Staphylococcal necrotizing pneumonia
MONDO:0018183Staphylococcal necrotizing pneumonia is a rare, bacterial, pulmonary infectious disease, caused by a Panton-Valentine leukocidin-producing Staphylococcus aureus strain, characterized by severe respiratory failure, extensive, rapidly progressing pneumonia and hemorrhagic lung necrosis. Patients typically present with influenza-like symptoms, such as fever, cough, and chest pain, as well as hemoptysis, hypotension, leukopenia, and severe respiratory symptoms that rapidly evolve to acute respiratory distress syndrome and septic shock. High mortality is associated.

Hospital at home: new study tests home care for infections
Disease control OngoingThis study looks at whether a special team of doctors and nurses can treat adults with suspected infections at home, instead of sending them to the hospital. About 500 people will be randomly assigned to either standard hospital care or home-based care from a mobile response team…

Personalized antibiotic dosing may boost infection treatment
Disease control OngoingThis study tests whether using personalized dosing (based on drug levels in the blood) for the antibiotic teicoplanin works better than standard dosing for treating bacterial infections. About 74 adults in hospital intensive care or other units will take part. The goal is to see …
