Adenovirus and < em > Mycoplasma pneumoniae < /em > co-infection as a risk factor for severe community-acquired pneumonia in children
CONCLUSIONS: AdV and MP were dominant pathogens in children with severe CAP. AdV and MP infection predisposed each other to develop severe illness. AdV-MP co-infection may lead to severe pneumonia.PMID:38357505 | PMC:PMC10864498 | DOI:10.3389/fped.2024.1337786 (Source: Adv Data)

Evaluating Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae screening and treatment among asymptomatic pregnant women to prevent preterm birth and low birthweight in Gaborone, Botswana: A secondary analysis from a non-randomised, cluster-controlled trial
CONCLUSION: A C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae infection screening and treatment intervention among asymptomatic pregnant women may have reduced preterm birth or low birthweight outcomes, but results were not statistically significant. Post-hoc analysis found that the intervention reduced adverse outcomes among nulliparous participants.PMID:38351649 | DOI:10.1111/1471-0528.17775 (Source: BJOG : An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology)

Chlamydial Proctitis Mimicking Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a Young Active Duty Sailor With Undiagnosed Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection: A Case Report
We present the case of a young male sailor with subacute rectal bleeding who was hospitalized with initial concern for an index presentation of IBD. Endoscopic evaluation revealed proctitis although findings were atypical for inflammation related to IBD. Acquisition of additional history revealed that he had both receptive and insertive anal intercourse with both male and female partners. A full STI screening, including HIV was performed. Results were positive for both rectal C. trachomatis and HIV antigen and antibody serology, which were confirmed as HIV-1 on confirmatory testing. He was treated with doxycycline for his ...

For persons presenting with ulcerative findings on examination, in addition to syphilis, Mpox, lymphogranuloma venereum, and herpes simplex virus should be in the differential. Providers should also be aware that there are evolving data to support a role for Mycoplasma genitalium in proctitis. Performing a comprehensive history, clinical evaluation...
