Active clinical trials for "Skin Diseases, Infectious"

Alcohol is used to disinfect the skin prior to injections in order to prevent infections caused by bacteria on the skin being injected within tissue. At present, however, clinical trials do not demonstrate a clinical impact of using or not using alcohol swabs on infections and infection symptoms calling into question the practice of using it prior to all injections. These studies are methodologically flawed, and do not specifically examine vaccine injections. The present study is being undertaken to provide some preliminary data for the risk of infection and infection symptoms when alcohol swabs are not used to perform vaccine injections.

Background: - Staphylococcus aureus, or staph, is commonly found on the skin and in the respiratory system. Sometimes people who get sick with staph infection do not get better with standard treatment. These staph infections can be serious and even deadly. Researchers want to find out why some people are more likely to get the infection. Objectives: - To look at the immune response of the skin when it is exposed to bacteria. Eligibility: People age 2 65 with hyper IgE syndrome (HIES) and those with recurrent staph infections. Healthy volunteers. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. Over 1 5 days, participants may have blood tests and a skin and nasal swab. They may have additional tests if needed. If they had a recent biopsy, researchers may ask for a sample from it. Some participants will spend the night at the clinic. Their vital signs will be taken and they will have blood drawn. Some participants will take aspirin or ibuprofen starting 2 days before their stay. Some participants will have blisters created on the inside of their forearm. Suction will pull a layer of skin from their arm. Skin will be removed. Different solutions will be applied to the blisters. Up to 3 biopsies may be taken. Children will not have blood tests or biopsies. Participants will be called every day for 10 days, then at 30 days after the procedure. Participants will have a follow-up visit 10 days after the procedure. Participants who did not get blisters or biopsies will not have any follow-up appointments.

The aim of this study is to describe the real clinical use of Dalbavancin in Spain between January 2018 and December 2019.

This is a study to evaluate the safety of tigecycline in patients with complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) and complicated skin and soft tissue infections (cSSTI) under real practice in the usual hospital setting and patients' conditions, in order to assess the "real incidence" of adverse events related with tigecycline in these patients.

This is an open label, multi-centre, non-interventional post-marketing surveillance.

Secondary Data Collection Study; safety and effectiveness of Tigecycline .under Japanese medical practice

The purpose of the study is to determine if the overall central venous catheter related infection rate can be reduced by the application of Polysporin Triple Therapy ointment to the insertion site.

Retapamulin, a topical pleuromutilin antibiotic, is the first in a new class of topical antibiotics approved for human use. In the United States (US), retapamulin is approved for the treatment of impetigo in persons nine or more months of age and was launched on 12 April 2007. This five-year study is designed to examine use of retapamulin in the pediatric population less than nine months of age. We will conduct an annual assessment of prescription sales claims for retapamulin using the Integrated Health Care Information Services (IHCIS) National Managed Care Benchmarked Database. For each year of reporting, the observed frequencies of the exposure, with or without same-day, co-prescribed sales claim of mupirocin, will be identified. The study objectives are to determine the frequency of retapamulin sales in a representative US population stratified by the designated age group and to determine the frequency of same-day sale of the topical agent, mupirocin.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Cepheid GeneXpert system accurately detects Methicillin-Resistant and -Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus in blood cultures and wound swabs.

The purpose of this registry is to better understand (1) complicated skin and soft-tissue infections requiring hospitalization, and (2) clinical and economic outcomes in hospitalized patients receiving intravenous antibiotic therapy.
