Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the epidemiological characteristics of pediatric sepsis in Southwest China PICUs. DESIGN A prospective, multicenter, and observational study. SETTING Twelve PICUs in Southwest China. PATIENTS The patients admitted to the PICU from April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2023. The age ranged from 28 days to 18 years. All patients met the criteria of severe sepsis or septic shock. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of the 31 PICUs invited to participate, 12 PICUs (capacity of 292 beds) enrolled patients in the study. During the study period, 11,238 children were admitted to the participating PICUs, 367 (3.3%) of whom met the diagnosis of severe sepsis or septic shock. The most prevalent sites of infection were the respiratory system (55%) and the digestive system (15%). The primary treatments administered to these patients included antibiotics (100%), albumin (61.3%), invasive mechanical ventilation (58.7%), glucocorticoids (55.6%), blood products (51%), gammaglobulin (51%), and vasoactive medications (46.6%). Sepsis-related mortality in the PICU was 11.2% (41/367). Nearly half of the sepsis deaths occurred within the first 3 days of PICU admission (22/41, 53.7%). The mortality rate of septic shock (32/167, 19.2%) was significantly higher than that of severe sepsis (9/200, 4.5%; p < 0.001). The outcomes of a multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that a higher pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, and the use of invasive mechanical ventilation and vasoactive medications were independently associated with PICU mortality in children with sepsis. CONCLUSIONS This report updates the epidemiological data of pediatric sepsis in PICUs in Southwest China. Sepsis is still a life-threatening disease in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis remains a global health burden associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Bacteria are known to be the predominant pathogens in sepsis; however, viral etiologies in sepsis are still under diagnosed. Respiratory viral pathogens have been previously linked to sepsis, but the knowledge of incidence, disease burden and mortality of viral-induced sepsis remains limited. This study aimed at understanding the role of respiratory viral infections in the causation of sepsis in liver disease patients. METHODS In this retrospective study, the clinical records of liver disease patients with influenza-like illness, whose requests for respiratory viral testing were received from January 2019 to December 2022, were reviewed. Respiratory viruses were identified using FilmArray 2.0 respiratory panel (BioFire Diagnostics, Utah, USA). RESULTS Of 1391 patients tested, a respiratory viral etiology was detected in 23%. The occurrence of sepsis was seen in 35%. Among these, isolated viral etiology with no other bacterial/fungal coinfection was found in 55% of patients. Rhinovirus/Enterovirus was found as the most common underlying viral etiology (23.4%). The sepsis prevalence was higher among patients with associated comorbidities (45%) and decompensated cirrhosis (84%). On multi-variable analysis, no factor was found independently associated with sepsis-related mortality. CONCLUSION This study underlines the importance of isolated viral etiology in causation of sepsis among liver disease patients. Patients with comorbidities, older age and decompensated cirrhosis are at an increased risk of developing sepsis and are associated with poorer outcomes. Accurate and timely identification of the viral etiology in sepsis would prevent the misuse of antibiotics and improve overall patient care.

Abstract
Sepsis, a severe global healthcare challenge, is characterized by significant morbidity and mortality. The 2016 redefinition by the Third International Consensus Definitions Task Force emphasizes its complexity as a "life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection". Bacterial pathogens, historically dominant, exhibit geographic variations, influencing healthcare strategies. The intricate dynamics of bacterial immunity involve recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns, triggering innate immune responses and inflammatory cascades. Dysregulation leads to immunothrombosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction, contributing to the septic state. Viral sepsis, historically less prevalent, saw a paradigm shift during the COVID-19 pandemic, underscoring the need to understand the immunological response. Retinoic acid-inducible gene I-like receptors and Toll-like receptors play pivotal roles, and the cytokine storm in COVID-19 differs from bacterial sepsis. Latent viruses like human cytomegalovirus impact sepsis by reactivating during the immunosuppressive phases. Challenges in sepsis management include rapid pathogen identification, antibiotic resistance monitoring, and balancing therapy beyond antibiotics. This review highlights the evolving sepsis landscape, emphasizing the need for pathogen-specific therapeutic developments in a dynamic and heterogeneous clinical setting.

Abstract
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a new infectious disease caused by bunyavirus, and the critically cases conform to the definition of sepsis. In order to compare the differences between SFTS sepsis and non-SFTS sepsis, a retrospective analysis was performed. Thirty-seven SFTS sepsis and 96 non-SFTS sepsis patients were enrolled. The clinical characteristics, laboratory results were compared between the two groups and independent prognostic risk of mortality were investigated respectively. Compared with non-SFTS sepsis, SFTS cases had lower white blood cell, neutrophil and platelet counts, prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time and decreased fibrinogen, slightly elevated inflammatory indicators. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE II) score were independent prognostic risk factors in non-SFTS sepsis. The mortality risk of STFS sepsis was related to the viral clearance. There was no difference in viral load between SFTS survivors and non-survivors on admission. However, the differences were significant on 5th, 7th, 10th, and 14th day, and all SFTS non-survivors died within 14 days. Viral clearance rate on 7th day was an independent risk factor for mortality in SFTS sepsis. The mortality risk of STFS sepsis was related to the viral clearance rate.

Abstract
Engineered vector-based in vivo protein delivery platforms have made significant progress for both prophylactic and therapeutic applications. However, the lack of effective release strategies results in foreign cargo being trapped within the vector, restricting the provision of significant performance benefits and enhanced therapeutic results compared to traditional vaccines. Herein, the development of a Salmonella mRNA interferase regulation vector (SIRV) system is reported to overcome this challenge. The genetic circuits are engineered that (1) induce self-lysis to release foreign antigens into target cells and (2) activate the cytosolic surveillance cGAS-STING axis by releasing DNA into the cytoplasm. Delayed synthesis of the MazF interferase regulates differential mRNA cleavage, resulting in a 36-fold increase in the delivery of foreign antigens and modest activation of the inflammasome, which collectively contribute to the marked maturation of antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Bacteria delivering the protective antigen SaoA exhibits excellent immunogenicity and safety in mouse and pig models, significantly improving the survival rate of animals challenged with multiple serotypes of Streptococcus suis. Thus, the SIRV system enables the effective integration of various modular components and antigen cargos, allowing for the generation of an extensive range of intracellular protein delivery systems using multiple bacterial species in a highly efficient manner.

Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) viral infections are critical causes of morbidity and mortality in children; however, comprehensive data on etiology is lacking in developing countries such as Indonesia. To study the etiology of CNS infections in a pediatric population, 50 children admitted to two hospitals in Bandung, West Java, during 2017-2018 were enrolled in a CNS infection study. Cerebrospinal fluid and serum specimens were tested using molecular, serological, and virus isolation platforms for a number of viral and bacteriological agents. Causal pathogens were identified in 10 out of 50 (20%) and included cytomegalovirus (n = 4), Streptococcus pneumoniae (n = 2), tuberculosis (n = 2), Salmonella serotype Typhi (n = 1) and dengue virus (n = 1). Our study highlights the importance of using a wide range of molecular and serological detection methods to identify CNS pathogens, as well as the challenges of establishing the etiology of CNS infections in pediatric populations of countries with limited laboratory capacity.

Abstract
Sepsis, a life-threatening dysregulated status of the host response to infection, can cause multiorgan dysfunction and mortality. Sepsis places a heavy burden on the cardiovascular system due to the pathological imbalance of hyperinflammation and immune suppression. Myocardial injury and cardiac dysfunction caused by the aberrant host responses to pathogens can lead to cardiomyopathy, one of the most critical complications of sepsis. However, many questions about the specific mechanisms and characteristics of this complication remain to be answered. The causes of sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction include abnormal cardiac perfusion, myocardial inhibitory substances, autonomic dysfunction, mitochondrial dysfunction, and calcium homeostasis dysregulation. The fight between the host and pathogens acts as the trigger for sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy. Pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death, plays a critical role in the progress of sepsis. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) act as pattern recognition receptors and participate in innate immune pathways that recognize damage-associated molecular patterns as well as pathogen-associated molecular patterns to mediate pyroptosis. Notably, pyroptosis is tightly associated with cardiac dysfunction in sepsis and septic shock. In line with these observations, induction of TLR-mediated pyroptosis may be a promising therapeutic approach to treat sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy. This review focuses on the potential roles of TLR-mediated pyroptosis in sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy, to shed light on this promising therapeutic approach, thus helping to prevent and control septic shock caused by cardiovascular disorders and improve the prognosis of sepsis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by severe infection in children, but cases of sepsis associated with human parainfluenza virus (HPIV) have been rarely reported in newborns. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of HPIV-3 positive full-term newborn admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Beijing Children's Hospital due to hematuria, gloomy spirit, inactivity and loss of appetite for 6 h. He had septic shock when he arrived the Accident & Emergency Department requiring immediate intubation and mechanical ventilation. Intravenous antibiotics were started. He had completely negative response to all anti-shock treatments including fluid resuscitation and vasopressor supports, and died 14 h later. Viral nucleic acid detection and metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) analyses of nasopharyngeal aspirate and blood specimens verified an HPIV-3 infection, with negative bacterial culture results. The HPIV-3 strain detected in this patient was subtyped as HPIV C3a, and two unreported amino acid mutations were found in the HN protein region. CONCLUSION The patient had a severe infection associated with HPIV-3, which was the cause of sepsis and septic shock. This study showed the diagnostic value of mNGS in etiological diagnosis, especially in severe neonatal case.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, with extremely high mortality. Notably, sepsis is a heterogeneous syndrome characterized by a vast, multidimensional array of clinical and biologic features, which has hindered advances in the therapeutic field beyond the current standards. DATA SOURCES We used PubMed to search the subject-related medical literature by searching for the following single and/or combination keywords: sepsis, heterogeneity, personalized treatment, host response, infection, epidemiology, mortality, incidence, age, children, sex, comorbidities, gene susceptibility, infection sites, bacteria, fungi, virus, host response, organ dysfunction and management. RESULTS We found that host factors (age, biological sex, comorbidities, and genetics), infection etiology, host response dysregulation and multiple organ dysfunctions can all result in different disease manifestations, progression, and response to treatment, which make it difficult to effectively treat and manage sepsis patients. CONCLUSIONS Herein, we have summarized contributing factors to sepsis heterogeneity, including host factors, infection etiology, host response dysregulation, and multiple organ dysfunctions, from the key elements of pathogenesis of sepsis. An in-depth understanding of the factors that contribute to the heterogeneity of sepsis will help clinicians understand the complexity of sepsis and enable researchers to conduct more personalized clinical studies for homogenous patients.

Abstract
Patients with severe infections and a pre-existing indication for antithrombotic therapy, i.e. antiplatelet agents, anticoagulant drugs, or their combinations, require integrated clinical counselling among coagulation, infectious disease, and cardiology specialists, due to sepsis-induced coagulopathy that frequently occurs. Bacterial and viral pathogens constitute an increasing threat to global public health, especially for patients with ongoing antithrombotic treatment who have a high risk of thrombotic recurrences and high susceptibility to severe infections with increased morbidity and mortality. Similarly, sepsis survivors are at increased risk for major vascular events. Coagulopathy, which often complicates severe infections, is associated with a high mortality and obligates clinicians to adjust antithrombotic drug type and dosing to avoid bleeding while preventing thrombotic complications. This clinical consensus statement reviews the best available evidence to provide expert opinion and statements on the management of patients hospitalized for severe bacterial or viral infections with a pre-existing indication for antithrombotic therapy (single or combined), in whom sepsis-induced coagulopathy is often observed. Balancing the risk of thrombosis and bleeding in these patients and preventing infections with vaccines, if available, are crucial to prevent events or improve outcomes and prognosis.

