Active clinical trials for "Bacterial Infections"

This study is to answer the question is there any relationship between viral ( HSV 1 , HSV 2 , HPV 6/11, CMV, HHV 6 , HHV 8, BKV) or bacterial (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, Tannerella forsythia, Fusobacterium nucleatum) infection and occurrence of varicocele in men.

Hypothesis: A commercial e-nose (Cyranose 320) is able to detect specific breathprints from patients with COPD and bacterial infection

Background : The occurrence of Primary immune deficiencies (PID) is rare in adults. Antibody deficiencies were the first PID to be diagnosed in adulthood and are mainly represented by common variable immune deficiency. The main manifestation of these PID are encapsulated bacterial infection which used to be recurrent and/or invasive, lead to hospitalization and have high rates of morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis of PID in adulthood may be supported by six warning signs from the European Society of Immunodeficiencies (ESID). However, their guidelines do not comprehensively describe symptoms of PID, even for patients with infections. The guidelines recommend screening adults for PID after at least two severe bacterial infections. The aim of this study is to screen for PID adult admitted to our hospital for encapsulated infection without any predisposal factor. Material and methods : Monocentric study. Inclusion between September 218 and September 2021 Inclusion criteria : Age 18 to 65 years old Invasive encapsulated infection (Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogènes, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseiria meningitidis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae ) Exclusion criteria : Medical history of PID Medical history of Secondary immune deficiency (SID) Local-regional factor that could predispose them to infection Hospital-acquired infection PID screening included the following: complete blood count, blood smear, immunoglobulin (Ig) isotype (IgA,M, G) and IgG subclass levels, total hemolytic complement and complement fractions (C) 3 and 4, alternative complement pathway (AP50) in case of Neisseria meningitidis (NM) infection, quantitative immunophenotyping of T, B and natural killer cells, specific antibody response to diphtheria, tetanus and pneumococcal vaccine and HIV serology. The clinical and laboratory diagnostic criteria used to identify PID were based on guidelines from the ESID and the Pan-American Group for Immunodeficiency (PAGID) A consultation in the infectious Diseases Department or Internal Medicine will be scheduled the hospitalization 3 months later to include patients and perform PID screening.

Background: Due to anatomical restrictions, the inflammatory response to intra-cerebral bacterial infections exposes swollen brain tissues to pressure and ischemia, resulting in life-threatening damage. However, diagnosing meningitis in patients after neurosurgery is complicated, due to brain tissue damage and changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) caused by surgery. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a local, acute-phase protein. Previous studies on community-acquired septic meningitis reported high levels of intrathecal-produced HGF. Aim: The aim of present study is to evaluate a new platform for qualitative determination of HGF in body fluids and revealing the site of injury. Method: Based on a reverse-methachromacy method, strips are prepared. The surface on the strip changes colour to blue upon contact with HGF. Plan: CSF, urine and sputum of patients that develop fever post neurosurgery are analysed with the test and the results compared with conventional diagnostic methods. Clinical value: A rapid, equipment-free test gives the opportunity to identify the infectious focus in the infected organ long before culture results are available.

This study aims to collect and analyze clinical data of daptomycin to explore the efficacy and safety of daptomycin in the treatment of Gram-positive bacterial infections. And optimize the dosing regimen based on these data.

Febrile shivering in the pediatric population is assumed to be related to a Severe Bacterial Infection (SBI). Research supporting this assumption is scant. The purpose of this study is to describe the frequency of febrile shivering in the pediatric population arriving at the emergency department and to define its role in predicting a SBI.

The quality of life of carriers detected infected or colonized by emerging highly resistant bacteria (BHRe) following the implementation of specific hygiene measures during the discovery of the microorganism has been little studied. To date, there have been no studies to determine the quality of life (QoL) in France of patients with hospitalized HBHRD.

Expanded access may be provided for cefiderocol for qualified patients who have limited treatment options and are not eligible for a clinical trial.

An Expanded Access Program for UROMUNE® for patients suffering from recurrent/chronic urinary tract infections of diverse etiology. This is for individuals for whom antibiotic therapy has failed, but of consideration in all cases, taking into account antibiotic-induced adverse reactions and increasing antibiotic resistance.

Acute hepatic insults including hepatitis flare-up, active alcohol assumption and hepatotoxic drug use are common in patients with cirrhosis especially in Eastern countries.These patients are at high risk of developing acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and associated with high short-term mortality. And the natural history of these patients is frequently complicated by bacterial infections, which lead to deterioration of underlying diseases. The present study is aimed to investigate the prevalance and risk factors of bacterial infections in those patients and its impact on in-hospital/short-term mortality.
