(2006)Objectives: Surveillance data concerning antimicrobial susceptibilities of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated in Greece during the 11 year period 1994-2004 are presented. Methods: Antimicrobial susceptibilities of all gonococcal ... -
Complicated urinary tract infections
(2000)The term complicated urinary tract infection is usually used to convey an infection that occurs in a patient with a structural or functional abnormality impeding urine flow, or in a host with altered defences. The distinction ... -
Considerations on the Current Universal Vaccination Policy against Hepatitis A in Greece after Recent Outbreaks
(2015)Greece is the only European Union member state that in 2008 included hepatitis A (HAV) vaccine in the routine national childhood immunization program (NCIP). Given that the resources allocated to public health have ... -
A cross-sectional sero-epidemiological study of canine leishmaniasis in Greek mainland
(2012)Canine leishmaniasis is endemic in Greece as in other countries of the Mediterranean basin. In this study, the regional prevalence of canine seropositivity to Leishmania spp. in Greek mainland was simultaneously assessed ... -
A cross-sectional study of Leishmania spp. infection in clinically healthy dogs with polymerase chain reaction and serology in Greece
(2002)A total of 73 clinically healthy hunting dogs, experiencing an outdoor lifestyle and originating from an area where canine leishmaniasis is endemic, were included in the study. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and indirect ... -
Detection and Zoonotic Potential of Trichinella spp. from Free-Range Pig Farming in Greece
(2012)Trichinellosis is a serious parasitic zoonosis, which is widely distributed around the world. Pork meat is still the predominant source of outbreaks of human trichinellosis in many countries. The aim of this study is to ... -
Development and validation of a questionnaire (FASH-Functional Assessment Scale for Acute Hamstring Injuries): to measure the severity and impact of symptoms on function and sports ability in patients with acute hamstring injuries
(2014)Objective To develop a condition-specific patient-reported outcome measure, the Functional Assessment Scale for Acute Hamstring Injuries (FASH), de novo in three languages, following distinct and rigorous methodology for ... -
Dissemination of clonally unrelated erythromycin- and glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates in a tertiary Greek hospital
(2001)Between September 1999 to February 2001, 25 glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus faecium (GRE) isolates were recovered from a Greek hospital. The isolates exhibited 13 distinct chromosomal macrorestriction types by pulsed-field ... -
Dynamics of pneumococcal carriage among day-care center attendees during the transition from the 7-valent to the higher-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in Greece
(2014)Background: In Greece recently, higher-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) replaced the 7-valent (PCV7); the 10-valent (PCV10) became available in May 2009 and the 13-valent (PCV13) in June 2010. Methods: We ... -
Emerging Trichinella britovi infections in free ranging pigs of Greece
(2014)Trichinella infections in humans and pigs have been documented in Greece since 1945 and a high prevalence of infection in pigs occurred in the 1950s. Up to 1984 only sporadic infections in humans were documented, and this ... -
Evaluation of seroneutralization and molecular diagnostic methods for echovirus identification
(2005)In this study we compared the identification results of 41 echovirus clinical isolates using RIVM pools (National Institute for Public Health and the Environment RIVM, Bilthoven, The Netherlands) and reverse transcriptio ... -
Family-based association study of the loci 2 and 3 in a European restless legs syndrome population
(2007)Three loci for the restless legs syndrome (RLS) on chromosomes 12q, 14q, and 9p (RLS 1, RLS2, and RLS3) have been mapped, but no gene has been identified as yet. RLS1 has been confirmed in families from three different ... -
Fusidic acid and clindamycin resistance in community-associated, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in children of Central Greece
(2010)Introduction: In Greece, fusidic acid and clindamycin are commonly used for the empiric therapy of suspected staphylococcal infections. Methods: The medical records of children examined at the outpatient clinics or admitted ... -
Genotype 4 HCV infection is difficult to cure with pegylated interferon and ribavirin. Results from a Greek Nationwide Cohort Study
(2014)Background and aim: Patients with genotype 4 (G4) chronic hepatitis C (CHC) are considered a difficult to treat population, although current data on G4 treatment responsiveness and duration are controversial. Greece ... -
Global evolution of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clonal lineages
(2013)The rapid expansion of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates exhibiting resistance to carbapenems and most or all available antibiotics during the last decade is a worrying evolution. The apparent predominance of a few ... -
Interaction of the heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and the use of individual antibiotics among children on nasopharyngeal colonization with erythromycin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae
