Coccidioidal meningitis remains difficult to treat. The newer triazole, isavuconazole, has demonstrated efficacy in invasive fungal disease with less side effects than other azoles. We describe a case of refractory pediatric coccidioidal meningitis with disease stabilization and improvement on isavuconazole after failing treatment with other antifungal agents. ... Read more >>

Diarrhea is a major cause of infant mortality. Being a "nonsecretor" (having an inactive fucosylase-2 gene) protects against diarrhea by inhibiting enteric infections. Breastfeeding also protects against diarrhea; however, the impact of maternal secretor status is unknown. In the ALSPAC cohort (N = 4971), we found that breastfeeding by nonsecretor ... Read more >>

<h4>Background</h4>Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, is a nonfermentative, aerobic, Gram-negative bacilli which is intrinsically resistance to several antibiotics. Treatment options for this bacteria are quite different from the other Gram-negative bacilli, which can represent a therapeutic challenge. To initiate appropriate empiric treatment and to reduce mortality, differentiation of S. maltophilia from other Gram-negative ... Read more >>
