Article Abstract

The members of the Japanese Society for Pediatric Infectious Diseases and the Japanese Society of Pediatric Pulmonology have developed Guidelines for the Management of Respiratory Infectious Diseases in Children with the objective of facilitating appropriate diagnosis, treatment and prevention of respiratory infections in children. The first edition was published in 2004 and the fifth edition was published in 2022. The Guideline 2022 consists of 2 parts, clinical questions and commentary, and includes general respiratory infections and specific infections in children with underlying diseases and severe infections. This executive summary outlines the clinical questions in the Guidelines 2022, with reference to the Japanese Medical Information Distribution Service Manual. All recommendations are supported by a systematic search for relevant evidence and are followed by the strength of the recommendation and the quality of the evidence statements.

Purpose Of Review: Sulbactam-durlobactam (SUL-DUR) is a novel β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination recently approved for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) infections. This review summarizes current knowledge on the optimal use of SUL-DUR, whether administered alone or in combination with carbapenems, particularly imipenem.

Recent Findings: Data from registrational trial demonstrate that SUL-DUR is an effective and well tolerated treatment option for CRAB severe infections.

Purpose Of Review: Diagnostic stewardship (DS) aims to optimise the use of laboratory testing to improve patient care while reducing unnecessary tests. This review examines recent evidence on DS interventions to optimise the use of resources, focusing on three key areas: reducing unnecessary testing, maximising the impact of existing tests, and avoiding the overdiagnosis of hospital-acquired infections.

Recent Findings: Multiple interventions have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing unnecessary blood and urine culture testing, including clinical decision support tools, education programs, and multidisciplinary approaches.

Microbial cell-free DNA for diagnosis of bacterial and fungal infection in the immunocompromised host - what do we know?

Purpose Of Review: Plasma metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) enables detection of microbial cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (mcfDNA) in blood without the need for culture or organism-specific primers. Here, we review clinical performance, methodological variability, and real-world application of plasma mNGS for infectious disease diagnosis in immunocompromised hosts (ICHs).

Recent Findings: Plasma mNGS has rapidly gained attention as a novel diagnostic tool for infections in ICHs, offering broad-range pathogen detection from a noninvasive blood sample.

Metabolic associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a severe form of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) characterized by hepatocellular injury, inflammation, and fibrosis. Despite advances in understanding its pathophysiology, the molecular mechanisms driving MASH progression remain unclear. This study investigates the role of long non-coding RNA Linc01271 in MASLD/MASH pathogenesis, ant its involvement in the miR-149-3p/RAB35 axis and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