Abstract
Background The influence of recent influenza infection on perioperative outcomes is not completely understood. Method Using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Data from 2008 to 2013, we conducted a surgical cohort study, which included 20,544 matched patients with a recent history of influenza and 10,272 matched patients without. The main outcomes were postoperative complications and mortality. We calculated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the complications and for mortality in patients with a history of influenza within 1-14 days or 15-30 days compared with non-influenza controls. Results Compared with patients who had no influenza, patients with influenza within preoperative days 1-7 had increased risks of postoperative pneumonia (OR 2.22, 95% CI 1.81-2.73), septicemia (OR 1.98, 95% CI 1.70-2.31), acute renal failure (OR 2.10, 95% CI 1.47-3.00), and urinary tract infection (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.23-1.70). An increased risk of intensive care admission, prolonged length of stay, and higher medical expenditure was noted in patients with history of influenza within 1-14 days. Conclusion We found that there was an association between influenza within 14 days preoperatively and the increased risk of postoperative complications, particularly with the occurrence of influenza within 7 days prior to surgery.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening dysfunction of organ systems caused by a dysregulated immune system because of an infectious process. It remains one of the leading causes of hospital mortality and of hospital readmissions in the United States. Mortality from sepsis increases with each hour of delayed treatment, therefore, diagnostic devices that can reduce the time from the onset of a patient's infection to the delivery of appropriate therapy are urgently needed. Likewise, tools that are capable of high-frequency testing of clinically relevant biomarkers are required to study disease progression. Electrochemical biosensors offer important advantages such as high sensitivity, fast response, miniaturization, and low cost that can be adapted to clinical needs. In this review paper, we discuss the current state, limitations, and future directions of electrochemical-based point-of-care detection platforms that contribute to the diagnosis and monitoring of sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Administration of adequate antibiotics is crucial for better outcomes in sepsis. Because no uniform tool can accurately assess the risk of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, a local antibiogram is necessary. We aimed to describe the antibiogram of MDR bacteria based on locations of sepsis onset in South Korea. METHODS We performed a prospective observational study of adult patients diagnosed with sepsis according to Sepsis-3 from 19 institutions (13 tertiary referral and 6 university-affiliated general hospitals) in South Korea. Patients were divided into four groups based on the respective location of sepsis onset: community, nursing home, long-term-care hospital, and hospital. Along with the antibiogram, risk factors of MDR bacteria and drug-bug match of empirical antibiotics were analyzed. RESULTS MDR bacteria were detected in 1,596 (22.7%) of 7,024 patients with gram-negative predominance. MDR gram-negative bacteria were more commonly detected in long-term-care hospital- (30.4%) and nursing home-acquired (26.3%) sepsis, whereas MDR gram-positive bacteria were more prevalent in hospital-acquired (10.9%) sepsis. Such findings were consistent regardless of the location and tier of hospitals throughout South Korea. Patients with long-term-care hospital-acquired sepsis had the highest risk of MDR pathogen, which was even higher than those with hospital-acquired sepsis (adjusted odds ratio, 1.42; 95% confidence interval, 1.15-1.75) after adjustment of risk factors. The drug-bug match was lowest in patients with long-term-care hospital-acquired sepsis (66.8%). CONCLUSION Gram-negative MDR bacteria were more common in nursing home- and long-term-care hospital-acquired sepsis, whereas gram-positive MDR bacteria were more common in hospital-acquired settings in South Korea. Patients with long-term-care hospital-acquired sepsis had the highest the risk of MDR bacteria but lowest drug-bug match of initial antibiotics. We suggest that initial antibiotics be carefully selected according to the onset location in each patient.

Abstract
Sepsis is identified as a potentially lethal organ impairment triggered by an inadequate host reaction to infection (Sepsis-3). Viral sepsis is a potentially deadly organ impairment state caused by the host's inappropriate reaction to a viral infection. However, when a viral infection occurs, the metabolism of the infected cell undergoes a variety of changes that cause the host to respond to the infection. But, until now, little has been known about the challenges faced by cellular metabolic alterations that occur during viral infection and how these changes modulate infection. This study concentrates on the alterations in glucose metabolism during viral sepsis and their impact on viral infection, with a view to exploring new potential therapeutic targets for viral sepsis.

Abstract
Accurate immunoassays with a good correlation to neutralizing antibodies are required to support SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis, management, vaccine deployment, and epidemiological investigation. We conducted a study to evaluate the performance and correlation of the surrogate virus neutralization test (sVNT) and other commercial immunoassays. We tested 107 sera of COVID-19 confirmed cases from three different time points, 58 confirmed non-COVID-19 sera, and 52 sera collected before the pandemic with two sVNTs, seven chemiluminescent assays, and one fluorescein assay. All assays achieved excellent sensitivity (95%-100%, ≥15 days after onset of illness), specificity (95.5%-100%), and showed moderate to high correlation with GenScript sVNT (r = 0.58 to r = 0.98), except Roche total antibodies (r = 0.48). Vazyme sVNT and Siemens total antibodies showed the highest correlation with GenScript sVNT (r = 0.98 and 0.88, respectively). Median indexes that may be used to estimate sera with the highest ability to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 and ACE-2 receptor attachment (GenScript sVNT inhibition 90%-100%) were 6.9 S/C (Abbott IgG), 161.9 COI (FREND™ IgG), 16.8 AU/ml (Snibe IgG), 40.1 S/CO (Beckman IgG), 281.9 U/ml (Mindray IgG), 712.2 U/ml (Mindray total antibodies), >10 index (Siemens total antibodies), and 95.3% inhibition (Vazyme sVNT). All ten commercial COVID-19 serology assays, with different targeting antigens, demonstrated a reliable performance, supporting the utility of those assays in clinical and research settings. However, further studies using more samples are needed to refine the results of evaluating the performances of these marketed serological assays. Reliable serological assays would be useful for clinicians, researchers and epidemiologists in confirming SARS-CoV-2 infections, observing SARS-CoV-2 transmission, and immune response post infection and vaccination, leading to better management and control of the disease.

We developed A Clinically Oriented antimicrobial Resistance surveillance Network (ACORN) as a lightweight but comprehensive platform, in which we combine clinical data collection with diagnostic stewardship, microbiological data collection and visualisation of the linked clinical-microbiology dataset. Data are compatible with WHO GLASS surveillance and can be stratified by syndrome and other metadata. Summary metrics can be visualised and fed back directly for clinical decision-making and to inform local treatment guidelines and national policy. Methods: An ACORN pilot was implemented in three hospitals in Southeast Asia (1 paediatric, 2 general) to collect clinical and microbiological data from patients with community- or hospital-acquired pneumonia, sepsis, or meningitis. The implementation package included tools to capture site and laboratory capacity information, guidelines on diagnostic stewardship, and a web-based data visualisation and analysis platform. Results: Between December 2019 and October 2020, 2294 patients were enrolled with 2464 discrete infection episodes (1786 community-acquired, 518 healthcare-associated and 160 hospital-acquired). Overall, 28-day mortality was 8.7%. Third generation cephalosporin resistance was identified in 54.2% (39/72) of E. coli and 38.7% (12/31) of K. pneumoniae isolates . Almost a quarter of S. aureus isolates were methicillin resistant (23.0%, 14/61). 290/2464 episodes could be linked to a pathogen, highlighting the level of enrolment required to achieve an acceptable volume of isolate data. However, the combination with clinical metadata allowed for more nuanced interpretation and immediate feedback of results. Conclusions: ACORN was technically feasible to implement and acceptable at site level. With minor changes from lessons learned during the pilot ACORN is now being scaled up and implemented in 15 hospitals in 9 low- and middle-income countries to generate sufficient case-based data to determine incidence, outcomes, and susceptibility of target pathogens among patients with infectious syndromes.

