ID Week

Rates of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and engagement in HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis during the COVID-19 pandemic were previously unknown, but one IDWeek study examined these data trends over the past few years.

An expert explains the science of vaccine- and infection-induced immunity, and how it informs the timeline of COVID-19 outbreaks this year.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is safe and effective for preventing HIV when used correctly, but this information is not as well-known as it should be, new study finds.

A team from a tertiary center in the Middle East used a multidisciplinary approach to increase immunization.

In research presented virtually at IDWeek 2021, investigators with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducted a review of nursing home antibiotic stewardship citation deficiencies in order to improve implementation.

In newly hospitalized hypoxic patients with COVID-19, the monoclonal antibody significantly improved survival without invasive mechanical ventilation compared with placebo and available treatments, according to phase 3 trial results.

Ferring is presenting data from five studies at this week’s IDWeek about its investigational biotherapeutic, RBX2660, being studied for this problematic bacterium.

“Compared to the pre-COVID period, the odds ratio for CVD encounters was nearly doubled in each post-COVID period from 31 to 90 days post onset,” Brian Agan, MD, deputy science director and HIV research director of the Infectious Disease Clinical Research Program at USU/HJF and presenting author, told Contagion®.

We asked a simple question to our IDWeek experts: has COVID-19 taken attention away from any greater infectious disease issues?

New data suggest collaboration between hospital prescribers and stewardship teams is still not perfected.

New data show the pandemic, and a lack of efficacious therapies, did harm to 4 years' worth of stewardship.

Investigators wanted to examine spontaneously reported adverse events and whether they were cause for concern.

A presenting author offers greater study insights into this novel therapy for the treatment of serious infections.

The study population comprised 224 patients admitted to the ICU with influenza, and the overall rate of IPA was 3.1% (7/224).

Reports of hospitalized older adults with COVID-19 who do not experience the classic symptoms are on the rise.

“The compound appears to be safe and well-tolerated, [and we observed] excellent efficacy based on a very small sample size,” Peter G. Pappas, MD, said.

The urgent care setting is a prime target for antimicrobial stewardship efforts as it becomes an increasingly prevalent form of healthcare delivery.
