How to use biomarkers of infection or sepsis at the bedside: guide to clinicians

Pedro Povoa et al.

Summary: Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Biomarkers can be used as indicators for infection, dysregulated host response, treatment response, and can aid in prognosticating patient risk. Over 250 biomarkers have been identified and evaluated, but none can accurately differentiate between sepsis and sepsis-like syndrome.

Study of cerebrospinal fluid levels of lactate, lactate dehydrogenase and adenosine deaminase in the diagnosis and outcome of acute meningitis

Lovelina Singh et al.

Summary: The study found that CSF lactate levels were significantly elevated in bacterial meningitis and cryptococcal meningitis, with high sensitivity. Elevated LDH levels were only found in bacterial meningitis, while significantly elevated ADA levels were noted in tuberculous meningitis. High levels of lactate and ADA were associated with slower clinical recovery and longer hospital stay, suggesting a potential role in early differentiation of different etiologies of acute meningitis.

Summary: CSF NfL concentration is independently associated with unfavorable outcome in adults with community-acquired bacterial meningitis, suggesting that it may serve as a useful prognostic biomarker in bacterial meningitis.

Community-acquired bacterial meningitis in patients of 80 years and older

Thijs M. van Soest et al.

Summary: In elderly patients aged 80 years and older with community-acquired bacterial meningitis, common predisposing factors include diabetes mellitus, otitis or sinusitis, and pneumonia. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common causative pathogen in this age group, but atypical pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli are more prevalent compared to younger patients. Despite a high case fatality rate in this age group, 30% of patients had a favorable outcome. Characteristics associated with an unfavorable outcome include absence of otitis or sinusitis, presence of aphasia, mono- or hemiparesis, lower Glasgow Coma Scale score, higher heart rate, and higher blood C-reactive protein concentration. Consideration of atypical pathogens should be made when initiating empirical antimicrobial therapy in elderly patients aged 80 years and older.

Lactate cross-talk in host-pathogen interactions

Alba Llibre et al.

Summary: Lactate plays a crucial role in host-pathogen interactions, influencing pathogen growth, immune responses, and potential therapeutic strategies. Its ubiquitous presence and the ability of both host cells and pathogens to sense and respond to lactate highlight its importance in infection contexts.

Community-acquired bacterial meningitis

Diederik van de Beek et al.

Summary: Progress has been made in the prevention and treatment of community-acquired bacterial meningitis, but the disease burden remains high globally. Diagnosis and treatment should take into account the unique clinical characteristics and various examinations, with treatment plans being adjusted according to local conditions.