Abstract
AIM Sepsis is an acute illness associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Early detection and time-sensitive management of sepsis has been shown to improve outcomes. We report the results of a scoping review to explore methods evaluated for the identification of sepsis in children presenting to emergency departments. METHODS A systematic literature search was carried out on two databases, Medline and Web of Science, to identify relevant studies published from 1990 to 2022. Data were extracted for age groups including study design, reference standard used for comparison, sepsis identification method evaluated and study quality. RESULTS A total of 89 studies were identified from the literature search. There was significant heterogeneity in the age groups including study design and reference standards used for evaluating the performance of the sepsis identification methods. There has been a substantial increase in the number of published studies in the last 2 years. CONCLUSION Our scoping review identifies marked heterogeneity in approaches to identifying sepsis but demonstrates a recent focus of research on patient outcomes. Using appropriate core outcome sets, developing reference standards, monitoring sepsis prevalence via registries and continuously monitoring process measures will provide robust evidence to identify the best performing identification tools and the impact they have on patient-orientated outcomes.

Abstract
Background: sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by an excessive host immunological response to infection. The incidence of sepsis is increasing every year, and sepsis is the primary cause of mortality in intensive care units (ICUs). DIC is a coagulopathy syndrome that causes microvascular and macrovascular thrombosis and increases the risk of bleeding due to consumptive coagulopathy. The pathophysiology of DIC in sepsis is complex, and further research is required to investigate the involved mechanisms and risk factors. Method: this study is a prognostic analysis of a retrospective cohort. Samples were patients diagnosed with sepsis and admitted to Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital from January 2016 to October 2022. Research subjects were followed until occurrence of DIC during sepsis or recovery from sepsis. The research subjects were selected from medical records using a consecutive total sampling approach. The inclusion criteria were patients aged ≥18 years old and diagnosed with sepsis according to qSOFA criteria with a score of 2. The exclusion criterion was an incomplete medical record. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine which independent variables contributed to the incidence of DIC and obtain the odds ratios (ORs). p < 0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference. Results: a total of 248 patients were included after considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of these, 50 (20.2%) septic patients developed DIC. In the multivariate analysis, albumin ≤2.5 g/dL (OR: 2.363; 95% CI: 1.201−4.649), respiratory infection (OR: 2.414; 95% CI: 1.046−5.571), and antibiotic treatment ≥1 h (OR: 2.181; 95% CI: 1.014−4.689) were associated with DIC development. On the basis of the ROC curve, the area under the curve (AUC) was determined to be 0.705 with 95% CI = (0.631−0.778). Conclusion: in our study, the prevalence of DIC in septic patients was 20.2%. Low albumin, respiratory infection, and antibiotic treatment ≥1 h were found to be risk factors for development of DIC in septic patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are a leading cause of sepsis, which is a life-threatening condition that significantly contributes to the mortality of bacterial infections. Aminoglycoside antibiotics such as gentamicin or amikacin are essential medicines in the treatment of BSIs, but their clinical efficacy is increasingly being compromised by antimicrobial resistance. The aminoglycoside apramycin has demonstrated preclinical efficacy against aminoglycoside-resistant and multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) and is currently in clinical development for the treatment of critical systemic infections. METHODS This study collected a panel of 470 MDR GNB isolates from healthcare facilities in Cambodia, Laos, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam for a multicentre assessment of their antimicrobial susceptibility to apramycin in comparison with other aminoglycosides and colistin by broth microdilution assays. RESULTS Apramycin and amikacin MICs ≤ 16 µg/mL were found for 462 (98.3%) and 408 (86.8%) GNB isolates, respectively. Susceptibility to gentamicin and tobramycin (MIC ≤ 4 µg/mL) was significantly lower at 122 (26.0%) and 101 (21.5%) susceptible isolates, respectively. Of note, all carbapenem and third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacterales, all Acinetobacter baumannii and all Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates tested in this study appeared to be susceptible to apramycin. Of the 65 colistin-resistant isolates tested, four (6.2%) had an apramycin MIC > 16 µg/mL. CONCLUSION Apramycin demonstrated best-in-class activity against a panel of GNB isolates with resistances to other aminoglycosides, carbapenems, third-generation cephalosporins and colistin, warranting continued consideration of apramycin as a drug candidate for the treatment of MDR BSIs.

Abstract
ObjectiveThis study aims to assess the clinical utility of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in sepsis diagnosis.MethodsA prospective study was conducted on patients with a high suspicion of sepsis by unknown pathogens from January 2017 to December 2021. Blood samples were taken from patients to perform NGS, blood culture (BC), leucocyte (WBC), procalcitonin (PCT), creatinine (CREA), Albumin (ALB) and C-reactive protein (CRP) tests.ResultsThe feedback time for BC was 3~5 days for bacteria and 5~7 days for fungi, while the turnover time for NGS was only 24 h. The clinical diagnosis was considered the “gold standard”. 83 patients passed our inclusion criteria and were separated into two groups by clinical diagnosis. 62 met the clinical diagnosis criteria for sepsis and 21 were non-sepsis. The data from the two groups were retrospectively compared and analyzed. Of 62 sepsis in 83 patients, 8(9.64%) were diagnosed by both BC and NGS, 51 (61.45%) by NGS only, 1(1.20%) by BC and 2 (2.41%) by conventional testing only; PCT, CREA, CRP levels and the detection rate of NGS and BC were higher in the sepsis group than in the non-sepsis group, while ALB levels were lower (p<0.05). The logistic regression results in our study revealed that NGS and ALB were independent prediction factors for sepsis (p<0.05), the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity of NGS for diagnosing sepsis was 0.857, 95.16% and 76.19%, while ALB was 0.728, 58.06%, 80.95%, respectively. The combination’s sensitivity, specificity and AUC of NGS and ALB were 93.55%, 85.71% and 0.935, greater than that of Albumin or NGS only (both p<0.05).ConclusionNGS can effectively and quickly identify pathogens, thereby emerges as a promising technology for sepsis diagnosis. Combination of NGS and ALB can be used for early screening and is more powerful than NGS or ALB only.

