There is a wide spectrum of disease severity in paediatric Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia
Scabies and impetigo are common in Timor-Leste, with very high prevalence of scabies in the rural district of Ermera
We examined the impact of introducing a dedicated team to OPAT, to define the role of increased medical oversight in improving patient outcomes in this cohort.
The objective of this study was to describe the occurrence of skin infection associated hospitalizations in children born in Western Australia (WA).
Skin infections are a significant cause of severe disease, requiring hospitalization in Western Australian children, particularly with Aboriginal children
The introduction of a formal medical team to Hospital in the Home (HiTH) demonstrated a positive clinical impact on Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) patients' outcomes.
Scabies and impetigo infections are under-recognised and hence under-treated by clinicians
The evidence derived from the review will be used to inform the development of guidelines for the management of skin infections in resource-limited settings
Treatment success for scabies co-infection was lower than for impetigo overall, with a higher success seen in the co-trimoxazole group than benzylpenicillin
We report osteomyelitis incidence in indigenous children of northern Australia is amongst the highest reported in the world
