Treatment of skin and soft-tissue infections.

Bacterial infections of the skin range from mild pyodermas to life-threatening necrotizing infections. Pyodermas are most often due to Staphylococcus aureus or beta-hemolytic Streptococcus sp, whereas infections associated with skin ulcers of the…

Infectious complications in diabetic patients.

Community-acquired pneumonia. What's needed for accurate diagnosis.

Characteristic clinical findings of fever, cough, and rhonchi, together with a new infiltrate on chest films and documentation of a pathogen, establish a diagnosis of infectious pneumonia. Several factors have had an impact on the approach to…

Treatment of bacteriuria in pregnancy.

The presence of bacteriuria during gestation increases the chance of acute pyelonephritis. Treatment of bacteriuria in pregnancy reduces subsequent development of symptomatic disease. Numerous studies have shown that single-dose therapy for…

Pharmacokinetics of imipenem in serum and skin window fluid in healthy adults after intramuscular or intravenous administration.

The pharmacokinetic profiles of imipenem after intramuscular (i.m.) and intravenous injections were examined in adult volunteers. Levels of imipenem in serum after i.m. injection of a microcrystalline suspension of imipenem-cilastatin (500 mg each)…

Incidence, etiologic pathogens, and diagnostic testing of community-acquired pneumonia.

Determination of the etiologic pathogens of community-acquired pneumonia has been problematic because of the lack of reliable rapid laboratory diagnostic tools as well as the controversy concerning diagnostic criteria. In the studies reviewed here, a…

The other causes of 'atypical' pneumonia.

Mycoplasma, Chlamydia and Legionella are the usual organisms considered to be the etiologic agents of 'atypical' pneumonia. Other microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and mycobacteria can also present with atypical pneumonia…

Can aggressive treatment of diabetic foot infections reduce the need for above-ankle amputation?

We retrospectively evaluated the charts of 112 patients with diabetic foot infection to determine if early aggressive surgical intervention improves outcome. All patients were classified into two groups on the basis of the timing of surgical…

Chlamydia pneumoniae pneumonia.

Chlamydia pneumoniae is a common cause of community-acquired pneumonia. At present there is no "gold” standard for diagnosis and there is no easily accessible means of rapid diagnosis available. The best indication of acute C. pneumoniae infection is…

Diagnosis and treatment of diabetic foot infections.

Prompt clinical diagnosis and timely treatment are the hallmarks of the proper care of diabetic patients with foot infections. The importance of careful clinical foot examination cannot be overemphasized. When infection is suspected, effort should be…

The role of atypical pathogens: Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and Legionella pneumophila in respiratory infection.

Infections caused by M. pneumoniae, C. pneumoniae, and Legionella spp. are important causes of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). In the past decade, considerable new information has come to light concerning these organisms. Despite this, debate…

Antipseudomonal penicillins.

Antipseudomonal penicillins retain most of the antibacterial activity of penicillin and aminopenicillins. This group of penicillins has added activities against many gram-negative rods, including P. aeruginosa. Similar to the earlier penicillins,…

Group A streptococcus necrotizing fasciitis.

Necrotizing fasciitis due to Group A streptococcus has been observed with increasing frequency over the past decade. Appropriate management requires rapid recognition of this life-threatening infection and expeditious antimicrobial therapy as well as…

Human zoonotic infections transmitted by dogs and cats.

Dogs and cats are the 2 most common household pets. However, they may be a direct or indirect source of human infections. This article aims to familiarize physicians with some common and uncommon bacterial, rickettsial, parasitic, and fungal zoonotic…
