To help a person having a :

✅Lay the person down, on their side, head turned to help breathing
✅Ensure the person is breathing properly – loosen clothing around the neck
✅Place something soft under the head
✅Stay with the person until the seizure stops and they wake up
✅Don’t restrain the person or put anything in their mouth

An interim analysis of a retrospective cohort study found that vaccination in , given between 32 and 36 weeks’ gestation, was not associated with increased risk of preterm birth, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, premature rupture of membranes, or preterm rupture of membranes.

After robust confounding adjustment and 1:1 matching, safety outcomes for RSVpreF-vaccinated and unvaccinated pregnancies were similar.

🔬 What causes Fever of Unknown Origin FUO in ?

A recent Egyptian study conducted at (2020–2022) investigated the causes of and revealed important findings:

🦠Key findings:
•66% of FUO cases were due to infections
•Bacterial infections were confirmed in over one-third of patients
•Most bacteria were Gram-negative
•Common Gram-positive bacteria included Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp.

⚠️ A worrying trend: Antibiotic resistance

•Around two-thirds of bacterial isolates were multidrug-resistant MDR
•Carbapenem resistance was found in more than 40% of Gram-negative bacteria
•MRSA accounted for about 65% of Staphylococcus aureus isolates
•Resistance genes like blaOXA-48, blaTEM, and blaCTX-M were highly prevalent

💊 Why does this matter?
These findings highlight a serious burden of antibiotic-resistant infections among FUO patients, making diagnosis and treatment more challenging.

📌 Take-home message:
The study stresses the urgent need for:
✔️ Stronger antimicrobial stewardship
✔️ Better infection control
✔️ Updated empirical treatment guidelines based on local resistance patterns

🔔 Understanding local bacterial profiles is key to improving patient outcomes and fighting antimicrobial resistance.
