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

Age‐Dependent Differences in Canakinumab Safety: A Comprehensive Pharmacovigilance Analysis Using the FAERS Database

Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT While the efficacy of canakinumab, an anti‐interleukin‐1β monoclonal antibody, is well‐established, its safety profile, particularly across different age groups, remains inadequately explored. Using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database, this study evaluated postmarketing safety by analyzing adverse event (AE) reports from ...
