Combination vaccine protects monkeys from ebola and Marburg viruses
An experimental, combination vaccine against Ebola and Marburg viruses using virus-like particles (VLPs) provides complete protection against infection in monkeys. view more (2008-02-27)
Substantial Increase In Survival After Introduction Of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy For HIV-1 Infection (p 1267)
Research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights the substantial increased survival for people with HIV-1 since the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in 1997. However the study also shows a shift in risk profiles compared with earlier data-people over 45 years no longer appear to have reduced survival... view more... (2003-10-15)
HIV's effect on white blood cells questioned by new research
Scientists have refuted a longstanding theory of how HIV slowly depletes the body's capacity to fight infection, in new research published today. view more (2007-05-22)
Stress signals link pre-existing sickness with susceptibility to bacterial infection
Mitochondrial diseases disrupt the power generating machinery within cells and increase a person's susceptibility to bacterial infection, particularly in the lungs or respiratory tract. view more (2009-07-28)
Mosquito immune system examined
Mosquitoes employ the same immune factors to fight off bacterial pathogens as they do to kill malaria-causing Plasmodium parasites, according to a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. view more (2006-06-09)
Chronic fatigue syndrome linked to stomach virus
Chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as ME (myalgic encephalitis), is linked to a stomach virus, suggests research published ahead of print in Journal of Clinical Pathology. view more (2007-09-14)
Beating hospital yeast infection
Increasing numbers of critically ill patients develop fungal or yeast infections, which are associated with high mortality. Now a review published in the online open access journal, Critical Care, compares treatments involving single-drug antifungal prophylaxis (SAP) or a multi-drug regimen of selective digestive tract decontamination (SDD) and... view more...

STDs disrupt genetic bottleneck that usually constrains HIV infection
Scientists have shown that HIV faces a genetic "bottleneck" when the virus is transmitted heterosexually from one person to another, by way of the genital mucosa. view more (2009-01-23)
Change in guidelines could help eliminate TB in US
To eliminate tuberculosis (TB) in the United States, current guidelines should be changed to reclassify all foreign-born residents from high-incidence countries as "high-risk," regardless of the amount of time they have lived in the U.S. view more (2007-01-03)
Guidelines needed to prevent spread of infection in European hospitals
National and European guidelines to control the spread of vancomycin resistant enterococci should be drawn up before these bacteria become endemic in European hospitals, argue researchers in this week's BMJ. Vancomycin resistant bacteria have a low virulence but can cause serious infections in transplant patients or those in intensive care units.... view more... (2002-03-13)
Is it effective of low-dose furazolidone-based quadruple regimens for H pylori infection?
H pylori infection was associated with many upper gastrointestinal diseases. The prevalence of H pylori resistant to antibiotics was increased with the spreading of H pylori eradication. view more (2009-02-23)
Hit-and-run injury to the brain
A seven-year tracking study has prompted scientists to suggest that chronic fatigue syndrome could be the result of brain injuries inflicted during the early stages of glandular fever. view more (2006-03-02)
NIAID media availability: New strategy proposed for designing antibody-based HIV vaccine
Most vaccines that protect against viruses generate infection-fighting proteins called antibodies that either block infection or help eliminate the virus before it can cause disease. view more (2009-06-15)
Urban slum conditions are a source of leptospirosis
A study conducted in an urban slum setting in Salvador, Brazil has found that open sewers, accumulations of refuse, and inadequate floodwater drainage are acting as sources for transmission of the disease leptospirosis. The study is published in this week's PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. view more (2008-04-23)
Scientists seek to unwrap the sweet mystery of the sugar coat on bacteria
Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a quick and simple way to investigate the sugar coating that surrounds bacteria and plays a role in infection and immunity. view more (2006-02-15)
Organisms found on contact lenses can provide clues to cause of corneal eye infection
Cultures of contact lenses may sometimes identify the organisms involved in cases of corneal eye infection, according to a report in the September issue of Archives of Ophthalmology. view more (2007-09-11)
New culprit for viral infections among elderly -- an overactive immune response
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have found that exaggerated responses of the immune system explain why the elderly succumb to viral infections more readily than younger people. view more (2009-11-19)
How 1 bacteria colonizes the gut and causes food poisoning
Food poisoning caused by the bacteria enterohemorrhagic Eschericia coli (EHEC) O157:H7A results in severe abdominal cramps and bloody diarrhea. view more (2007-10-19)
'POZ parties' signal potential to spread HIV 'superinfection'
The emergence of "POZ Parties"-parties exclusively for HIV positive men to meet other HIV positive men for sex-signals the potential to spread HIV "superinfection,"suggests research in Sexually Transmitted Infections. view more (2005-09-29)
APIC launches first national C. difficile prevalence study
The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) today announced a detailed strategy to combat Clostridium difficile-associated disease (CDAD). view more (2008-03-24)
