Active clinical trials for "Asymptomatic Infections"

This is an open label randomised controlled study of oral ivermectin (600 mcg/kg/d* 3 day) versus combined of hydroxychloroquine plus darunavir/ ritonavir for 5 days treatment among asymptomatic carrier of SAR-CoV2 adult Thai population. Both study treatment regimens will have oral zinc sulfate combination treatment ( 200mg. twice daily). Outcomes include safety and duration of detectable of SAR-CoV2 in nasopharyngeal/ throat (NP) swab by polymerase chain reaction amplification (PCR) after treatment. 40-50 patients in each treatment arm is planned, with an interim analysis when approximately 50% of cases is enrolled.

Screening for genital infection (GI), sexually transmitted infection (STI) and asymptomatic carriage of group B streptococcus (GBS) in pregnant women is a common reason for medical appointments. Conventional testing is performed by using vaginal and/or cervical classic sampling (VCS). Vaginal self-sampling (VSS) has progressively emerged as an alternative to VCS for STI agent screening. The use of vaginal self-sampling (VSS) could facilitate follow-ups and potentially help in the prevention of gynaecological disorders.

Retrospective single-center cohort study to evaluate the incidence of colonization by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) in mechanically ventilated patients admitted to a large intensive care unit (ICU) for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic (October 2020-May 2021) in Lombardy, Italy. As secondary outcomes, the study evaluates the overall incidence of infections during the ICU stay and assesses the risk factors associated to bacterial superinfection and MDRO colonization.

Detection of the drug resistance molecular markers for falciparum and vivax in Longitudinal follow-up samples collected in Shwegyin Township, Bago Region that is Artemisinin Resistance Containment Tier I.

A cross-sectional study will be conducted in selected 2 sentinel sites for assessment of drug resistance falciparum and vivax among asymptomatic infection in migrant workers in Myanmar.

Fungal colonization causes opportunistic infection that may manifest when the host's immune status deteriorates. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of fungal colonization in immunocompromised subjects compared to healthy controls.

The goal of this research program is to understand the natural history of asymptomatic bacteriuria in the renal transplant patients, to determine if screening for asymptomatic bacteriuria and identification of key host characteristics and virulence factors present on uropathogenic bacteria identifies a sub-population of patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria that are at risk to develop symptomatic urinary tract infection. Ultimately, the knowledge obtained from this study will prevent inappropriate antibiotic use and may identify whether certain bacterial isolates predispose to renal allograft injury. We will test the hypothesis that (i) asymptomatic bacteriuria is common in the renal allograft recipient and (ii) that symptomatic urinary tract infection and renal allograft dysfunction do not occur unless key host susceptibility factors and uropathogenic bacterial virulence factors are present.

It is hypothesized that the procalcitonin has a role to play in prediction of intra-amniotic subclinical infection.
