概括
在亚特兰大艾滋病毒阳性个体中,侵袭性非类型性Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) 感染显著增加. 在与男性发生性关系的男性中,两种不同的NTHi菌株与败血性关节炎有关,这突显了公共卫生问题.
科学领域:
- 流行病学
- 传染性疾病
- 基因组学
背景情况:
- 侵袭性非类型性Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) 感染通常会导致成年人的细菌性肺炎.
- 在基因上有多样性, 感染群很罕见.
- 在亚特兰大与男性发生性关系的HIV感染者中观察到侵入性NTHi感染的增加.
研究的目的:
- 评估2017-2018年亚特兰大大都会与男性发生性关系的HIV感染男性的侵入性NTHi感染率的上升.
- 为了比较艾滋病毒阳性和艾滋病毒阴性人群之间的NTHi感染率.
- 分析与NTHi感染集群相关的流行病学,临床和地理因素.
主要方法:
- 从2008年1月1日到2018年12月31日进行了基于人口的监测研究和队列子研究.
- 发现了具有侵入性NTHi感染的成年人 (≥18岁).
- 基因定型 (脉冲场凝电泳和全基因组测序) 用于分析NTHi分离物和确定克隆组.
主要成果:
- 与2008 - 2016年相比,2017 - 2018年艾滋病毒阳性个体和艾滋病毒阴性人群中侵入性NTHi感染率显著增加 (2008 - 2018年).
- 在侵袭性NTHi感染的年轻成年人 (18-55岁) 中,艾滋病毒感染者更有可能是男性,黑人,患有败血性关节炎.
- 在2017-2018年期间,两种基因上不同的NTHi克隆群体 (C1和C2) 被确定,C1/C2菌株在艾滋病毒阳性个体中明显更为普遍. 这些菌株与黑人与男性发生性关系的性关节炎和空间聚合有关.
结论:
- 在亚特兰大的艾滋病毒感染者中,侵入性NTHi感染的发生率显著增加.
- 两种特定的NTHi克隆菌株已经出现,它们与侵袭性疾病,特别是感染性关节炎,在易受感染的人群中有关.
- 这些发现凸显了针对HIV阳性男性与男性发生性关系的侵入性NTHi感染的监测和干预策略的需要.

Sexually Transmitted Infections
799
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic
5.3K
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures
3.5K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.

Pneumonia I: Introduction
664
Pneumonia is an acute respiratory infection that targets the lungs, specifically the alveoli. These tiny air sacs, essential for oxygen exchange, become engorged with pus and fluid, severely hindering breathing, decreasing oxygen absorption, and causing significant pain and discomfort during respiration.
Risk Factors
Various factors influence the likelihood of developing pneumonia. Age plays a crucial role, with infants, children under two, and individuals over 65 at increased risk due to their...

Endocarditis I: Introduction
331
Introduction:Endocarditis is the infection of the endocardium, the inner lining of the heart and its valves. When the heart muscle is involved, the condition is termed myocarditis, while an infection of the outer lining is called pericarditis. Infective endocarditis (IE) primarily affects the endocardium, where pathogens adhere to the valves or lining, forming vegetation that can lead to severe complications. Infective endocarditis occurs when microorganisms, usually bacteria from other body...
