After a welcome by Paolo Antonio Grossi, the appointed chair by the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID), Department of Medicine & Surgery, University of Insubria, Varese, Italy; Ann-Brit Eg Hansen, Department of Infectious Diseases, Copenhagen University Hospital – Amager and Hvidovre, Denmark and Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, summarised the objectives of the meeting and introduced the speakers. In their opening presentation, Tobias Welte, Department of Pulmonary and Infectious Diseases, Hannover University School of Medicine, Germany, described how the COVID-19 pandemic has evolved, in terms of variants, mortality rates, vaccinations, immunity, and antivirals. Welte then presented a hypothetical case study to illustrate how older patients with comorbidities can initially have mild symptoms, but may then deteriorate and require hospitalisation. Stephen Thomas, State University of New York Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, USA, then described the efficacy and potential side effects of the BNT162b2 (Pfizer–BioNTech, New York City, USA, and Mainz, Germany, respectively) vaccine, and the need for, and benefits of, booster doses. Thomas also described the added benefits of the newer bivalent vaccines in a world where COVID-19 is constantly mutating. Marta Boffito, HIV, Sexual and Gender Health, Dermatology, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Imperial College London, UK, then outlined various factors that increase the risk of progression to severe COVID-19 disease, including older age, immunocompromised status, and underlying health conditions (e.g., obesity, hypertension, heart disease, and chronic kidney disease [CKD]). Such patients can benefit from antiviral medications such as nirmatrelvir/ritonavir, although potential drug–drug interactions must be considered. Roger Paredes, Department of Infectious Diseases and IrsiCaixa AIDS Research Institute, Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol, Badalona, Catalonia, Spain, and Center for Global Health and Diseases, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio, USA, revisited the case study to highlight the importance of early COVID-19 diagnosis among high-risk patients to enable the use of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir, which is only approved within 5 days of symptom onset for non-hospitalised adults at increased risk of progression to severe COVID-19. Paredes went on to discuss antiviral treatments in more detail, describing a randomised controlled trial (EPIC-HR) and two large real-world studies that showed that nirmatrelvir/ritonavir could significantly reduce the risk of hospitalisation and death due to COVID-19 among high-risk patients. To conclude, Hansen highlighted the importance of regular updates to COVID-19 management guidelines, given the ongoing and evolving nature of COVID-19, as well as the importance of identifying high-risk pa
欧洲临床微生物学和传染病学会(ESCMID)任命的主席保罗·安东尼奥·格罗西(Paolo Antonio Grossi)在欢迎仪式上表示欢迎。意大利瓦雷塞因苏布里亚大学外科;丹麦哥本哈根大学医院感染性疾病科-安布里特·Eg·汉森(Ann-Brit Eg Hansen)和丹麦哥本哈根大学卫生与医学科学学院临床医学系总结了会议的目标,并介绍了发言者。德国汉诺威大学医学院肺部和传染病系的Tobias Welte在开幕演讲中介绍了COVID-19大流行在变异、死亡率、疫苗接种、免疫力和抗病毒药物方面的演变情况。Welte随后提出了一个假设的案例研究,以说明患有合并症的老年患者最初可能有轻微的症状,但随后可能恶化并需要住院治疗。美国锡拉丘兹纽约州立大学上州医科大学的Stephen Thomas随后描述了BNT162b2(分别为辉瑞- biontech公司,美国纽约市和德国美因茨)疫苗的疗效和潜在副作用,以及加强剂量的必要性和益处。托马斯还描述了在COVID-19不断变异的世界中,新型二价疫苗的额外好处。Marta Boffito, HIV,性健康和性别健康,皮肤病学,切尔西和威斯敏斯特医院NHS基金会信托基金,伦敦帝国理工学院,英国,然后概述了增加进展为严重COVID-19疾病风险的各种因素,包括年龄较大,免疫功能低下状态和潜在的健康状况(如肥胖,高血压,心脏病和慢性肾脏疾病[CKD])。这类患者可以从抗病毒药物如尼马特韦/利托那韦中获益,但必须考虑到潜在的药物-药物相互作用。西班牙加泰罗尼亚巴达洛纳市德国大学特里亚斯普约尔医院传染病科和IrsiCaixa艾滋病研究所、美国俄亥俄州克利夫兰凯斯西储大学医学院全球卫生与疾病中心的Roger Paredes重新审视了该案例研究,强调了在高危患者中进行COVID-19早期诊断的重要性,以便能够使用尼马特里韦/利托那韦。该药物仅在症状出现5天内被批准用于进展为严重COVID-19风险增加的非住院成年人。Paredes接着更详细地讨论了抗病毒治疗,描述了一项随机对照试验(EPIC-HR)和两项大型现实世界研究,这些研究表明,尼马特利韦/利托那韦可以显著降低高风险患者因COVID-19住院和死亡的风险。最后,Hansen强调了定期更新COVID-19管理指南的重要性,考虑到COVID-19的持续和不断变化的性质,以及在病程早期识别高风险患者以使用nirmatrelvir/ritonavir的重要性。

Background: Surgical site infections (SSI) remain a major cause of hospital-acquired infections, causing morbidity and mortality worldwide. In developing countries, 5.6% of surgical procedures will develop SSIs. These are further complicated by an increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant organisms. Associated risk factors also play a role in contribution of SSIs. However, the identification of factors that cause or predict these SSIs remains an important area of research. Objective: To investigate the risk factors for SSI together with the identification of the aetiological bacterial agents and their antimicrobial susceptibility. Methods and Patients: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 143 patients who underwent surgery in a single tertiary care centre. Only the surgeries falling under clean and clean-contaminated categories were included in the study. SSI was determined by positive bacterial culture, and resistant pattern was determined by Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion method. Results: Out of 25 different surgical procedures in 143 cases, four cases developed SSI due to Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Diabetes, obesity, and smoking were the associated risk factors in these cases. Conclusion: Prevention of SSI is complex and requires the integration of a range of preventive measures before, during, and after surgery.