Abstract
Background Simple, bedside prediction of infection-related mortality in low-resource settings is crucial for triage and resource-utilisation decisions. We aimed to evaluate mortality prediction by combining point-of-care venous lactate with the quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score in adult patients admitted to hospital with suspected infection in southeast Asia. Methods We performed a cohort study by prospectively enrolling patients aged 18 years or older who had been admitted to hospital within the previous 24 h for suspected infection (with at least three documented systemic manifestations of infection according to the 2012 Surviving Sepsis Campaign) at Sunpasitthiprasong Hospital in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand (derivation cohort). Venous lactate concentration was determined by a point-of-care device and multiple scores were developed. We then evaluated candidate 28-day mortality prediction models combining qSOFA and the lactate scores. A final model was compared with the qSOFA score, a lactate score, and a modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score for mortality discrimination using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Mortality discrimination of the qSOFA-lactate score was then verified in an external, prospectively enrolled, multinational cohort in southeast Asia. Findings Between March 1, 2013, and Jan 26, 2017, 5001 patients were enrolled in the derivation cohort; 4980 had point-of-care lactate data available and were eligible for analysis, and 816 died within 28 days of enrolment. The discrimination for 28-day mortality prediction of a qSOFA-lactate score combining the qSOFA score and a lactate score was superior to that of the qSOFA score alone (AUROC 0·78 [95% CI 0·76–0·80] vs 0·68 [0·67–0·70]; p<0·0001) and similar to a modified SOFA score (0·77 [0·75–0·78]; p=0·088). A lactate score alone had superior discrimination compared with the qSOFA score (AUROC 0·76 [95% CI 0.74–0.78]; p<0·0001). 815 patients were enrolled in the external validation cohort and 792 had point-of-care lactate data and were included in the analysis; the qSOFA-lactate score (AUROC 0·77 [95% CI 0·73–0·82]) showed significantly improved 28-day mortality discrimination compared with the qSOFA score alone (0·69 [0·63–0·74]; p<0·0001). Interpretation In southeast Asia, rapid, bedside assessments based on point-of-care lactate concentration combined with the qSOFA score can identify patients at risk of sepsis-related mortality with greater accuracy than the qSOFA score alone, and with similar accuracy to a modified SOFA score.

Abstract
Introduction. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) that can facilitate the diagnosis of a panel of tropical infectious diseases are critically needed. DPP® Fever Panel II Asia is a multiplex lateral flow immunoassay comprising antigen and IgM panels for the diagnosis of pathogens that commonly cause febrile illness in Southeast Asia.Hypothesis/Gap Statement. Accuracy of DPP® Fever Panel II Asia has not been evaluated in clinical studies.Aim. To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of DPP® Fever Panel II Asia for malaria, dengue and melioidosis.Methodology. We conducted a cohort-based case-control study. Both cases and controls were derived from a prospective observational study of patients presenting with community-acquired infections and sepsis in northeast Thailand (Ubon sepsis). We included 143 and 98 patients diagnosed with malaria or dengue based on a positive PCR assay and 177 patients with melioidosis based on a culture positive for Burkholderia pseudomallei. Controls included 200 patients who were blood culture-positive for Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae, and cases of the other diseases. Serum samples collected from all patients within 24 h of admission were stored and tested using the DPP® Fever Panel II Asia antigen and IgM multiplex assays. We selected cutoff values for each individual assay corresponding to a specificity of ≥95 %. When assessing diagnostic tests in combination, results were considered positive if either individual test was positive.Results. Within the DPP® Fever Panel II Asia antigen assay, a combination of pLDH and HRPII for malaria had a sensitivity of 91 % and a specificity of 97 %. The combination of dengue NS1 antigen and dengue antibody tests had a sensitivity of 61 % and a specificity of 91 %. The B. pseudomallei CPS antigen test had a sensitivity of 27 % and a specificity of 97 %. An odds ratio of 2.34 (95 % CI 1.16-4.72, P=0.02) was observed for the association between CPS positivity and mortality among melioidosis patients.Conclusion. The performance of the DPP® Fever Panel II Asia for diagnosis of malaria was high and that for dengue and melioidosis was relatively limited. For all three diseases, performance was comparable to that of other established RDTs. The potential operational advantages of a multiplex and quantitative point-of-care assay are substantial and warrant further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the association of pathogen type with mortality, functional status, and health-related quality of life (HRQL) among children at hospital discharge/1 month following hospitalization for septic shock. DESIGN Secondary database analysis of a prospective, descriptive cohort investigation. SETTING Twelve academic PICUs in the United States. PATIENTS Critically ill children, 1 month to 18 years old, enrolled from 2013 to 2017. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Association of clinical outcomes with pathogen type was assessed for all patients and separately for surviving patients enrolled in the primary Life After Pediatric Sepsis Evaluation (LAPSE) investigation. For this secondary analysis, we predicted that age would be associated with pathogen type and outcomes, and accordingly, it was incorporated as a confounding variable in primary analyses. Among 389 children enrolled with septic shock, at 1 month/hospital discharge, we observed no statistically significant differences in relation to pathogen types for the composite outcome mortality or substantial new functional morbidity: no causative organism identified (27% [28/103]), pure viral infections (26% [24/91]), pure bacterial/fungal infections (25% [31/125]), and bacterial/fungal+viral coinfections (33% [23/70]). Similarly, we observed no statistically significant differences in relation to pathogen types for the composite outcome, mortality, or persistent serious deterioration of HRQL: no causative organism identified (43% [44/103]), pure viral infections (33% [30/91]), pure bacterial/fungal infections (46% [57/125]), and bacterial/fungal+viral coinfections (43% [30/70]). However, we did identify statistically significant associations between pathogen type and the outcome ventilator-free days ( p = 0.0083) and PICU-free days (0.0238). CONCLUSIONS This secondary analysis of the LAPSE database identified no statistically significant association of pathogen type with composite mortality and morbidity outcomes. However, pathogen type may be associated with PICU resources employed to treat sepsis organ dysfunction. Ultimately, pediatric septic shock was frequently associated with adverse patient-centered, clinically meaningful outcomes regardless of infectious disease pathogen type.

