Since 1988, institutions have been offering antiretroviral postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) for occupational exposures to HIV (1,2). Although much has been accomplished since 1990, many important questions remain: What are the initiating events in the pathogenesis of occupational HIV infection associated with a percutaneous exposure? What evidence supports the effectiveness of PEP in preventing o...
Progressive elimination of rabies in wildlife has been a general strategy in Canada and the United States; common campaign tactics are trap-vaccinate-release (TVR), point infection control (PIC), and oral rabies vaccination (ORV). TVR and PIC are labor intensive and the most expensive tactics per unit area (approximately $616/km(2) [in 2008 Can$, converted from the reported $450/km(2) in 1991 C...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Remarkable advances in the use of antiretroviral medication in the prevention of HIV acquisition are receiving well deserved widespread attention. The behavioral and social-cultural factors that contextualize use of study product or preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) are comparatively poorly understood. Given that PrEP is a bio-behavioral intervention, optimizing the potential imp...
develops and do not rise again until late in the course of HIV infection. There are few cases when HIV antibodies are not detectable viz., people who have a severely impaired immune system may take longer to develop HIV antibodies and those who have taken post‐exposure prophylaxis (PEP). If PEP does not successfully prevent HIV infection, the presence of the PEP drugs may still reduce HIV repli...
The 2014 World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) developed recommendations for PEP irrespective of exposure source in recognition of the need to simplify eligibility assessment and prescribing practices. Traditionally, separate PEP guidelines have been developed according to exposure type, with difference guidelines for occupational exposure, nonoccupationa...
OBJECTIVE Use of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV raises concerns about sexually transmitted infection (STI) incidence because of decreased condom use among MSM. This study examines whether PrEP is associated with STIs in the 12 months following PrEP prescription relative to the 12 months prior to PrEP and if STI rates are higher among PrEP users relative to individuals receiving postexpo...
BACKGROUND Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP) prophylaxis is recommended for patients with CD4 counts of less than 200 cells/mm3. This study examines the proportion of patients in the TREAT Asia HIV Observational Database (TAHOD) receiving PCP prophylaxis, and its effect on PCP and mortality. METHODS TAHOD patients with prospective follow up had data extracted for prophylaxis using co-trim...
As a major proportion of antibacterials used in hospital practice are for surgical prophylaxis, an audit of practice in relation to antibacterial prophylaxis in general surgery was undertaken over a four week period in a teaching hospital to assess the extent to which principles governing surgical antibacterial prophylaxis were practised and to provide a feedback to the clinicians. The extent o...
Fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics have been shown to reduce mortality and the number of febrile episodes when used as prophylaxis during neutropenia. Prior studies suggest that prophylaxis may result in increasing rates of FQ resistance. Fluoroquinolone non-susceptibility trends in Escherichia coli isolated from blood and urine cultures were evaluated over a 16-year period during which prophylax...
BACKGROUND Antibiotic prophylaxis is the most suitable tool for preventing surgical site infection. This study assessed compliance with antibiotic prophylaxis in surgery for acute appendicitis, and the effect of this compliance on surgical site infection. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective cohort study to evaluate compliance with antibiotic prophylaxis protocol in appendectomies. An assessment ...
