Anti-cancer therapy and the exacerbation of pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial infection

Tomohiro Tanaka, Naohiro Yanagimura, Masashi Arita, Satoshi Shibata et autres

INTRODUCTION: Immunosuppressive cytotoxic chemotherapy for malignant tumors may activate underlying nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections. However, chemotherapy-induced NTM pulmonary disease exacerbations have not been systematically evaluated. Thus, in this novel study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of chemotherapies on patients with concomitant …

Aortoesophageal fistula caused by Mycobacterium bovis following intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy: a case report and literature review

Taro Koshiba, Mariko Hakamata, Y. Tomita, Ikumi Yamagishi et autres

BACKGROUND: Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy is an established treatment for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, involving direct instillation of a solution containing attenuated Mycobacterium bovis into the bladder. Although generally well-tolerated, rare vascular complications, including mycotic aneurysms and aortoenteric fistulas, have been reported. …

Species-specific outcomes and role of infectious disease consultation in peritoneal dialysis infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria: A 10-year retrospective analysis

Ikumi Yamagishi, Yuuki Bamba, Naoto Kanno, Masahiro Ui et autres

Background Infections can make it difficult to continue peritoneal dialysis (PD). Nontuberculous mycobacteria-associated PD (NTM-PD) infections, while rare, frequently pose a treatment challenge due to their intractable nature and the lack of established therapeutic guidelines. As a result, we aimed to investigate …

Doxycycline pre-exposure prophylaxis prevents sexually transmitted infections without affecting vaginal bacterial flora in female sex workers

Seitaro Abe, Daisuke Mizushima, Naokatsu Ando, Akira Kawashima et autres

Background: Bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea are often asymptomatic but can cause severe complications, including infertility and vertical transmission in cisgender women, particularly female sex workers (FSWs). Sex work is strongly associated with syphilis, with FSWs representing …

Bloodstream infection caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae serotype 6: Case report and literature review

Asumi Suzuki, Mariko Hakamata, Satomi Tanikawa, Naoto Kanno et autres

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a zoonotic, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming, gram-positive bacillus. Although the serotypes and phylogenetic clades of E. rhusiopathiae strains isolated from animals have been shown to be closely related, the serotype identification of clinical isolates from human patients remains limited. We …

Non-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome defining malignancies in people living with haemophilia and human immunodeficiency virus after direct-acting antiviral era

Michiko Koga, Akari Fukuda, Masanori Nojima, Aya Ishizaka et autres

Non-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-defining malignancies (NADMs) are the crucial cause of mortality in people living with haemophilia and human immunodeficiency virus (PLWHH). We aimed to analyse the types and characters of NADMs in PLWHH after approval of direct-acting antivirals (DAA), considering that most …