Abstract
Acute undifferentiated febrile illness (AUFI) is the presenting symptom of various tropical and infectious diseases. Viral infection is generally the most common cause of AUFI, accounting for 8–11.8% of cases; thus, antibiotics might be unnecessary. Dengue and malaria are common tropical infectious diseases requiring effective supportive treatment and antimalarial agents, respectively. The uncertainty of early diagnosis results in widespread empirical antimicrobial treatment in high -income as well as in low-and middle-income countries. Although rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have been shown to limit antibiotic prescriptions in dengue and malaria, we observed a wide range of antibiotic prescriptions for 13–92.7% of cases in previous literature, particularly in RDT-negative malaria cases. Given several RDT limitations, antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) appears to be an effective strategy for controlling unnecessary antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) prevention. This program should be endorsed by a multidisciplinary team in tropical diseases to control collateral damage of inappropriate antimicrobial use. Empirical antibiotic treatment should be administered based on clinical judgement, microbiological evidence, and local epidemiological data. Rapid termination of antibiotic therapy, including disease control or elimination, is the mainstay of AMS in tropical diseases. Local and international sectors should implement an AMS programme to reduce AMR in the Tropics.

Abstract
Enteric fever is caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi A, B, and C. While S. Typhi remains the primary causative agent of enteric fever, S. Paratyphi A is responsible for an increasing portion of enteric fever incidence. However, the current available vaccines for enteric fever are all developed from S. Typhi, and lack adequate cross immune protection against paratyphoid fever A. Therefore, paratyphoid A vaccines are urgently needed. The present paper reviews the latest progresses in pathogenesis, global burden, infection features of paratyphoid fever A, as well as the status of vaccine development, highlighting the necessity for the development of vaccines against paratyphoid fever A.

Abstract
Bloodstream infections (BSIs) and subsequent organ dysfunction (sepsis and septic shock) are conditions that rank among the top reasons for human mortality and have a great impact on healthcare systems. Their treatment mainly relies on the administration of broad-spectrum antimicrobials since the standard blood culture-based diagnostic methods remain time-consuming for the pathogen's identification. Consequently, the routine use of these antibiotics may lead to downstream antimicrobial resistance and failure in treatment outcomes. Recently, significant advances have been made in improving several methodologies for the identification of pathogens directly in whole blood especially regarding specificity and time to detection. Nevertheless, for the widespread implementation of these novel methods in healthcare facilities, further improvements are still needed concerning the sensitivity and cost-effectiveness to allow a faster and more appropriate antimicrobial therapy. This review is focused on the problem of BSIs and sepsis addressing several aspects like their origin, challenges, and causative agents. Also, it highlights current and emerging diagnostics technologies, discussing their strengths and weaknesses.

Abstract
Data specific to the epidemiology and burden of sepsis in low- and middle-income countries are limited. This study aimed to determine the epidemiology and burden of adult patients with sepsis at Siriraj Hospital during 2019. Randomly selected adult patients who had blood cultures performed at our center during January−December 2019 were enrolled. A Quick Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score was used to determine the presence of sepsis. Demographic data and clinical outcome data were collected, and the annual incidence of sepsis or septic shock and death was estimated. Of the 987 subjects who had blood cultures performed, 798 had infections, 341 had sepsis, and 104 had septic shock. The prevalence of sepsis or septic shock was 34.9% among blood cultured patients, and 42.7% among those with infections. The prevalence of septic shock was 30.5% among subjects with sepsis. Approximately 63% of sepsis subjects were hospital-acquired infections. The factors independently associated with 28-day mortality in sepsis were receiving an immunosuppressive agent (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.37, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.27−4.45; p = 0.007), septic shock (aOR: 2.88, 95% CI: 1.71−4.87; p < 0.001), and proven infection (aOR: 2.88, 95% CI: 1.55−5.36; p = 0.001). Receiving appropriate, definitive antibiotic therapy (ABT) was independently associated with lower mortality in sepsis (aOR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.27−0.93; p = 0.028) and septic shock subjects (aOR: 0.21, 95% CI: 0.06−0.72; p = 0.013). Achievement of mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥ 65 mmHg (aOR: 0.09, 95% CI: 0.01−0.77; p = 0.028) and urine output ≥ 0.5 mL/kg/h (aOR: 0.15, 95% CI: 0.04−0.51; p = 0.006) were independently associated with lower mortality in septic shock patients. The incidence and mortality of sepsis remains high. Appropriate choice of definitive ABT and achievement of MAP and urine output goals may lower mortality in patients with sepsis or septic shock.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that causes a global health burden associated with high mortality and morbidity. Often life-threatening, sepsis can be caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi. Sepsis management primarily focuses on source control and early broad-spectrum antibiotics, plus organ function support. Comprehensive changes in the way we manage sepsis patients include early identification, infective focus identification and immediate treatment with antimicrobial therapy, appropriate supportive care and hemodynamic optimization. Despite all efforts of clinical and experimental research over thirty years, the capacity to positively influence the outcome of the disease remains limited. This can be due to limited studies available on sepsis in developing countries, especially in Southeast Asia. This review summarizes the progress made in the diagnosis and time associated with sepsis, colistin resistance and chloramphenicol boon, antibiotic abuse, resource constraints and association of sepsis with COVID-19 in Southeast Asia. A personalized approach and innovative therapeutic alternatives such as CytoSorb® are highlighted as potential options for the treatment of patients with sepsis in Southeast Asia.

Abstract
Community-acquired bacterial bloodstream infections are caused by diverse pathogens with changing antimicrobial-resistance patterns. In low-middle income countries in Southeast Asia, where dengue fever is endemic and a leading cause of fever, limited information is available about bacterial bloodstream infections due to challenges of implementing a blood culture service. This study describes bacterial bloodstream pathogens and antimicrobial-resistance patterns in Metro Manila, the Philippines. We aimed to identify the proportion of patients with a positive blood culture, the bacteria isolated and their antimicrobial resistance patterns, and the clinical characteristics of these patients, in this dengue endemic area. We conducted a prospective observational study in a single hospital enrolling febrile patients clinically suspected of having a community-acquired bacterial bloodstream infection between 1st July 2015 and 30th June 2019. Each patient had a blood culture and additional diagnostic tests according to their clinical presentation. We enrolled 1315 patients and a significant positive blood culture was found in 77 (5.9%) including Staphylococcus aureus (n = 20), Salmonella enterica Typhi (n = 18), Escherichia coli (n = 16), Streptococcus pneumoniae (n = 3) and Burkholderia pseudomallei (n = 2). Thirty-four patients had meningococcal disease diagnosed by culture (n = 8) or blood PCR (n = 26). Additional confirmed diagnoses included leptospirosis (n = 177), dengue virus infection (n = 159) and respiratory diphtheria (n = 50). There were 79 (6.0%, 95%CI 4.8%−7.4%) patients who died within 28 days of enrollment. Patients with a positive blood culture were significantly more likely to die than patients with negative culture (15.2% vs 4.4%, P<0.01). Among S. aureus isolates, 11/20 (55%) were methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and ST30: USA1100 was dominant sequence type (88.9%). Antimicrobial-susceptibility was well preserved in S. enterica Typhi. Among hospitalized patients with clinically suspected community-acquired bacterial bloodstream infection in Metro Manila, the Philippines, 5.9% had a blood culture confirmed infection of whom 15.6% died. S. aureus, including a significant number of MRSA (USA1100 clones), S. enterica Typhi, E.coli and Neisseria meningitidis were frequently identified pathogens.

