionella, mycoplasma and viruses are performed the diagnostic yield would definitely be better.
Journal ArticleDOI
SARS: clinical features and diagnosis
TL;DR: The constellation of compatible clinical and laboratory findings, together with the rather characteristic radiological features especially on HRCT and the lack of clinical response to broad‐spectrum antibiotics, should quickly arouse suspicion of SARS.

Causes of death during the first 12 years after spinal cord injury
TL;DR: Though some cause-specific mortality rates for spinal cord injured persons have declined dramatically, many remain substantially above normal and improved methods for preventing and managing these fatal complications must be developed.

Risk factors for Clostridium difficile carriage and C. difficile-associated diarrhea in a cohort of hospitalized patients
TL;DR: C. difficile was a common Nosocomial infection on this ward, resulting in asymptomatic carriage more often than diarrhea and accounting for one-fifth of all cases of nosocomial diarrhea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Factors for Clostridium difficile Carriage and C. difficile-Associated Diarrhea in a Cohort of Hospitalized Patients
TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective cohort study of 399 consecutive patients in a single ward over an 11-month period was conducted to identify risk factors for nosocomial C. difficile colonization and diarrhea.

TL;DR: The use of narrow-spectrum antibiotics for hospital treatment of community-acquired infections in the elderly should be encouraged.
