Leptospirosis in an urban setting: cases diagnosed at a private medical center of Western Colombia, 2008-2012(†).
CONCLUSION: Leptospirosis is an emerging infectious disease that has changed from an occupational disease of veterinarians, farmers, butchers, and other animal handlers to a cause of epidemics in poor and decayed urban communities in developing countries, including those in Latin America such as Colombia.

Cesarean or Cesarean Epidemic?
Abstract
Due to advances in surgical procedure, anesthesia techniques, blood transfusion and antibiotic therapy, the technique of cesarean section has been progressing over the time. However, cesarean section is still a risk-specific operation, with long-term and shortterm consequences for the mother and neonate. The rate of cesarean surgery is constantly growing due to both justifiable and nonjustifiable medical and non-medical reasons. There is evidence indicating that efforts are made in many countries to reduce the rate of cesarean delivery. In this review article, we try to assess the frequency of cesarean se...

Septic Pulmonary Embolism. A Contemporary Profile
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1758742Septic pulmonary embolism (SPE) is a rare clinical entity that is distinct from the classic and more common non-septic thrombotic pulmonary embolism. SPE should be suspected in patients with a systemic acute inflammatory reaction or sepsis who develop signs and symptoms of pulmonary involvement. The diagnosis of SPE depends on the specific radiologic finding of multiple, peripheral, nodular, possibly cavitated lesions. SPE should prompt an immediate search for the primary source of infection; typically, right-sided infective endocarditis, cardiac implantable electronic devices...

A Nosocomial Outbreak of Clinical Sepsis in a Neonatal Care Unit (NCU) in Port-Au-Prince Haiti, July 2014 – September 2015.
We describe the efforts taken by the hospital in response to the outbreak and the analysis of information results from the epidemiological and microbiological surveillance activities.
Methods
Setting
CRUO is a container hospital (established soon after the earthquake in 2010) and is equipped with 162 beds, including 106 obstetrics beds and 56 for neonates. The hospital runs on city power when available and is otherwise fully supplied by external generators. Water supply is done by a private company who provide trucked water supply. All water is filtered and chlorinated on site of the hospital to render it potable. Neo...

The Fluoroquinolone Finafloxacin Protects BALB/c Mice Against an Intranasal Infection With Francisella tularensis Strain SchuS4
Discussion
Currently, there is no licensed vaccine available which would protect people against either natural exposures or deliberate releases of F. tularensis. Antibiotic treatment is typically effective although relapse of disease has been reported in patients treated with ciprofloxacin and doxycycline (Chocarro et al., 2000; Dennis et al., 2001; Pérez-Castrillón et al., 2001; Boisset et al., 2014). This relapse correlates with the development of symptoms and the time taken to initiate therapy (Hepburn and Simpson, 2008). Thus, evaluation of alternative therapies that can be self-administered and that can...

Outpatient Antimicrobial Treatment for People Who Inject Drugs
This article reviews the changing epidemiology of infections associated with injection drug use, perceived barriers to care, features of successful programs for outpatient antimicrobial treatment, models of shared decision making at the time of discharge, and linkage to preventative care after antimicrobial completion. In the search for patient-centered care associated with a rising substance use epidemic, one must continue to strive for novel collaborative approaches to ensure that each person is treated in the best way possible to successfully complete antimicrobial therapy, and then linked to a path of lifelong health care.

Problems of < em > Clostridium difficile < /em > infection (CDI) in Polish healthcare units
Ann Agric Environ Med. 2021 Jun 14;28(2):224-230. doi: 10.26444/aaem/119321. Epub 2020 Apr 2.ABSTRACTThe issue of patient safety during the provision of health services poses a key challenge in health policy. The number of hospital-acquired infections (also known as HAI - Healthcare Associated Infection) determines the level of quality of health services provided in a given health facility. Effective management reinforced by the awareness of a team of medical professionals allows not only reduction in the hospital's finances, but also the frequency of adverse events, which undoubtedly include hospital-acquired infections. ...
