Abstract

The letter to the editor responds to a critique of the evaluation period in a study on the effectiveness of Ensitrelvir in reducing severe outcomes in COVID-19 patients. The study found that Ensitrelvir reduced hospitalization rates in high-risk patients, including those with underlying diseases. Subgroup analyses were conducted to assess the impact of Ensitrelvir on different high-risk factors. The authors suggest further research to identify specific patient populations that may benefit from antiviral treatment. The study was supported by Shionogi & Co., Ltd., and the data used are available from JMDC Inc. with restrictions. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Exophiala dermatitidis is an emerging black fungus that causes pulmonary infections that may be underestimated by conventional culture methods. We encountered one case that initially appeared to be yeast and was misidentified as Rhodotorula spp. using a commercial identification kit. Thus, genetic identification and clinical background investigations were conducted on 46 strains of Rhodotorula spp. The sequences of the internal transcribed spacer and large‐subunit RNA genes (D1/D2 regions) of 43 isolates, excluding two environmental isolates and one difficult‐to‐culture isolate, were determined and genetically identified. Notably, 22 isolates were identified as E. dermatitidis and misidentified as Rhodotorula spp. using the conventional method. Based on the exclusion criteria, the clinical information of 11 patients was retrospectively reviewed. Five cases (definite) had definite exacerbation of pulmonary infections due to E. dermatitidis, and six cases (possible) had undeniable infections. Of the 11 cases of pulmonary infection suggested to be caused by E. dermatitidis, comorbidities included two cases of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA), three cases of pulmonary non‐tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection and one case of pulmonary nocardiosis, suggesting a trend towards simultaneous detection of chronic pulmonary infections. Steroid and immunosuppressive drug use was observed in five cases, and β‐D‐glucan elevation was observed in three of five definite cases of pulmonary infections due to E. dermatitidis. The possibility of E. dermatitidis infection should be considered when Rhodotorula spp. are isolated from cultures of airway‐derived specimens, and, in addition to CPA and NTM, identification of E. dermatitidis may be important in chronic pulmonary infections.

Abstract

This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from a Japanese health insurance database to assess the effectiveness of baloxavir (n = 4822) for preventing severe events compared with oseltamivir (n = 10,523) in patients with influenza B. The primary endpoint was hospitalization incidence (Days 2–14). The secondary endpoints included intravenous antibacterial drug use, pneumonia hospitalization, heart failure hospitalization, inhalational oxygen requirement, and use of other anti‐influenza drugs. The hospitalization incidence was significantly lower with baloxavir (0.15% vs. 0.37%; risk ratio: 2.48, 95% confidence interval: 1.13–5.43). Pneumonia and additional anti‐influenza therapy were also less frequent with baloxavir, thus supporting its use.

