Case report of scrub typhus complicated by hypokalemia and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome
CONCLUSION: This report highlights the potential for atypical presentations of scrub typhus, including a previously undocumented association with hypokalemia. Although the contribution of hypokalemia to the patient's clinical course remains uncertain, this case underscores the importance of considering electrolyte imbalance in the management of patients with scrub typhus. Further research is warranted to better understand the relationship between scrub typhus and electrolyte imbalance.PMID:38477775 | PMC:PMC10926963 | DOI:10.1590/1516-3180.2023.0142.R1.08122023 (Source: Sao Paulo Medical Journal)

Application of a multiplex molecular pneumonia panel and real-world impact on antimicrobial stewardship among patients with hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia in intensive care units
CONCLUSIONS: This study identified several factors predicting bacterial detection by FAPP in critically ill patients with HAP/VAP. More than 50% real-world clinical practices were adjusted or confirmed based on the FAPP results. Clinical algorithms for the use of FAPP and antimicrobial stewardship guidelines may further enhance its benefits.PMID:38471985 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmii.2024.02.010 (Source: Journal of Microbiology, Immunology, and Infection)
