Emergency PWAS in Respiratory Infectious Disease

Viral InfectionsBacterial Infections6 more

Develop an emergency PanorOmics Wide Association Study (ePWAS) for the early, rapid biological and pathophysiological characterisation of known and novel Infectious Diseases in adult patients presenting to emergency departments with suspected, acute, community-acquired respiratory infectious disease (scaRID). Phase 1 Develop an ED-ID biobank (named ePWAS-RID). Phase 2 Targeted research for the discovery of novel diagnostics, prognostics and therapeutics

Neonatal Infection Surveillance Database

Neonatal Infection

NeonIN is a is a neonatal infection surveillance database which will facilitate active surveillance for bacterial infections through a network of neonatal units, using standardised definitions, proformas and microbiological techniques. The centralised and secure web-based database will allow real-time entry of data and rapid and timely analysis of results.

Application of Artificial Intelligence on the Diagnosis of Helicobacter Pylori Infection and Premalignant...

Helicobacter Pylori InfectionPremalignant Lesion

The aim of this diagnostic accuracy study is to evaluate the application of artificial intelligence on the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection and premalignant gastric lesions based on upper endoscopic images. We use techniques of artificial intelligence to analyze the correlation between endoscopic images and urea breath test results/histopathological results.

Mycoplasma Genitalium Infection and Associated Antimicrobial Resistance Among HIV-infected Male...

STIMycoplasma Genitalium Infection

Worldwide, Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is increasingly reported as an emerging cause of sexually transmitted infections. Internationally, the prevalence of MG is higher in male with urethritis and community groups especially among people living with HIV (PLHIV). While MG is treatable, antimicrobial resistance is a rising concern. This cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence of MG infection and the antimicrobial resistance pattern in HIV-infected male in Hong Kong. A total of 750 HIV-infected male attending HIV specialist clinic in Hong Kong would be recruited. The main outcome measures include prevalence of MG and resistance mutations to macrolide/fluoroquinolone in HIV-infected male; prevalence of MG/STI co-infections, as defined by concurrent detection of MG and one or more other bacterial STI.

Prospective Observational Study to Characterize Patients Treated at Internal Medicine Clinics

Respiratory DiseaseCardiovascular Diseases6 more

Patients referred to internal medicine wards are becoming increasingly complex and fragile. Despite deep knowledge of their specific disorders, steps are required to improve overall management of their acute and chronic conditions. The main objective of the study is to identify demographic, clinical, laboratory and radiological markers of disease severity and activity in patients with diseases treated at general medicine wards (respiratory disease, immune-mediated disease, sepsis, metabolic disease, rare disease, frailty, pregnancy pathology) in order to improve their diagnosis, monitoring and treatment processes.

Novel Diagnostic Methods to Identify External Ventricular Drain Associated Infections

Ventricular Drain Related InfectionNosocomial Infection4 more

External ventricular drain infections are difficult to identify with current diagnostic methods. Initiation of antibiotic treatment is usually supported by indirect methods of bacterial infection, such as clinical signs or cerebrospinal fluid cell counts (CSF). As such, excessive treatment with antibiotics is common in these patients due to suspected infection while the incidence of true culture confirmed infections are less common. This study will evaluate three novel diagnostic methods for rapid direct bacterial detection in CSF, in order to assess if these can be used to guide antibiotic treatment in neurocritically ill patients, compared to CSF bacterial cultures.

Distinguishing Bacterial and Viral Infections by MeMed BV® Test to Limit Gut Colonization by MDRO...

Viral InfectionBacterial Infections2 more

The fast increase of Multidrug-resistant microorganisms (MDRO) due to the high amount of antimicrobials being poorly used may be limited by better regulating antimicrobial usage globally. The goal of this observational study is the performance of the MeMed BV® test in the MeMed Key® device at the emergency department to a) support the differential diagnosis between bacterial and viral infections of the respiratory tract and b) provide evidence of how the use of this test may limit gut colonization by MDRO.

Knee Prosthetic Joint Infection Antibiotic Elution

Prosthetic-joint InfectionArthroplasty Complications

Patients presenting with prosthetic joint infections of a total knee replacement who are treated with an antibiotic spacer will be observed prospectively for their response to treatment and antibiotic elution profiles will be measured post-operatively utilizing mass spectrometry from synovial fluid acquired as part of standard of care in the management of prosthetic joint infection. Secondary outcomes including post-operative complications, re-operation rates, and re-admission rates will also be compared.

Contribution of the Sonication of Implants to the Diagnosis of Joint Prosthesis Infection: A Retrospective...

Prosthesis Related Infection

Studies on sonication suffer from a heterogeneity which makes their analysis complex, due to the absence of a gold standard allowing positive cases to be defined unequivocally. Thus, the sensitivity of the technique has been assessed on cases defined in different ways, which makes the studies difficult to compare (number of samples taken, number of positive samples, variable duration of culture, etc.). It should nevertheless be noted that the majority of the series conclude with a higher sensitivity than that of standard samples, in particular in the event of a strain with difficult growth (Cutibacterium acnes, deficient Streptococci) or in the event of prior antibiotic therapy. In the absence of a comparative reference allowing to conclude on the intrinsic performances of sonication as a diagnostic test, it seems interesting to evaluate its contribution in current practice, in particular in the difficult cases where the standard culture does not make it possible to fulfill the criterion. major (zero or only one positive sample). To the knowledge of the investigators, there is no study of this kind, which could make it possible to specify the place of this technique in the diagnostic procedure and to improve the care of patients.

Sexually Transmitted DiseasesBacterial1 more

Primary research question: Are novel molecular tests for rapid detection of Mycoplasma and Gonorrhoea infections and antimicrobial resistance sensitive and specific in symptomatic patients attending a sexual health clinic? Secondary research question: Are novel molecular tests for detection of antimicrobial resistance in Mycoplasma and Gonorrhoea infections more accurate than standard laboratory culture techniques?
