• Campylobacter coli is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic, non-endospore-forming, S-shaped bacterial species within genus Campylobacter. (wikipedia.org)
  • BACKGROUND: Protection against symptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19]) can limit transmission and the risk of post-COVID conditions, and is particularly important among healthcare personnel. (cdc.gov)
  • Although most patients recover from the infection, severe post-infectious complications such as Guillain-BarrĂ© syndrome, a rare autoimmune condition which causes muscle weakness as a result of the immune system damaging the peripheral nervous system, have been linked to campylobacteriosis. (wikipedia.org)
  • While extra fluid is required of an infected person for as long as the symptoms lasts, antibiotics such as azithromycin or ciprofloxacin can be used to treat risk groups, including immunocompromised patients. (wikipedia.org)
  • Cryptococcosis is a well-recognised infection in immunocompromised patients, although its prevalence varies with the type of immune defect. (annals.edu.sg)
  • Blastomycosis is a potentially fatal fungal infection endemic to parts of North America. (cdc.gov)
  • Among children with asthma at age 7-8 years, Shannon fungal diversity was inversely associated with frequent asthma symptoms at that age (OR 0.57, P = 0.025) and with asthma persistence to age 10-11 (OR 0.48, P = 0.043). (cdc.gov)
  • DISCUSSION: Lower fungal diversity was associated with asthma symptoms in this urban setting. (cdc.gov)
