Active clinical trials for "Infections"

The Investigators propose to set up a preventive trial of infection in hospital workers at risk of coronavirus infection by comparing the rate of SARS-Cov-2 infection in a population of negative SARS-Cov-2 hospital workers receiving preventively azithromycin, hydroxychloroquine or a Placebo

To assess the prevalence of blood-borne viral infections in prisons in Belgium, screening will be executed in several prisons in Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia to obtain a geographical representative distribution. Upon informed consent screening will be performed using whole capillary blood (finger prick testing) with three different tests for HCV Ab, HBsAg and HIV. Screening will be performed first. While awaiting the test result (15-20min), the participant can fill out a questionnaire (together with the study nurse), concerning risk factors for HCV, HBV and HIV infection. This questionnaire is filled out directly online, and will be immediately implemented in the encoded database. The database is set-up according to the rules of good clinical practice. (Castor EDC software). The results will be filled out immediately by the prison staff in this database after it is filled out by the participant, minimizing the risk of displacement of test results.

Suspension of Angiotensin Receptor Blockers and Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Adverse Outcomes in Hospitalized Patients With Coronavirus Infection.

Investigators designed an open, two-arm study to compare fecal microbiota transplant by oral capsules (FMT-c ) versus FMT-c enriched with Lactobacillus for treatment of C. difficile recurrent infection

Microbial keratitis is an infection of the cornea that is associated with risk of permanent visual impairment. It can be caused by bacteria, virus, fungus, protozoa and parasites. The common risk factors for infectious keratitis include ocular trauma, contact lens wear, recent ocular surgery, preexisting ocular surface disease, dry eyes, lid deformity, corneal sensation impairment, chronic use of topical steroids and systemic immunosuppression .

This is a multi-center study with a minimum of three sites in the United States. The study will enroll approximately 1750 female subjects, 14 years of age and older, and will have a study duration of approximately 9 months after enrollment of the first subject. Female subjects seen at the participating sites for any reason will be evaluated for enrollment in this study. All subjects will be managed per standard of care as applicable. Subjects who are enrolled in the study will perform self-collection of a vaginal swab to be tested by Click device and allow the health care provider (HCP) to collect three additional vaginal swabs to be tested by recognized FDA-cleared comparator methods. Subjects will complete the study in a single visit. The primary objective is to assess the performance of the Click device for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) in self-collected vaginal specimens as compared to Patient Infected Status (PIS) determined by three approved comparator assays using vaginal specimens collected by a qualified HCP in support of obtaining FDA clearance. and a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) Waiver.

From the profiles of antibiotic susceptibility data following eradication therapy, tetracycline, amoxicillin and levofloxacin are all good candidates of antibiotics used in the rescue treatment.

This study will assess the impact of automated reminders for the 6 month and 12 month vaccine visits to increase vaccination in parents experiencing logistic barriers to vaccination.

Subjects who underwent a dental implant surgery were studied.Subjects randomly were aligned into three groups:In group 1, subjects received prophylactic antibiotic orally (Amoxicillin 2mg ,1 hour before surgery) and post-surgical antibiotic (Amoxicillin 500 mg , q8h for five days), subjects received only prophylactic antibiotic (Amoxicillin 2mg ,1 hour before surgery) in group 2 ,and in group 3, subjects received post-surgical antibiotic (Amoxicillin 500 mg , q8h for five days). The sign and symptom of infection were studied and the incidence of infection in each group was determined.

Sternal Wound Infection (SWI) in open heart surgery is one of the most annoying and avoidable complications that one encounters during work. Investigators investigate the rates of sternal wound infection (SWI) in patients in whom were used locking compression plates (LCP) versus in patients in whom were used wires to fixate the sternum for variable causes. SWI increases the overall cost and burden in the medical service and increases the patients suffering and disability. investigators aim to provide our patients with the most suitable means for sternal fixation.
