Deep Learning Algorithm Outperforms Physicians Detecting Active Pulmonary TB
A deep-learning algorithm performed better than radiologists at detecting active pulmonary tuberculosis on chest radiographs.
Procalcitonin-Guided Antibiotic Treatment Lowered Antibiotic Exposure
Procalcitonin-guided antibiotic management resulted in lower antibiotic exposure while maintaining similar mortality rates in patients with bacteremia.
Pediatric Histoplasmosis Most Frequently Manifested as Pulmonary Disease
Pediatric histoplasmosis most frequently manifests as pulmonary disease, and the highest diagnostic yields were achieved when multiple diagnostic modalities were used.
Genome Sequencing Traces K pneumoniae Outbreak to Outpatient Clinic
An investigation into an outbreak of NDM-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae across 2 Belgian hospitals identified an outpatient clinic as the likely common site of transfer and highlights the importance of infection control measures in outpatient settings.
