Efforts to recognize and minimize the risk to study participants will be necessary to safely and ethically resume scientific research in the context of the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. These efforts are uniquely challenging in the context of HIV-cure clinical trials, which often involve complex experimental therapy regimens and perhaps analytic tre...

Our Australian hospital tested almost 22,000 symptomatic people over 11 weeks for SARS-CoV-2 in a multiplex PCR assay. Following travel bans and physical distancing, SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses diagnoses fell dramatically. Increasing rhinovirus diagnoses as social control measures were relaxed may indirectly indicate an elevated risk o...

Increased body mass index (BMI) has been associated with higher risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections. However, whether obesity is a risk factor for contracting COVID-19 has been hardly investigated so far. We examined the association between BMI level and the risk of COVID-19 infection in a nationwide case-control study com...

Transfusion-related sepsis remains an important hospital infection control challenge. Investigation of septic transfusion events is often restricted by the limitations of bacterial culture in terms of time requirements and low yield in the setting of prior antibiotic administration. In 3 gram-negative septic transfusion cases, we performed metageno...

Increasing numbers of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections among men who have sex with men (MSM) are being observed in the Western world. The actual routes of HCV transmission during high-risk sex practices and associated drug use remain poorly understood. Forty-seven patients with HCV were prospectively enrolled. Rectal and nasal swabs were collecte...

Among persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (PHIV), incident heart failure (HF) rates are increased and outcomes are worse; however, the role of amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations among PHIV with HF has not been characterized. Patients were derived from a registry of those hospitalized with HF at an ...

Two MDR Salmonella Typhi isolates from India were found by whole genome sequencing to be closely related to the 2016 XDR S. Typhi outbreak strain from Pakistan. The Indian isolates have no chromosomal antimicrobial resistance cassette but carry the IncY plasmid p60006. Both isolates are susceptible to chloramphenicol, azithromycin, and carbapenems....

Despite increasing awareness of harms, fluoroquinolones are still frequently prescribed to inpatients and at hospital discharge. Our goal was to describe fluoroquinolone prescribing at hospital discharge across the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and to contrast the volume and appropriateness of fluoroquinolone prescribing across 3 antimicrobi...
