Korat‐Scrub Typhus Score: A Clinical Tool for Predicting Scrub Typhus in Patients With Acute Undifferentiated Febrile Illness

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Scrub typhus is a major cause of acute undifferentiated febrile illness (AUFI) in the Asia–Pacific region. Nonspecific presentation, limited diagnostic accuracy and delayed treatment increase morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to develop a simple clinical score for early diagnosis in adults with AUFI. Methods A cross‐sectional

Thalassemia major may decrease the frequency of febrile convulsions in children

, 2014
Aim: We aimed to determine the relative frequency of febrile convulsion in children with major thalassemia to theorize that higher serum iron levels could reduce the incidence of febrile convulsion.

Age‐Related and Seasonal Variation in Malaria and Other Causes of Fever and Their Association With Clinical Outcomes in Southern Angola: A Hospital‐Based Study

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acute febrile illnesses in sub‐Saharan Africa are often attributed to malaria, yet many patients test negative for malaria parasites. The aetiology of nonmalarial fevers remains understudied. Here, we examine likely causes of febrile illnesses and their association with poor clinical outcomes in Angola.

A The ratio of neutrophils l and the mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio as risk factors for febrile convulsions in Zakho

Zanco Journal of Medical Sciences
Background and objective: The most prevalent cause of convulsions in young children is febrile convulsions. The ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes (NLR), the mean platelet volume (MPV), and the platelet count are indicators of inflammation.

Bacterial screening of platelet donations in England, 2014–2023

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Bacterial contamination of blood components is an ongoing problem in transfusion medicine. We analysed the bacterial screening data of platelets from England, 2014–2023, and compared this with data on reported near‐misses and transfusion‐transmitted infections (TTIs). Materials and Methods Anonymized data on bacterial

Getting It Right the Second Time: How Can we Optimize First‐Generation Cephalosporin Dosing for Skin and Soft Tissue Infections in the 21st Century?

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, Volume 46, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Optimal cephalexin and cefadroxil dosing for skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) is unclear. We summarize clinical and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) data that compare dosing strategies for SSTIs. Additionally, we conduct population PK target attainment simulations for varying doses of cephalexin and cefadroxil for Staphylococcus ...

Improved Detection and Sequencing of Rickettsia spp. DNA in South African Wildlife

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Nested gltA PCR detected Rickettsia spp. DNA in 44% of South African wildlife samples previously negative by RLB, revealing spotted fever, typhus and transitional group lineages, novel host records, co‐infection and multi‐organ dissemination in impala, highlighting complex wildlife involvement and zoonotic risk within a One Health framework.

Elranatamab in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma: Mechanisms, Clinical Evidence, and Emerging Perspectives

European Journal of Haematology, Volume 117, Issue 1, Page 42-54, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) remains associated with poor outcomes, particularly in patients exposed or refractory to proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, and anti‐CD38 monoclonal antibodies. Targeting B‐cell maturation antigen (BCMA) has emerged as an effective therapeutic strategy, prompting the development of ...

Ph‐Negative Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in the Older Adults: Biology, Therapeutic Strategies and Unmet Needs

European Journal of Haematology, Volume 117, Issue 1, Page 24-41, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in older adults represents a growing clinical challenge, driven by an ageing population, adverse disease biology, and reduced tolerance to intensive chemotherapy. Although pediatric‐inspired regimens have improved outcomes in younger adults with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)‐negative ALL, survival in older ...