Abstract
Purpose To clarify the distribution of pathogenic bacteria by analyzing the bacterial susceptibility characteristics and risk factors for adult sepsis in The Wenzhou city, Zhejiang province, China, and to aid early diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis prediction in cases of bacterial sepsis. Patients and Methods We retrospectively analyzed 329 patients with sepsis admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between January 2018 and March 2021. Laboratory data were collected before and after treatment; moreover, the bacterial susceptibility characteristics and risk factors for sepsis were comprehensively analyzed using the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score. Results The SOFA score was negatively correlated with the prognosis (P < 0.05). We isolated 47 pathogenic strains from blood culture samples, including 29 gram-positive strains, 18 gram-negative strains. The most common gram-negative pathogens in blood cultures are Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, while the most common gram-positive pathogens are Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus hominis. Gram-negative pathogens had resistance rates of 77% and 62.5% to ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone, respectively. Gram-positive bacteria had a high resistance to penicillin at 100%. Prognostic factors for sepsis included patients’ consciousness, SOFA score, prothrombin time, international normalized ratio, fibrinogen, D-dimer, and aspartate aminotransferase (P < 0.05). Of these, the D-dimer level could predict the outcome of patients with sepsis (AUC = 0.661, P < 0.05). Conclusion The pathogens detected in adult sepsis in Wenzhou are mainly Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus hominis. The pathogens exhibited differences in drug susceptibility. The optimal antibiotics should be chosen based on the principles of rational use and drug susceptibility. Combined with D-dimer levels, these parameters can be used to determine the optimal strategy for preventing and treating pathogenic bacteria.

The medical records of patients included in the hospital Pediatric Sepsis Protocol and patients with discharge ICD-10 A41.9 (sepsis, unspecified), R57 (shock) and A39 (meningococcal meningitis) were evaluated. Results A total of 399 patients were included. The prevalence of sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock at the emergency room were 0.41%, 0.14% and 0.014%, respectively. The median age was 21.5 months for sepsis, 12 months for severe sepsis, and 20.5 months for septic shock. Sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock were more often associated with respiratory diseases. The Respiratory Syncytial Virus was the most common agent. The median time to antibiotic and fluid administration was 3 hours in patients with sepsis and severe sepsis. In patients with septic shock, the median times to administer antibiotics, fluid and vasoactive drugs were 2 hours, 2.5 hours and 6 hours, respectively. The median length of hospital stay for patients with sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock were 3 days, 4 days and 1 day, respectively. The overall mortality was 2%. Conclusion Sepsis had a low prevalence. Early diagnosis and recognition are a challenge for the emergency care pediatrician, the first place of admission.

Abstract
Background The high rate of infections among patients admitted to critical care units (CCUs) is associated with high rate of antibiotic consumption, especially broad-spectrum antibiotics. This study is to describe the antibiotics use in CCUs in primary and secondary hospitals in Vietnam, a setting with high burden of antibiotic resistance. Methods This was a 7-day observational study in 51 CCUs in hospitals from 5 provinces in Vietnam from March to July 2019. Patients aged ≥ 18 years admitted to the participating CCUs was enrolled consecutively. We collected data on patient's demographics, initial diagnosis and antibiotic therapy within the first 24 hours. Antibiotic therapy was classified by the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Index and the 2019 WHO Access, Watch, Reserve (AWaRe) groups. Findings Out of 1747 enrolled patients, empirical antibiotic treatments were initiated in 1112 (63.6%) patients. The most frequently prescribed antibiotics were cefotaxime (22.3%), levofloxacin (19%) and ceftazidime (10.8%). Antibiotics were given in 31.5% of patients without diagnosis of infection. Watch and/or Reserve group antibiotic were given in 87.3% of patients and associated with patient's age (aOR 1.01 per 1-year increment, 95%CI 1.00-1.02) and the presence of SIRS on admission (aOR 2.1, 95%CI 1.38-3.2). Interpretation We observed a high frequency use and a substantial variation in patterns of empirical antibiotic use in the CCUs in Vietnam. It highlights the importance of continuous monitoring antibiotic consumption in CCUs.

