When to consider testing for histplasmosis PDF version Overview Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection that often presents as community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in primary and urgent care settings. It is endemic in parts of the U.S. and the world. Histoplasmosis cannot be reliably distinguished from other causes of respiratory illness by signs or symptoms alone. Thus, patients are commonly misdiagnosed; in some instances, over half of patients may receive inappropriate antibacterial drugs. 1 Consider testing patients with community-acquired pneumonia who: Live in or recently traveled to an endemic area (maps below) and Have not improved with at least one course of empiric antibiotics. Visual algorithm If a patient lives in or has traveled to a histoplasmosis-endemic area and has: A flowchart to show the diagnosis of histoplasmosis A flowchart to show the diagnosis of histoplasmosis 1a...

Since revealing she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2021, Christina Applegate has been candid about her health and how's she's doing. Most recently, on the sixth episode of MeSsy, a podcast Applegate cohosts with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who also has MS, Applegate revealed she's been suffering from an illness unrelated to MS for three weeks. Bluntly, Applegate shared that she's been "pissing out of my *ss for a few days." After having just recovered from COVID which she contracted for the first time, she was sick again. "I was so dizzy. I was so sick. I couldn't eat, I couldn't anything," she said. So, her doctor ordered a stool sample, an experience she says made her even queasier, and she learned she as sapovirus. "It is when you ingest fecal matter of someone else from your food," Applegate explained. She'd somehow and unknowingly eaten "someone else's poop bacteria" which led her to wake up in a pool of...

COVID pneumonia is a complication of COVID-19 in which the air sacs of the lungs fill with fluid or pus. Though COVID-19 is mainly restricted to the upper airways in around 80% of cases, 20% involve potentially severe lower respiratory complications, including pneumonia. Symptoms of COVID pneumonia are the same as other types of pneumonia and typically involve a "wet" productive cough with mucus, fever, extreme fatigue, and difficulty breathing. Severe COVID pneumonia is associated with a high risk of death. The article describes the causes and symptoms of COVID pneumonia and how the condition is diagnosed, treated, and prevented. Calvin Chan Wai Meng / Getty Images Can COVID Cause Pneumonia? Pneumonia is a common and potentially life-threatening complication of COVID-19, a viral infection caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Pneumonia causes illness by triggering severe inflammation in the lungs,...

Tolbert says if dry food is stored in a plastic container, the container should be cleaned regularly to prevent contamination. Getty Images People may choose to eat foods past their expiration date, as long as the food looks and smells good, but that doesn't mean this practice is safe for pet food. Ensuring pet food is suitable to eat is the first step to preventing your dog or cat from becoming ill. Dr. Katie Tolbert, a clinical associate professor in small animal and comparative gastroenterology at the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, says dog and cat food with prolonged exposure to air, heat, humidity and moisture can increase the risk of spoilage. Spoilage may not be discernible upon first glance, Tolbert said, but it can be more easily determined if the food is past its shelf life. "Shelf life is dependent on the type of food and its composition," she said. "For example, canned food has a longer shelf life, while...

Abstract Increasing antimicrobial resistance in Enterococcus faecium necessitates the search for novel treatment agents, such as bacteriocins. In this study, we conducted an in vivo assessment of five bacteriocins, namely Lacticin Z, Lacticin Q, Garvicin KS (ABC), Aureocin A53 and Microbisporicin (NAI-107), against vanB-resistant Enterococcus faecium using a Galleria mellonella model. Our in vitro experiments demonstrated the efficacy of all five bacteriocins against vanB-resistant E. faecium with only NAI-107 demonstrating in vivo efficacy. Notably, NAI-107 exhibited efficacy across a range of tested doses, with the highest efficacy observed at a concentration of 16 µg/mL. Mortality rates in the group treated with 16 µg/mL NAI-107 were lower than those observed in the linezolid-treated group. These findings strongly suggest that NAI-107 holds promise as a potential alternative therapeutic agent for treating infections caused by resistant E. faecium and warrants ...
