This study aimed to identify which streptococcal species are closely associated with infective endocarditis (IE) and to evaluate risk factors for mortality in patients with streptococcal IE. We perfor...
Streptococcal bloodstream infections (BSIs) are common, yet prognostic factors are poorly investigated. We aimed to investigate the mortality according to streptococcal species and seasonal variation....
Patients with streptococcal BSIs from 2008 to 2017 in the Capital Region of Denmark were investigated, and data were crosslinked with nationwide registers for the identification of comorbidities. A mu...
Among 6095 patients with a streptococcal BSI (mean age 68.1 years), the 30-day mortality was 16.1% and the one-year mortality was 31.5%. With S. pneumoniae as a reference, S. vestibularis was associat...
The mortality in patients with streptococcal BSI was associated with streptococcal species. Further, patients with streptococcal BSIs infected in the autumn and winter had a higher risk of death withi...
Group A streptococcal (GAS) infections are caused by the Gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes. Infection can occur via droplet infection from the throat and via (in)direct contact with infec...
Group A-streptococcal (GAS) infection can lead to various clinical presentations and is fulminant when it reaches the deep tissues, leading to a high morbidity and mortality. The severity of postpartu...
We report on a 34-year-old female patient and a 50-year-old male patient, both of whom were admitted to our emergency department with severe septic conditions....
Both patients were resuscitated and exhibited clinical as well as laboratory evidence of a severe bacterial infection....
Both patients had an invasive infection with Group A Streptococcus. The female patient had a Streptococcal sepsis with severe pneumonia, while the male patient had a Streptococcus-induced necrotizing ...
While the female patient unfortunately died in the emergency department`s resuscitation room despite all intensive medical treatments, the male patient survived after prompt surgical therapy and an ex...
Patients with invasive infections caused by Group A Streptococcus can deteriorate rapidly clinically. Prompt diagnosis and initiation of often interdisciplinary treatment are important. Nevertheless, ...
Secondary bacterial infection following influenza type A virus (IAV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality during influenza epidemics. Streptococcus pneumoniae has been identified as a...
In this case report we describe a 38-year old female patient admitted to the emergency department with acute abdomen and sepsis. Broad-spectrum antibiotics were started. Abdominal imaging was inconclu...
Infective endocarditis (IE) is frequently caused by streptococcal species, yet clinical features and mortality are poorly investigated. Our aim was to examine patients with streptococcal IE to describ...
From 2002 to 2012, we investigated patients with IE admitted to two tertiary Danish heart centres. Adult patients with left-sided streptococcal IE were included. Adjusted multivariable logistic regres...
Among 915 patients with IE, 284 (31%) patients with streptococcal IE were included [mean age 63.5 years (SD 14.1), 69% men]. The most frequent species were S. mitis/oralis (21%) and S. gallolyticus (1...
S. mitis/oralis and S. gallolyticus were the most frequent streptococcal species causing IE. Further, S. gallolyticus IE was associated with less heart valve surgery during admission compared with S. ...
The Psychiatric Consultation Service at Massachusetts General Hospital sees medical and surgical inpatients with comorbid psychiatric symptoms and conditions. During their twice weekly rounds, Dr Ster...
To determine maternal and neonatal risk factors for, and incidence of, neonatal early-onset group B streptococcus (EOGBS) and late-onset (LOGBS) infection in South Australia (SA) and the Northern Terr...
A case-control study with 2:1 matched controls to cases. The study included tertiary hospitals in South Australia and the Northern Territory, Australia. Retrospective data were collected from a 16-yea...
Of a total of 188 clinically suspected or confirmed cases, 139 were confirmed, of which 56.1% (n = 78) were EOGBS and 43.9% (n = 61) were LOGBS. The incidence of clinically suspected and confirmed cas...
GBS remains a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Adding previous fetal death to GBS screening guidelines would improve GBS prevention. The introduction of maternal GBS vaccination prog...
