Multivitamins don't prevent infections in older people
Multivitamin and mineral supplements don't appear to prevent infections in older people living at home, finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2005-08-05)
Cancer-causing virus associated with higher risk of new HIV infection
Infection with anal human papillomavirus (HPV), a virus that can cause anal and cervical cancers, is associated with a higher risk of new HIV infection in previously HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM), according to new UCSF research. view more (2009-05-01)
Are HIV Infection And Personality Linked?
Currently, HIV is one of the most widely spread epidemics in the world. The specificity of the mode of transmission, the well-known severity of the prognosis, and the kind of therapies used are peculiarities of this illness. Personality traits of individuals with HIV may influence conditions for the infection itself. On the other hand, it is... view more... (2004-11-18)
Whooping cough 'endemic' among UK school children
Nearly 40% of school age children in the United Kingdom who visit their family doctor with a persistent cough have evidence of whooping cough infection, even though they have been fully immunised. view more (2006-07-07)
Protein opens hope of treatment for cystic fibrosis patients
Scientists have finally identified a direct role for the missing protein that leaves cystic fibrosis patients open to attack from lung-damaging bacteria, the main reason most of them die before their 35th birthday, scientists heard today (Thursday 11 September 2008) at the Society for General Microbiology's Autumn meeting being held this week at... view more...

Hospital infection control strategies for antibiotic-resistant organisms
Hand-washing, a clean environment, appropriate infection barriers and early identification of patients at high risk of colonization with a transmissible microorganism remain the essential measures to prevent and control infection. view more (2009-03-16)
'Nurse cells' make life and death decisions for infection-fighting cells
"Nurse cells" play an important role in deciding which developing infection-fighting cells, called T cells, live and which die, according to research funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and reported in the June issue of the journal Experimental Biology and Medicine. view more (2007-05-31)
Mayo Clinic researchers discover new diagnostic test for detecting infection in prosthetic joints
A team of Mayo Clinic researchers has discovered a new, more accurate diagnostic test to detect infection of prosthetic joints, potentially leading to better treatment options and patient outcomes. view more (2007-08-16)
Pediatric HIV: Oral lesions are commonly associated with the disease
Across the globe, the presence of HIV is wide-spread. At the end of 2004, the United Nations HIV/AIDS program estimated that 2.5 million children under the age of 15 were affected worldwide. view more (2006-10-09)
Neutrophils in rheumatoid arthritis: How to lessen inflammation but still fight infection
Neutrophils, which quickly congregate at the sites of infection and inflammation, are capable of ingesting microorganisms or other particles. view more (2006-06-16)
Tuberculosis risks for health workers in developing countries
Latent infection with tuberculosis is common and some infected people develop the active form of the disease. Health-care workers (HCWs) can become infected, develop active disease, and c an pass their infection on to patients and others. view more (2006-12-26)
New technology opens gateway to studying HIV-specific neutralizing antibodies
Many scientists believe a vaccine that prevents HIV infection will need to stimulate the body to make neutralizing antibodies, infection-fighting proteins that prevent HIV from entering immune cells. view more (2009-03-16)
Should dentists worry about vCJD transmission?
Existing guidelines on treating patients with diseases such as Creutzfelt-Jakob disease (CJD) do not cover dental health in any detail. Writing in the April Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Professor Stephen Porter of the Eastman Dental Institute at the University of London suggests "important modifications" to the current infection... view more...

New proteomic method to detect inflammation in amniotic fluid
A score that measures the proteomic profile of amniotic fluid may predict inflammation before delivery. Researchers from Yale University, led by Catalin Buhimschi, have previously identified a set of four protein markers that were closely associated with inflammation in the amniotic fluid. view more (2007-01-16)
Lab-on-a-chip could speed up treatment of drug-resistant pneumonia
The emergency treatment of drug-resistant infections with targeted antibiotics is often delayed by the need to identify bacterial strains by growing them in culture first. view more (2006-11-15)
Genetic risk factor for common childhood respiratory infection identified
The severity of the common childhood infection, bronchiolitis, may be genetically determined, shows research in Thorax. Bronchiolitis is a respiratory infection which affects nearly all children by their second year. Occurring in winter epidemics, in most cases it is caused by respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV. Its primary symptom is... view more... (2000-11-16)
Mild hepatitis C infection will rapidly worsen in one in three people affected
Mild hepatitis C infection will rapidly worsen in one in three of those affected, suggests research in Gut. This is particularly likely in those who are older when first infected, and those who already have a degree of inflammation and scar tissue (fibrosis) in their liver at diagnosis. The viral liver infection hepatitis C (HCV) is mainly passed... view more... (2004-02-11)
U of MN research shows how infection-fighting cells interact
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have identified key insights into how different types of infection-fighting T-cells survive and co-exist within the body's immune system. view more (2006-03-06)
How HIV vaccine might have increased odds of infection
In September 2007, a phase II HIV-1 vaccine trial was abruptly halted when researchers found that the vaccine may have promoted, rather than prevented, HIV infection. view more (2008-11-03)
Wound infections cheaper than we thought
The cost of infections post surgery and that first appear after a patient's discharge from hospital is 50 times less than previously estimated. view more (2006-08-25)
