Acute myopericarditis can be caused by a myriad of infectious and non-infectious aetiologies, however, it is often considered to be due to self-limiting viral infection. spp. myopericarditi...
Invasive infections due to spp. (a Gram-positive coryneform) are extremely rare. Only a few cases of bloodstream infections and endocarditis have been described, as bacteraemia due to coryn...
Preliminary reports suggested that presepsin was a powerful biomarker for sepsis in a general population. However, presepsin levels change with age. This study aimed to investigate the diagn...
Sepsis is not a monolithic disease, but a loose collection of symptoms with diverse outcomes. Thus, stratification and subtyping of sepsis patients is of great importance. We examine the tem...
Ever decreasing efficiency of antibiotic treatment due to growing antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria is a critical issue in clinical practice. The two generally accepted major appr...
The intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) is for many surgeons a pragmatic solution for the operative treatment of extensive and complex abdominal wall hernias. A few years after mesh implanta...

We recently found that distinct body temperature trajectories of infected patients correlated with survival. Understanding the relationship between the temperature trajectories and the host ...
Despite the high prevalence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections, reports on severe life-threatening M. pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) in children are limited.We retrospectively enrolled pediatri...
Neonatal sepsis is a bloodstream infection primarily caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), Group B Streptococcus (GBS), Listeria monocytogenes, Haemophilus influenzae, S. aureus, Klebsiella ...
Sepsis and sterile both release "danger signals' that induce the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). So differentiating infection from SIRS can be challenging. Precision diagnost...
People who inject drugs (PWID) commonly experience harms related to their injecting, many of which are consequences of modifiable drug use practices. There is currently a gap in our understa...
Patients with HIV are more likely to require a total hip arthroplasty (THA) because of an increase in life expectancy and complications with HIV. The purpose of this study is to describe ...
Despite continued advances and developments in neonatal medicine, neonatal sepsis is the third leading cause of neonatal mortality and a major public health problem, especially in developing...
Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of worldwide morbidity and mortality. Blood cultures are considered the gold standard for diagnosis, but results are often delayed for 24 to 48 hours, and ...
This study aimed to describe the epidemiology of vertically transmitted sepsis (VS) and nosocomial sepsis (NOS) in very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates (birth weight ≤ 1,500 g) o...
Despite the large number of pregnant women with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), there is not enough analytical study to compare maternal and fetal consequences of COVID-19 infected ...
Sepsis occurs when an infection induces a dysregulated immune response, and is most commonly bacterial in origin. This condition requires rapid treatment for successful patient outcomes. How...
Immune dysfunction can occur during sepsis or following major trauma. Decreased monocyte HLA-DR expression and cytokine responses are associated with mortality. Recent studies have shown tha...
Cushing's syndrome is characterized by excessive cortisol and immuno-suppression. We experienced a case of Cushing's syndrome caused by adrenocortical carcinoma that was complicated by multi...
