Escherichia Coli Enteritis in Ireland
Rates of disease due to Verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) in Ireland have increased dramatically since 2010, and are currently eight-fold those reported in the United States. Significantly, corresponding rates of hemolytic-uremic syndrome and E. coli O157 infection in Ireland have changed little during this period. [1-3] References: Berger S.

In January, 2018, Academic Press published my bookPrecision Medicine and the Reinvention of Human Disease. This book has an excellent " look inside " at itsGoogle book site, which includes the Table of Contents. In addition, I thought it might be helpful to see the topics listed in the Book ' s index.

Reference Labs Provide Patient Test Information to Rare Drug Manufacturer
A recent outstanding article inBloomberg by Ben Elgin and Caroline Chen detailed how Alexion Pharmaceutical developed a drug calledSoliris to treatparoxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria andatypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) (see:When the Patient Is a Gold Mine: The Trouble With Rare-Disease Drugs). The cost for this drug is astronomical but there are not many patients requiring treatment. Company reps therefore closely keep of track patients with the diseases. There is also a history of reps aggressively marketing the drug. Unfortunately,"partner labs" seem to h...

Epidemiology Pathogenesis and Genetics of Diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli Infections
Epidemiology, Pathogenesis and Genetics of Diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli Infectionsfrom T. Ramamurthy and M. John Albert writing in Foodborne and Waterborne Bacterial Pathogens: Epidemiology, Evolution and Molecular Biology:There are five categories of diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) namely enterotoxigenic, enteropathogenic, enterohaemorrhagic, enteroinvasive and enteroaggregative. They have evolved from nonpathogenic commensal strains by acquisition of specific virulence genes through mobile genetic elements. Their pathogenesis differs and they produce distinct clinical syndromes and pathological lesions and have ...
