Pancytopenia following adjuvant therapy with interferon gamma (IFN- γ) in a patient with disseminated nocardiosis
We report a case of pancytopenia following treatment with recombinant interferon gamma (IFN- γ) in a patient with disseminated nocardiosis. A 78-year-old woman presented with non-specific symptoms of general weakness, cough, fever, right-hand paresis, unsteady gait, and vision deterioration. Her medical record revealed multiple allergic reactions, notably to salicylates (including aspirin) , histamines, penicillin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, bisoprolol, and iodide. She reported having Henoch–Schönlein purpura, asthma, and arterial hypertension. (Source: International Journal of Infectious Diseases)

Adsorption characteristics of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride on polystyrene microplastics in freshwater
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Mar 4. doi: 10.1007/s11356-024-32750-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn order to reveal the adsorption mechanism of microplastics (MPs) on antibiotics, polystyrene (PS) was chosen as a typical microplastic, Fenton and high-temperature aging methods were used to obtain aged MPs particles. The adsorption behavior and mechanism of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CIP) on PS before and after aging were studied by batch adsorption experiments, and other influencing environmental conditions were evaluated concurrently. The results showed that the adsorption of CIP on PS was an exothermic reaction, t...

Isolation, Identification, Antimicrobial Resistance, Genotyping, and Whole-Genome Sequencing Analysis of < em > Salmonella < /em > Enteritidis Isolated from a Food-Poisoning Incident
Pol J Microbiol. 2024 Mar 4;73(1):69-89. doi: 10.33073/pjm-2024-008. eCollection 2024 Mar 1.ABSTRACTSalmonella enterica is a common pathogen in humans and animals that causes food poisoning and infection, threatening public health safety. We aimed to investigate the genome structure, drug resistance, virulence characteristics, and genetic relationship of a Salmonella strain isolated from patients with food poisoning. The pathogen strain 21A was collected from the feces of patients with food poisoning, and its minimum inhibitory concentration against commonly used antibiotics was determined using the strip test and Kirby-Ba...
