BACKGROUND: Bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency with high mortality and neurologic sequelae. Its epidemiology is changing with vaccination and evolving pathogens. We investigated current etiologic patterns of adult community-acquired bacterial meningitis in Korea and outcome determinants. METHODS: In this 15-year (2009-2023) retrospective study of 17 hospitals, 247 cases were analyzed for causative organisms, and 224 for 30-day outcomes. Risk factors for mortality and neurologic sequelae were determined. RESULTS: Streptococcus pneumoniae declined from 36.4% in 2009-2013 to 19.4% in 2019-2023 (P = 0.060). Meanwhile, Klebsiella pneumoniae increased significantly (6.8% to 29.2%; P = 0.001), becoming the most common cause. K. pneumoniae meningitis showed a tendency toward higher attributable mortality (35.7%) at 30 days compared to S. pneumoniae (19.7%). Independent predictors of 30-day mortality were older age, seizure at presentation, and septic shock, whereas hypertension was associated with a lower mortality risk. Neurologic sequelae occurred in 29% and were associated with pre-existing cerebrovascular disease, headache, and stuporous consciousness. CONCLUSIONS: Over 15 years in Korea, the declining incidence of S. pneumoniae meningitis coincided with widespread pneumococcal vaccination, while K. pneumoniae has become the leading cause. Given its association with poor outcomes, K. pneumoniae meningitis requires increased awareness.

Plos One, 2023
Background Infectious disease (ID) clinicians can provide essential services for febrile patients in tertiary hospitals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of ID consultations (IDC) in managing hospitalized patients with infections in an oriental medical hospital (OMH), which serves as a long-term care facility. To our knowledge, this is the first study on the role of IDCs in managing patients in an OMH. Methods This retrospective study was conducted in an OMH in Seoul, Korea, from June 2006 to June 2013. Results Among the 465 cases of hospital-acquired fever, 141 (30.3%) were referred for ID. The most common cause of fever was infection in both groups. The peak body temperature of the patient was higher in IDC group (38.8±0.6°C vs. 38.6±0.5°C, p<0.001). Crude mortality at 30 days (14.6% vs. 7.8%, p = 0.043) and infection-attributable mortality (15.3% vs. 6.7%, p = 0.039) were higher in the No-IDC group. Multivariable analysis showed that infection as the focus of fever (adjusted Odd ratio [aOR] 3.49, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.64–7.44), underlying cancer (aOR 10.32, 95% CI 4.34–24.51,), and multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (aOR 15.68, 95% CI 2.06–119.08) were associated with increased 30-day mortality. Multivariate analysis showed that in patients with infectious fever, appropriate antibiotic therapy (aOR 0.19, 95% CI 0.05–0.76) was the only factor associated with decreased infection-attributable mortality while underlying cancer (aOR 7.80, 95% CI 2.555–23.807) and severe sepsis or septic shock at the onset of fever (aOR 10.15, 95% CI 1.00–102.85) were associated with increased infection-attributable mortality. Conclusion Infection was the most common cause of fever in patients hospitalized for OMH. Infection as the focus of fever, underlying cancer, and MODS was associated with increased 30-day mortality in patients with nosocomial fever. Appropriate antibiotic therapy was associated with decreased infection-attributable mortality in patients with infectious fever.

Medicina Lithuania, 2023
Gemella bergeri, a member of the genus Gemella, is a facultatively anaerobic, Gram-positive cocci. G. bergeri is a component of normal oral flora; however, it can become pathogenic and cause infections in patients with poor oral hygiene. A 78-year-old man was admitted to a hospital with a complaint of increasing posterior neck pain and lower back pain for 2 weeks. MRI was suggestive of infectious spondylitis at the C3-C4 level with prevertebral abscess formation, anterior epidural abscess formation. We identified Gemella bergeri in closed pus obtained during the surgery. Herein, we describe the first case of infective spondylitis caused by G. bergeri.