背景:手术部位感染(SSI)仍然是医院获得性感染的主要原因,在世界范围内引起发病率和死亡率。在发展中国家,5.6%的外科手术将产生ssi。多药耐药菌的日益流行使这些问题进一步复杂化。相关的危险因素也在ssi的发生中起作用。然而,识别导致或预测这些ssi的因素仍然是一个重要的研究领域。目的:探讨感染SSI的危险因素,鉴定病原菌及其药敏情况。方法和患者:对在一家三级护理中心接受手术的143例患者进行了横断面研究。只有清洁和清洁污染类别的手术被纳入研究。采用阳性培养法测定SSI,采用Kirby-Bauer圆盘扩散法测定耐药模式。结果:在143例25种不同手术方式中,4例因大肠杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌引起SSI。糖尿病、肥胖和吸烟是这些病例的相关危险因素。结论:SSI的预防是复杂的,需要术前、术中、术后综合采取一系列预防措施。

The Significance and Burden of Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection: Interviews with Two Leading Experts 先天性巨细胞病毒感染的意义和负担:两位权威专家的访谈
Pub Date : 2023-05-25 DOI: 10.33590/emjmicrobiolinfectdis/10309116
Christine E. Jones, Megan Pesch, Brigitte Scott
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a member of the family Herpesviridae. This virus can remain dormant in the body over a long period after initial infection. Transmission of CMV occurs through direct contact with bodily fluids, such as saliva, urine, blood, semen, and breast milk, from individuals who are actively shedding the virus in these bodily fluids. CMV is extremely common and is found throughout all geographical locations and socioeconomic groups. Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection is the most common congenital infection globally and has potentially severe consequences for infants; however, there is little awareness of cCMV infection among pregnant females, families, and healthcare professionals (HCP). For this article, EMJ conducted interviews in March 2023 with two leading experts: Christine E. Jones from the University of Southampton and University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, UK; and Megan Pesch from the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA, and the National CMV Foundation, Tampa, Florida, USA, both of whom have a wealth of experience and expertise in the management of cCMV. The experts gave valuable insights into topics such as the impact of cCMV infection on infants and their families and on public health; and screening, diagnosis, and treatment of cCMV infection. The experts also explored the potential complications of cCMV, particularly sensorineural hearing loss, the importance of prevention of maternal infection, and strategies to raise awareness of cCMV infection among HCPs and the public. In addition, Pesch provided a patient advocate perspective on the consequences of cCMV infection, sharing their experience of how cCMV has impacted their child, themself, and their family.
人巨细胞病毒(CMV)是疱疹病毒科的一员。这种病毒在初次感染后可以在体内潜伏很长一段时间。巨细胞病毒的传播通过直接接触体液发生,如唾液、尿液、血液、精液和母乳,这些体液来自那些积极排出病毒的人。巨细胞病毒非常普遍,在所有地理位置和社会经济群体中都有发现。先天性巨细胞病毒(cCMV)感染是全球最常见的先天性感染,对婴儿有潜在的严重后果;然而,在孕妇、家庭和卫生保健专业人员(HCP)中,对cCMV感染的认识很少。为了撰写本文,EMJ于2023年3月采访了两位权威专家:来自英国南安普顿大学和南安普顿NHS基金会信托大学医院的Christine E. Jones;来自美国安娜堡密歇根大学C.S. Mott儿童医院和美国佛罗里达州坦帕国家巨细胞病毒基金会的Megan Pesch,他们在cCMV管理方面都有丰富的经验和专业知识。专家们就cCMV感染对婴儿及其家庭的影响以及对公共卫生的影响等主题提供了宝贵的见解;以及cCMV感染的筛查、诊断和治疗。专家们还探讨了cCMV的潜在并发症,特别是感音神经性听力损失,预防孕产妇感染的重要性,以及提高医护人员和公众对cCMV感染的认识的策略。此外,Pesch还从患者的角度阐述了cCMV感染的后果,分享了cCMV如何影响他们的孩子、他们自己和他们的家庭的经验。
