The role of biochemical variations and genotype testing in determining the virological response of patients infected with hepatitis C virus
Conclusions: Although the IL28B sequence variation is the major factor that can influence response rates to antiviral therapy, viral and biochemical factors also have a definite role to play in the diagnosis, etiology, and treatment outcome in HCV-infected patients.

Clonal lineage diversity, antibiotic resistance, and virulence determinants among methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus isolated from nurses at a teaching hospital in Ilam, Iran: Successful nares decolonization by mupirocin
Conclusion: We cannot give conclusive suggestions about the correlation between nasal carriage and infections, but we suggest the monitoring of all healthcare workers annually, decontamination of their noses by using mupirocin and other antistaphylococcal agents, and also the washing of their hands at least every 2 h.

Proteomic analysis of avian influenza A (H7N9) patients within a family cluster
Conclusions: Significant perturbation of the response upon viral infection occurred immediately after confirmation of H7N9 virus infection. The differential protein profiles shed further light on distinguishing the index case from the asymptomatic one. Furthermore, apolipoproteins may play an important role in the progression of the disease. (Source: Journal of Global Infectious Diseases)

Early results of fecal microbial transplantation protocol implementation at a community-based university hospital
Conclusions: This pilot study supports the efficacy and safety of FMT administration for CDI in the setting of a community-based university hospital. Following FMTP implementation, primary (86%) and overall (94%) nonsurgical cure rates were similar to those reported in other studies. The potential role of opioids as a modulator of CDI warrants further clinical investigation. (Source: Journal of Global Infectious Diseases)

Hepatitis C infection become a common issue among hemodialysis patients in a hemodialysis center Jakarta, Indonesia, and survival comparison of hemodialysis patients with hepatitis infection between two hemodialysis centers in Jakarta, Indonesia, and Penang, Malaysia
Conclusion: Besides providing special HD rooms and machines for HD patients with hepatitis C, minimizing blood transfusion to the patients on HD is also important to reduce the chance for the patients to acquire hepatitis C and to increase the percentage of survival.

Suspected Artesunate Resistant Malaria in South India
We report four cases of complicated malaria in Andhra Pradesh-Orissa border between July 2016 and December 2016, with apparent treatment failure with artemisinin drugs, and all showing parasitological clearance after quinine and adjuvant clindamycin therapy. However, one case died due to complications of malaria. We highlight the need for increased monitoring and surveillance to identify artemisinin combination therapy resistance in other parts of India apart from Northeastern states. It is also essential to ensure rationale use of the existing antimalarial drugs. (Source: Journal of Global Infectious Diseases)
