We highlight important knowledge gaps regarding clinical management and discuss potential strategies for prevention.RECENT FINDINGSRates of invasive GAS (iGAS) disease were increasing globally prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since mid-2022, following the worst years of the pandemic in 2020 and 2021, many countries with systems to monitor GAS syndromes have reported surges in cases of iGAS concurrent with increased scarlet fever, pharyngitis, and viral co-infections. The emergence of the hypervirulent M1UK strain as a cause of iGAS, particularly in high income countries, is concerning. New data are emerging on the transmission dynamics of GAS. GAS remains universally susceptible to penicillin but there are increasing reports of macrolide and lincosamide resistance, particularly in invasive isolates, with uncertain clinical consequences. Intravenous immunoglobulin is used widely for streptococcal toxic shock syndrome and necrotizing soft tissue infections, although there is limited clinical evidence, and none from a completed randomized controlled trial. Intensive and expensive efforts at population-level control of GAS infections and postinfectious autoimmune complications have been only partially successful. The great hope for control of GAS diseases remains vaccine development. However, all modern vaccine candidates remain in the early development stage.SUMMARYIn many countries, iGAS rates surged from mid-2022 in the aftermath of pandemic control measures and physical distancing. The emergence of a dominant hypervirulent strain is an important but incomplete explanation for this phenomenon. Clinical management of iGAS remains highly empirical and new data has not emerged. A vaccine remains the most likely means of achieving a sustainable reduction in the burden of iGAS.","PeriodicalId":10880,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142211886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we describe the course of those outbreaks, their diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and lessons learned.RECENT FINDINGSTwo outbreaks of Fusarium solani meningitis during 2022-2023 were associated with epidural anesthesia in two distant cities in Mexico (Durango and Matamoros). The initial etiological agent identification was delayed due to insensitivity of cultures. A Fusarium solani qPCR was validated and positive in 38% cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from Durango, while BD-Glucan allowed early diagnosis of the index case in Matamoros. Antifungal treatment with voriconazole and liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB) was recommended. Overall mortality was 51%. Once the cause was confirmed, some patients received fosmanogepix.SUMMARYFungal meningitis outbreaks due to filamentous fungi are usually associated with direct epidural inoculation. They result in severe presentations and high mortality. Early diagnosis should be suspected, BD-Glucan CSF testing screening is recommended. Aggressive antifungal treatment based on antifungal susceptibility testing should be administered as early as possible.

Mold-active antifungal prophylaxis should be prescribed to all patients with chronic granulomatous disease, and in patients with STAT3 deficiency and underlying parenchymal lung disease. Invasive fungal infections are rare in patients with STAT1 gain-of-function mutations, while the clinical phenotype of caspase-associated recruitment domain-containing protein 9 deficiency encompasses a wide range of superficial and invasive fungal infections.

This phenomenon has expanded during the antibiotic era and in the presence of immunodeficiency.Before the discovery of sulphonamides and penicillin G, infections caused by GNB were rare compared to Gram-positive infections. The advent of anticancer therapy, the expansion of surgical procedures, the use of corticosteroids, and the implantation of prosthetic materials, along with better control of Gram-positive infections, have promoted the current increase in GNB infections.GNB have similar antimicrobial targets to Gram-positive bacteria. However, only antibiotics that can penetrate the double membrane of GNB and remain in them for a sufficient duration have antibacterial activity against them.RECENT FINDINGSSulphonamides and early penicillins had limited activity against GNB. Ampicillin and subsequent beta-lactams expanded their spectrum to treat GNB. Aminoglycosides may re-surge with less toxic drugs, as highly resistant to beta-lactams GNB rise. Polymyxins, tetracyclines, and fluoroquinolones are also used for GNB. Combinations with other agents may be needed in specific cases, such as in the central nervous system and prostate, where beta-lactams may have difficulty reaching the infection site.Alternatives to current treatments must be sought in the discovery of new drug families and therapies such as phage therapy combined with antibiotics.SUMMARYNarrower-spectrum immunosuppressive therapies and antibiotics, antimicrobials that minimally intervene with the human microbiota, and instant diagnostic methods are necessary to imagine a future where currently dominant bacteria in infectious pathology lose their preeminence.","PeriodicalId":10880,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142211856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There have been concerns that NSAIDs could increase susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection or aggravate COVID-19. However, recent articles reviewing experimental research, observational clinical studies, randomized clinical trials, and meta-analyses conclude that there is no basis to limit the use of NSAIDs, which may instead represent effective self-care measures to control symptoms.Summary: The inflammatory response plays a pivotal role in the early phase of acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs); a correct diagnosis of the cause and a prompt therapeutic approach with NSAIDs may have the potential to control the pathophysiological mechanisms that can complicate the condition, while reducing symptoms to the benefit of the patient. A timely treatment with NSAIDs may limit the inappropriate use of other categories of drugs, such as antibiotics, which are useless when viral cause is confirmed and whose inappropriate use is responsible for the development of resistance.","PeriodicalId":10880,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11213495/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141080775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We review the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of human herpesvirus (HHV)-6, HHV-8 and parvovirus B19 following HCT.Recent findings: Advances in HCT practices significantly improved outcomes but impact viral epidemiology: post-transplant cyclophosphamide for graft-versus-host disease prevention increases HHV-6 reactivation risk while the impact of letermovir for CMV prophylaxis - and resulting decrease in broad-spectrum antivirals - is more complex. Beyond the well established HHV-6 encephalitis, recent evidence implicates HHV-6 in pneumonitis. Novel less toxic therapeutic approaches (brincidofovir, virus-specific T-cells) may enable preventive strategies in the future. HHV-8 is the causal agent of Kaposi's sarcoma, which is only sporadically reported after HCT, but other manifestations are possible and not well elucidated. Parvovirus B19 can cause severe disease post-HCT, frequently manifesting with anemia, but can also be easily overlooked due to lack of routine screening and ambiguity of manifestations.Summary: Studies should establish the contemporary epidemiology of HHV-6, and other more insidious viruses, such as HHV-8 and parvovirus B19 following HCT and should encompass novel cellular therapies.

Effective infection prevention strategies are essential to prevent the spread of HAIs. These can be broadly classified as vertical and horizontal interventions. Through this review, we aim to assess the merits of these strategies.Recent findings: Vertical strategies include active surveillance testing and isolation for patients infected or colonized with a particular organism. These strategies are beneficial to curb the spread of emerging pathogens and during outbreaks. However, the routine use of contact precautions for organisms such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus remains controversial. Horizontal interventions are larger-scale and reduce HAIs by targeting a common mode of transmission shared by multiple organisms. Among these, hand hygiene, chlorhexidine gluconate bathing of select patients and environmental decontamination are the most high-yield and must be incorporated into infection prevention programs. As antimicrobial stewardship is also an effective horizontal strategy, antimicrobial stewardship programs must operate in synergy with infection prevention programs for maximal impact.Summary: Overall, horizontal interventions are considered more cost-effective and have a broader impact. Infection control programs may opt for a combination of vertical and horizontal strategies based on local epidemiology and available resources.","PeriodicalId":10880,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141184142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