Case report of infectious spondylitis caused by kytococcus sedentarius
Kyoung Ree Lim, Jun Seong Son, Soo-youn Moon
Medicina Lithuania, 2021
Background: Kytococcus species has not been considered a pathogen, but infections caused by this species are increasing. There are several cases of infections caused by Kytococcus sedentarius, but no case of infectious spondylitis has been reported yet. Case presentation: A 79-year-old female patient was hospitalized because of back pain for several months. She was diagnosed with infectious spondylitis, and K. sedentarius was cultured from the pus and specimen obtained during the surgical procedure. The patient recovered completely without recurrence after 6 months of treatment with ciprofloxacin alone for 8 weeks. Conclusion: This is the first case report of infectious spondylitis caused by K. sedentarius.
Understanding viral infection mechanisms and patient symptoms for the development of covid-19 therapeutics

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has become a worldwide pandemic. Symptoms range from mild fever to cough, fatigue, severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and organ failure, with a mortality rate of 2.2%. However, there are no licensed drugs or definitive treatment strategies for patients with severe COVID-19. Only antiviral or anti-inflammatory drugs are used as symptomatic treatments based on clinician experience. Basic medical researchers are also trying to develop COVID-19 therapeutics. However, there is limited systematic information about the pathogenesis of COVID-19 symptoms that cause tissue damage or death and the mechanisms by which the virus infects and replicates in cells. Here, we introduce recent knowledge of time course changes in viral titers, delayed virus clearance, and persistent systemic inflammation in patients with severe COVID-19. Based on the concept of drug reposition, we review which antiviral or anti-inflammatory drugs can effectively treat COVID-19 patients based on progressive symptoms and the mechanisms inhibiting virus infection and replication.

Objectives The widespread administration of carbapenems to patients with ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae bacteraemia (ESBL-B) has accelerated the emergence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. This study aimed to systematically review recently published data to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of carbapenems, compared with other antibiotics, in the treatment of ESBL-B. Methods We searched the Ovid-Medline, Ovid-Embase, Cochrane Library and five Korean local databases until January 2016. We selected studies that reported overall mortality in patients with ESBL-B who had been treated with carbapenems and alternatives. Overall mortality was assessed as the primary outcome and sepsis-related mortality and adverse events were analysed as secondary outcomes. Results Thirty-five publications fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Regarding empirical therapy, there were no significant differences between the groups that received carbapenems and those that received non-carbapenems in relation to overall mortality. Regarding definitive therapy, overall mortality was lower for patients administered carbapenems compared with those administered non-carbapenems [risk ratio (RR) 0.78, 95% CI 0.61-0.98], non-β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations (non-BL/BLI) (RR 0.71, 95% CI 0.56-0.90) and cephalosporins (RR 0.56, 95% CI 0.42-0.74). There were no differences between the carbapenems and the other antibiotics, namely BL/BLIs, quinolones and aminoglycosides. Conclusions This meta-analysis showed that BL/BLIs may be promising alternative antibiotics for definitive therapy in patients with ESBL-B. However, the lack of robust data derived from randomized controlled trials limits the conclusions and inferences from the pooled data.
Hospital-acquired fever in oriental medical hospitals
Soo-youn Moon, Ki-Ho Park, Mi Suk Lee, Jun Seong Son
BMC Health Services Research, 2018
Traditional Oriental medicine is used in many Asian countries and involves herbal medicines, acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping. We investigated the incidence and causes of hospital-acquired fever (HAF) and the characteristics of febrile inpatients in Oriental medical hospitals (OMHs). Patients hospitalized in two OMHs of a university medical institute in Seoul, Korea, were retrospectively reviewed from 2006 to 2013. Adult patients with HAF were enrolled. There were 560 cases of HAF (5.0%). Infection, non-infection, and unknown cause were noted in 331 cases (59.1%), 109 cases (19.5%), and 120 cases (21.4%) of HAF, respectively. Respiratory tract infection was the most common cause (51.2%) of infectious fever, followed by urinary tract infection. Drug fever due to herbal medicine was the most common cause of non-infectious fever (53.1%), followed by procedure-related fever caused by oriental medical procedures. The infection group had higher white blood cell count (WBC) (10,400/mm3 vs. 7000/mm3, p < 0.001) and more frequent history of antibiotic therapy (29.6% vs. 15.1%, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that older age (odds ratio (OR) 1.67, 95% confidence interval (C.I.) 1.08–2.56, p = 0.020), history of antibiotic therapy (OR 3.17, C.I. 1.85–5.41, p < 0.001), and WBC > 10,000/mm3 (OR 2.22, C.I. 1.85–3.32, p < 0.001) were associated with infection. Compared to previous studies on HAF in Western medicine, the incidence of HAF in OMHs was not high. However, Oriental medical treatment does play some role in HAF. Fever in patients with history of antibiotic therapy, or high WBC was more likely of infectious origin.
