Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) joint involvement is rare. However, the incidence of NTM disease is increasing and it is difficult to distinguish NTM from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Here, the clinical characteristics of NTM joint involvement were compared with those of MTB. Distal joint involvement and precipitating factors were significantly more frequent for NTM joint...
Objective This study was conducted to identify risk factors for mortality and to evaluate the impact of antimicrobial resistance on outcome in adult patients with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). Methods A post hoc analysis of an observational cohort study on community-acquired pneumococcal infections was conducted and a total of 136 adult patients with IPD were analyzed in this study. Results...
Purpose T-SPOT.TB, a recently developed T cell-based assay, has shown promise in diagnosing extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB). However, a limited number of reports have compared the risk factors for false-negative results of tuberculin skin tests (TSTs) and T-SPOT.TB assays in patients with EPTB. We, thus, conducted a prospective, blinded, observational study to evaluate the risk factors for false-negative...
Purpose Persistent Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) has been observed in patients with eradicated foci, but there are few studies of the risk factors and clinical outcomes of persistent bacteremia. This study determined the risk factors for persistent methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) bacteremia in patients without retained eradicable foci, including genotypic characteristics. Methods...
