Prevalence of mycoplasma pneumoniae and macrolide resistance in children with community-acquired pneumonia: a case study in a teaching hospital
Background: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the causes of upper and lower respiratory tract infections especially in children, and antibiotics affecting the cell wall do not affect this type of infection. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and macrolide resistance in children with community-acquired pneumonia in Kerman city. Methods: This cross-sectional study...
متن کاملCharacterization and molecular analysis of macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae clinical isolates obtained in Japan.
In recent years, Mycoplasma pneumoniae strains that are clinically resistant to macrolide antibiotics have occasionally been encountered in Japan. Of 76 strains of M. pneumoniae isolated in three different areas in Japan during 2000 to 2003, 13 strains were erythromycin (ERY) resistant. Of these 13 strains, 12 were highly ERY resistant (MIC, > or =256 microg/ml) and 1 was weakly resistant (MIC,...
متن کاملSerial Myocardial Imaging after a Single Dose of Thallium-201
Although thallium-201 exercise scintigraphy has been established for the detection of myocardial ischemia and viability, little is known regarding the myocardial thallium-201 kinetics during angioplasty. Herein, we report a 77-year old man with angina pectoris, in whom serial myocardial imaging after a single dose of thallium-201 was helpful in identifying not only the culprit lesion and myocar...
متن کاملTwo unexpected phenomena in macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in Japan and the unique biological characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae
To the editor: In a recent issue of the Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy, Miyashita et al. [1] reported on two adult patients with pneumonia caused by macrolide-resistant (mr) Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Concerning this, two rather unexpected phenomena have been observed in Japan, considering the prevalence of approximately 40% of mr M. pneumoniae in pediatric patients in this country. One phen...
متن کاملElevated Vancomycin Trough Concentration: Increased Efficacy and/or Toxicity?
Vancomycin susceptibility of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has been changed over time and its average minimum inhibitory concentration increased from 1.5 to 1.75 mg/L. A recently published guideline by the American Society of Health Pharmacist recommended a daily dose of 15-20 mg/kg every 8 to 12 hours of vancomycin to achieve a trough concentration between 15-20 mg/L for treatmen...
