Why Staph May Persist in the Nose of Certain Individuals

Nasal colonization, or extended residence of Staph in the inner lining of nose, has been a well-recognized risk factor for Staph infection in the deeper tissue including wound infections after undergoing surgery.

It is not certain why certain people may develop persistent nasal colonization whereas, most others remain free of such bacterial presence and persistence.

Pneumonia in Older Patients Continues to be a Serious Illness

Pneumonia is a serious and potentially life-threatening infection that often requires admission to a hospital. It is a well-known fact that risk and complications of pneumonia increase with advancing age.

Among those who required hospitalization for “community acquired pneumonia” or “CAP”, one fifth of patients (21%) needed urgent treatment in the intensive care unit. Deaths were observed in 2% of patients.

CID Immunology's Medical Update at http://www.centerinfectiousdiseasesimmunology.com/category/medupdates/ offers more information on the prevention and treatment of CAP.

Common Misconceptions About Urinary Tract Infection

A considerable number of patients, mostly in the community are subject to misdiagnosis and may be given unnecessary antibiotic therapy that they DO NOT need.