Abstract

Objectives: In the present study, we aimed to clarify the mechanisms by which periodontal pathogens, particularly Prevotella intermedia, induce severe neutrophilic inflammation. In addition, we aimed to test the efficacy of macrolides, which has not been resolved in the neutrophilic inflammation induced by P. intermedia. Methods: NCl-H292 human airway epithelial cells were pre-incubated with clarithromycin for 2 h before incubation with P. intermedia supernatants. Then, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8) transcription and interleukin (IL)-8 production were measured. To elucidate the signaling pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors were added to the cell culture, and the cells were subjected to Western blotting. Results:P. intermedia supernatants promoted CXCL8 transcription and IL-8 production, and the reactions were significantly suppressed by clarithromycin pretreatment. Only trametinib, the selective mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibitor, downregulated CXCL8 transcription and IL-8 production. Furthermore, Western blotting revealed that stimulation with P. intermedia supernatants specifically induces extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) 1/2 phosphorylation, which is suppressed by clarithromycin pretreatment. Notably, the interference analysis revealed that ERK3 might be dispensable for IL-8 production under the stimulation of P. intermedia supernatants. Conclusions: Our results provide new insight into the mechanism underlying P. intermedia-induced production of IL-8 from human airway epithelial cells. Furthermore, macrolides might have therapeutic potential in regulating periodontal pathogen-induced neutrophilic inflammation in the lungs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Introduction: Functional decline occurs during dialysis initiation, particularly in unplanned cases. To prevent unplanned hemodialysis, we aimed to identify associated factors from the first referral to the nephrology department to hemodialysis initiation and assess patient prognosis post‐unplanned hemodialysis initiation. Methods: This retrospective study involved 257 Japanese patients initiating hemodialysis and compared patient characteristics based on whether hemodialysis was planned or unplanned at a single center. Patient outcomes were evaluated in collaboration with maintenance hemodialysis centers. Results: Unplanned hemodialysis initiation correlated with heart failure history (p < 0.05) and infections like pneumonia (p < 0.001). Patients with unplanned hemodialysis initiation had a worse prognosis than those with planned initiation (p < 0.001), and multivariable Cox regression showed it as an independent risk factor for death (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Hygiene and careful attention to heart failure may reduce unplanned hemodialysis and improve patient well‐being and healthcare efficiency. This retrospective analysis highlights crucial considerations for optimizing the initiation of hemodialysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background and Objective: The identification of factors associated with long‐term prognosis after community‐onset pneumonia in elderly patients should be considered when initiating advance care planning (ACP). We aimed to identify these factors and develop a prediction score model. Methods: Patients aged 65 years and older, who were hospitalized for pneumonia at nine collaborating institutions, were included. The prognosis of patients 180 days after the completion of antimicrobial treatment for pneumonia was prospectively collected. Results: The total number of analysable cases was 399, excluding 7 outliers and 42 cases with missing data or unknown prognosis. These cases were randomly divided in an 8:2 ratio for score development and testing. The median age was 82 years, and there were 68 (17%) deaths. A multivariate analysis showed that significant factors were performance status (PS) ≥2 (Odds ratio [OR], 11.78), hypoalbuminemia ≤2.5 g/dL (OR, 5.28) and dementia (OR, 3.15), while age and detection of antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria were not associated with prognosis. A scoring model was then developed with PS ≥2, Alb ≤2.5, and dementia providing scores of 2, 1 and 1 each, respectively, for a total of 4. The area under the curve was 0.8504, and the sensitivity and specificity were 94.6% and 61.7% at the cutoff of 2, respectively. In the test cases, the sensitivity and specificity were 91.7% and 63.1%, respectively, at a cutoff value of 2. Conclusion: Patients meeting this score should be considered near the end of life, and the initiation of ACP practices should be considered. We aimed to identify factors influencing the long‐term prognosis of elderly patients with pneumonia and to develop a prediction score model for the effective initiation of advance care planning. Performance status (PS) ≥2, hypoalbuminemia ≤2.5 g/dL and dementia were significant factors. The scoring model demonstrated 94.6% sensitivity and 61.7% specificity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The diagnosis of pulmonary lymphoma using small tissue samples is difficult and often requires surgical procedures; thus, a less invasive sampling method is desirable. Moreover, pulmonary involvement in adult T-cell lymphoma (ATL) is often difficult to diagnose, especially in cases without characteristic flower cells. Here, we present the case of a 78-year-old man, in whom pathological examination of the transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) specimen did not reveal malignant findings; therefore, transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) in combination with endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) was used to diagnose ATL based on the pathological findings. A literature review identified 18 cases of pulmonary lymphomas diagnosed using TBLC. Among the 19 cases, including our own, 16 cases were of B-cell lymphoma (84.2%), and the present case is the first case of ATL diagnosed using TBLC. Eighty percent of the cases underwent a biopsy (more than two samples) of the middle or lower lobe and were diagnosed without major complications. EBUS was used with TBLC in three cases to identify the location of the pulmonary lesions. In the present case, EBUS was also useful for avoiding vascular biopsy. Although large-scale prospective studies are required to establish precise guidelines for diagnosing pulmonary lymphomas using TBLC, our case report and review contributes to a deeper understanding of the diagnosis of rare diseases.

Abstract

Data on antifungal susceptibility of Cryptococcus neoformans are limited in Japan. A total of 89 C. neoformans strains isolated from 83 non-human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients with cryptococcosis between 1997 and 2021 in Nagasaki, Japan, were investigated. Using the reference method M27-Ed4 by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, the minimum inhibitory concentration for 90% of isolates of fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, amphotericin B, and flucytosine were 4, 0.125, 0.06, 0.5, and 4 µg/ml, respectively, which were below the reported epidemiological cutoff values, without any detectable non-wild-type strains. Our findings imply no increasing trend of antifungal-resistant C. neoformans in Nagasaki, Japan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
