Abstract
Multiple risk factor syndrome is a clustering of cardiovascular risk factors, such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity associated epidemiologically with insulin resistance. This report describes the clinical course of a patient suffering from severe periodontitis wit...

Abstract
Approximately two-thirds of the patients with severe sepsis or septic shock are first encountered in the emergency departments (EDs) of western countries, in which bacteremia is present in about 50% of patients with severe sepsis. The situation of bacteremia presenting to the EDs in...

Abstract
We defined initially inappropriate antibiotic therapy as occurring when the patient either was not administered an antibiotic within 24 hrs of sepsis onset or was treated with an antibiotic to which the culprit pathogen was resistant in vitro. The cohort included 760 subjects (mean age 59.3 ± 16.3...

Abstract
We find no evidence for such a general recommendation. As neutropenic patients and patients with rheumatoid arthritis are generally more prone to develop periprosthetic infections it can be considered in these cases to give prophylactic antibiotics before more extensive dental treatments....

Abstract
In 538 febrile episodes in 188 children enrolled prospectively, 62% of children were neutropenic and 86% had infection-related fever. Respiratory infection was the commonest febrile cause (60%). Bacteremia occurred more often in neutropenic than non-neutropenic episodes (20% vs. 3%) and was accompan...

Abstract
We performed a single Myco/F Lytic blood culture. Fifty-eight (2.9%) had a clinically significant BSI (i.e., a blood culture positive for an organism known to be a pathogen). Mycobacterium tuberculosis accounted for 31 (54%) of all BSIs, followed by fungi (13 [22%]) and bacteria (9 [16%]). Of patien...

Abstract
We used bioluminescent strains of Staphylococcus aureus to monitor the formation of infection foci during the first 24 h of hematogenous bacterial dissemination. Clinically derived EDIN-expressing S. aureus strains S25 and Xen36 produced many disseminated foci. EDIN had no detectable impact on infec...

Abstract
We demonstrated that a surprisingly large fraction of Neisseria meningitidis disease isolates are lipid A mutants, due to inactivating mutations in the lpxL1 gene. The lpxL1 mutants activate human TLR4 much less efficiently than wild-type bacteria, which may be advantageous by allowing them to escap...
