Active clinical trials for "Communicable Diseases"

High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection is a necessary condition in the occurence and development of cervical squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) and cervical cancer. There are cases that high-grade SIL (HSIL) and stage IA1 cervical squamous cancer remain or reoccur, or even become more severe after conization. The infection situation of HR-HPV, which plays an important role in the prognosis of cervical lesion, should be consulted in the management and follw-up after conization. It is worthwhile making further study in the specific practical significance of the HR-HPV in the prognosis of cervical lesion, as well as the high-risk factors that influence the prognosis of HR-HPV.

Continual surveillance of both community-acquired and nosocomial bloodstream infections for specific target organisms. Analysis of comorbidities, complications, bacterial resistance patterns, bacterial genomics (e. g. via WGS and MLST typing) for the determinants of clinical outcomes. The clinical outcomes are investigated both in the short-term (up until discharge) and the long-term (six months after index blood culture by standardized questionnaire). A predictive point-of-care score is to be developed based on these data to define high-risk patient populations requiring more intensive diagnostic and/or treatment regimens.

The most commonly identified organism for Surgical Site Infection (SSI) in orthopedic surgery is Staphylococcus aureus but risk factors for mono microbial S.aureus SSI are not well-known. The aim of this study was to evaluated the incidence rate of S. aureus SSI over the years and risk factors of these infections in a french University Hospital.

The two-stage protocol is gold standard in terms of infection control treating prosthetic joint infections of total hip and total knee arthroplasty. The antibiotic pause for diagnostic reasons before reconstruction (stage two) is discussed concerning persistence of infection and development of resistant bacterial strains. Serological markers and synovial analysis are common use to exclude persistence of infection. The investigators therefore asked 1) is the serological testing of c-reactive protein and leukocytes a valuable tool to predict a persistence of infection and 2) what is the role of synovial aspiration of PMMA Spacers on hip and knee joints.

The purpose of this study is to collect data to support decisions made by BioFire regarding assay development, panel composition, and intended use for the final FilmArray CSI reagent pouch. The study will utilize whole blood and/or plasma obtained from pediatric patients under 18 years of age that present with acute fever.

Study on patients with CNS infections.

The aim of this study is to identify risk factors and prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria colonization among patients at high risk of STIs

Despite major advances, infections remain one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Furthermore, data on the epidemiology, severity, and type of post-OLT infections nowadays available come from dated, monocentric, retrospective series. Finally, there is no available data focused on the critical OLT patient admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Therefore this study was conceived (1) to describe incidence, severity, epidemiology and outcomes of infections recorded in OLT patients in the ICU (first or re-admission ); (2) to identify possible risk factors and (3) to report the type of the involved microorganism with their antibiotic sensitivity pattern

the investigators want to identify the microbial profile, antibiotic resistant bacteria in hepatic patients with infections in Liver ICU, and explore risk factors and outcomes in those patients with antibiotic resistant bacteria.

This is an observational study that does not change routine care. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the correlation between the administration of an antibiotherapy able to prevent biofilm formation according to the results of the Antibiofilmogramme test, and the relapse of the infection for patient with orthopaedic device-related infection.
