Guidelines emphasize rapid antibiotic treatment for sepsis, but infection presence is often uncertain at initial presentation. We investigated the incidence and drivers of false-positive presumptive infection diagnosis among emergency department (ED) patients meeting Sepsis-3 criteria.

Pre-existing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), cognitive impairment, and the high prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) complicate the diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) in older women. The presence of pyuria remains the cornerstone of UTI diagnosis.

Outpatient monoclonal antibodies are no longer effective and antiviral treatments for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease remain largely unavailable in many countries worldwide. Although treatment with COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) is promising, clinical trials among outpatients have shown mixed results.

Three months of weekly rifapentine plus isoniazid (3HP) therapy for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is recommended worldwide. The development of symptoms and systemic drug reactions (SDRs) on 3HP have not been fully characterized. We aimed to determine the patterns of symptom development and identify SDRs and associated factors in patients taking 3HP.

In 2011, policymakers in British Columbia introduced a fee-for-service payment to incentivize infectious diseases physicians to supervise outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT). Whether this policy increased use of OPAT remains uncertain.

Lung transplantation can provide quality of life and survival benefits for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)–associated end-stage lung disease. Characteristics and outcomes of these lung transplant recipients are limited to mostly single-center experiences or provide a short-term follow-up.

Innovative approaches such as online, at-home programs may address important barriers to sexually transmitted infection (STI) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening in the United States. This study evaluated the first year of an online, at-home program offering HIV and triple-site (urogenital, rectal, and pharyngeal) gonorrhea (GC) and chlamydia (CT) testing in Colorado.

Racial inequities exist in retention in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) care and multilevel analyses are needed to contextualize and address these differences. Leveraging data from a multisite clinical cohort of people with HIV (PWH), we assessed the relationships between patient race and residential characteristics with missed HIV care visits.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) events have been reported among patients with certain viral and bacterial infections. Whether invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) increases the risk of AMI remains unclear. We examined whether laboratory-confirmed IPD was associated with the risk of AMI.

Cryptosporidium spp. are responsible for significant diarrheal morbidity and mortality in under-5 children. There is no vaccine; thus, a focus on prevention is paramount. Prior studies suggest that person-to-person spread may be an important pathway for transmission to young children.

Coccidioidomycosis is a fungal infection with a range of clinical manifestations. Currently used antifungal agents exhibit variable efficacy and toxicity profiles that necessitate evaluation of additional therapeutic options. Improvement was observed in the majority of patients treated with isavuconazole, with clinical failures observed only in those with coccidioidal meningitis.

We report sustained remission of chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in a 27-year-old female patient treated with third-party EBV-specific T cells followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The viremia cleared after administration of anti-T-lymphocyte globulin for graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis. Subsequent expansion of EBV-infected host T cells was controlled by transfusion of donor-derived EBV-specific T cells.
