Melioidosis in Patients with COVID-19 Exposed to Contaminated Tap Water, Thailand, 2021
Emerg Infect Dis. 2024 Apr;30(4):791-794. doi: 10.3201/eid3004.231476.ABSTRACTIn September 2021, a total of 25 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 developed acute melioidosis after (median 7 days) admission to a COVID-19 field hospital in Thailand. Eight nonpotable tap water samples and 6 soil samples were culture-positive for Burkholderia pseudomallei. Genomic analysis suggested contaminated tap water as the likely cause of illness.PMID:38526300 | PMC:PMC10977828 | DOI:10.3201/eid3004.231476 (Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases)

Women's caesarean section preferences: A multicountry cross-sectional survey in low- and middle-income countries
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that a high proportion of women prefer vaginal birth and highlight that the preference for caesarean section is linked to women's fear of pain and the influence of doctors. These results can inform the development of interventions aimed at supporting women and their preferences, providing them with evidence-based information and changing doctors' behaviour in order to reduce the number of unnecessary caesarean sections.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY: The QUALI-DEC trial is registered on the Current Controlled Trials website (https://www.isrctn.com/) under the number ISRCTN67214403.PMID:38520954 | ...

A Potential Therapeutic Approach According to Traditional Thai Medicine Theory for Post-COVID-19 Syndrome Treatment: An Observational Retrospective Clinical Study
CONCLUSIONS: The TTM clinical practice guideline for treating post-COVID-19 syndrome effectively improved the overall physical health capacity and symptoms associated with post-COVID-19 syndrome. Therefore, the implementation of this guideline, together with other approaches, could strengthen the treatment for post-COVID-19 to be more effective.PMID:38518168 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)

Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Simian Malaria in Wild Macaque Populations Across Thailand: Implications for Human Health
This study aims to address several research questions, including the prevalence and distribution of simian malaria in these two Thai wild macaque species, variations in infection between different macaque species and between M. fascicularis subspecies, and the genetic composition of these pathogens. Blood samples were collected from 82 M. mulatta and 690 M. fascicularis across 15 locations in Thailand, as well as two locations in Vietnam and Myanmar. We employed quantitative real-time PCR targeting the Plasmodium genus-specific 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene to detect malaria infection, with a limit of detection set at 1,21...