Abstract
Introduction Patients with chikungunya virus infection commonly present with fever, skin rash, and severe joint pain. The vesiculobullous rash is rare in adults but common in infants. In addition, septic shock and acute respiratory distress syndrome are rare complications of atypical and severe acute chikungunya infection. Case presentation We report the presence of an 18-year-old Thai female, at 31 weeks gestation, with fever, maculopapular rash, and polyarthritis. The rash later progressed to a vesiculobullous pattern, and she developed septic shock and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Skin biopsy and blood were positive for chikungunya virus RNA. The patient was intubated with a mechanical ventilator and subsequently fully recovered. Conclusion Atypical skin manifestation and severe acute disease is likely due to immune response attenuation in pregnancy. The possibility of progression to severe or atypical disease in pregnant women suffering chikungunya should always be considered.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a major alteration in the medical literature including the sepsis discussion. From the outset of the pandemic, various reports have indicated that although there are some unique features pertinent to COVID-19, many of its acute manifestations are similar to sepsis caused by other pathogens. As a consequence, the old definitions now require consideration of this new etiologic agent, namely SARS-CoV-2. Although the pathogenesis of COVID-19 has not been fully explained, the data obtained so far in hospitalized patients has revealed that serum cytokine and chemokine levels are high in severe COVID-19 patients, similar to those found with sepsis. COVID-19 may involve multiple organ systems. In addition to the lungs, the virus has been isolated from blood, urine, faeces, liver, and gallbladder. Results from autopsy series in COVID-19 patients have demonstrated a wide range of findings, including vascular involvement, congestion, consolidation, and hemorrhage as well as diffuse alveolar damage in lung tissue consistent with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The presence of viral cytopathic-like changes, infiltration of inflammatory cells (mononuclear cells and macrophages), and viral particles in histopathological samples are considered a consequence of both direct viral infection and immune hyperactivation. Thromboembolism and hyper-coagulopathy are other components in the pathogenesis of severe COVID-19. Although the pathogenesis of hypercoagulability is not fully understood, it has been pointed out that all three components of Virchow’s triad (endothelial injury, stasis, and hypercoagulable state) play a major role in contributing to clot formation in severe COVID-19 infection. In severe COVID-19 cases, laboratory parameters such as hematological findings, coagulation tests, liver function tests, D-dimer, ferritin, and acute phase reactants such as CRP show marked alterations, which are suggestive of a cytokine storm. Another key element of COVID-19 pathogenesis in severe cases is its similarity or association with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). SARS-CoV-2 induced cytokine storm has significant clinical and laboratory findings overlapping with HLH. Viral sepsis has some similarities but also some differences when compared to bacterial sepsis. In bacterial sepsis, systemic inflammation affecting multiple organs is more dominant than in COVID-19 sepsis. While bacterial sepsis causes an early and sudden onset clinical deterioration, viral diseases may exhibit a relatively late onset and chronic course. Consideration of severe COVID-19 disease as a sepsis syndrome has relevance and may assist in terms of determining treatments that will modulate the immune response, limit intrinsic damage to tissue and organs, and potentially improve outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Primary data regarding sepsis patients in Indonesia, especially in Denpasar, are still limited in number in reporting. The lack of information about sepsis made the authors interested in conducting this study.
AIM: The aim of the study was to obtain more in-depth information about the profile of sepsis patients treated in Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a cross-sectional descriptive research. Target population in this study are data on patient registers that are included in the inclusion criteria from June 1, 2019 to June 30, 2021, at intensive care unit Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar. The variables in this study included: Demographic conditions such as age, gender, and address, qSOFA score, comorbidities, ventilator, and patient’s outcome (survival or non-survival).
RESULTS: A total samples were 173 patients. The average age of patients in this study was 54 years old with 56.6% male and 32.9% lived in Denpasar. Patients suspected of having early sepsis had a qSOFA 0 score of 35.3%, qSOFA 1 was 33.5%, qSOFA 2 was 23.7%, and qSOFA 3 was 7.5%. Patients with sepsis and suspected sepsis with comorbidities were 96% and 79.8% of patients were on a ventilator. The mortality rate in this study was 67.1%.
CONCLUSION: These primary data hopefully become references for the future research.

Abstract
AIM There is limited evidence on the diagnostic accuracy of a quick Sequential [Sepsis-Related] Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) sepsis screening (SS) tool in developing nation health settings. The aim of this study was to test the diagnostic accuracy of a qSOFA-based SS tool, and the predictive validity of the qSOFA score in hospital ward patients from Argentina. METHODS Prospective observational study. Patients (≥18 years, without sepsis) were recruited within 24-48 hours of admission to a 169-bed tertiary referral private hospital in Buenos Aires. The index test was the qSOFA-based SS tool, and the reference standard sepsis diagnosed at discharge blindly evaluated with reference to the Sepsis-3. RESULTS In 1151 patients (median age 69.9 [IQR, 29.0]); 47 (4.1%) had sepsis, 413 (35.9%) had infection and 691 (60.0%) other diagnoses at discharge. The qSOFA-based SS tool (index test) had moderate sensitivity (60%), good specificity (89%), a very low positive (19%) and very high negative (98%) predictive value for sepsis diagnosed at discharge according to the Sepsis-3 criteria (reference standard). For the same outcome, the qSOFA score in isolation had a reasonable predictive validity area under receiver operating characteristics curve 0.77 (95% CI 0.70-0.83) P < 0.001. CONCLUSION The qSOFA score could reasonably discriminate patients at risk of developing sepsis; qSOFA-based screening may be valuable where no screening criteria are in place.

Abstract
Purpose To describe meropenem empirical use, susceptibility trend, and associated factors for acquired nonsusceptibility in P. aeruginosa in the intensive care unit. Patients and Methods This study was conducted in the intensive and high care unit of a tertiary care hospital in Indonesia to evaluate empirical meropenem bolus administration protocol. All patients admitted during the 3 year study period from January 2018 through January 2021 with culture-confirmed P. aeruginosa infection were included in the study. Primary data were collected from hospital database electronic medical record and series of local biannual report of microorganism susceptibility pattern. Results The data suggested that there was increasing trend in meropenem nonsusceptibility and multidrug-resistance rates. A total of 135 patients with various primary diagnoses and comorbidities were studied. P. aeruginosa isolates were mostly (73.4%) obtained from sputum specimen. Empirical meropenem therapy was administrated in 24.4% of patients with standard- and high-dose as indicated. Nonsusceptibility was acquired in 37% patients who mostly received empirical therapy. Multivariable analysis revealed protocol being evaluated as a statistically significant risk factor for nonsusceptibility in P. aeruginosa (PR = 30.65; p <0.001). Conclusion Empirical meropenem administration protocol in this study was an independent determinant of nonsusceptibility acquisition in P. aeruginosa. These findings proved that empirical therapeutic strategy modification is indispensable and routine evaluation practice should be promulgated.

Abstract
Systemic inflammation elicited by sepsis can induce an acute cerebral dysfunction known as sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE). Recent evidence suggests that SAE is common but shows a dynamic trajectory over time. Half of all patients with sepsis develop SAE in the intensive care unit, and some survivors present with sustained cognitive impairments for several years after initial sepsis onset. It is not clear why some, but not all, patients develop SAE and also the factors that determine the persistence of SAE. Here, we first summarize the chronic pathology and the dynamic changes in cognitive functions seen after the onset of sepsis. We then outline the cerebral effects of sepsis, such as neuroinflammation, alterations in neuronal synapses and neurovascular changes. We discuss the key factors that might contribute to the development and persistence of SAE in older patients, including premorbid neurodegenerative pathology, side effects of sedatives, renal dysfunction and latent virus reactivation. Finally, we postulate that some of the mechanisms that underpin neuropathology in SAE may also be relevant to delirium and persisting cognitive impairments that are seen in patients with severe COVID-19. In this Review, Manabe and Heneka examine how the systemic inflammation associated with sepsis can lead to acute cerebral dysfunction known as sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE). Moreover, they suggest that some of the mechanisms involved in SAE may be relevant for understanding the cognitive impairments that develop in some patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Sepsis is a leading cause of death worldwide. Groundbreaking international collaborative efforts have culminated in the widely accepted surviving sepsis guidelines, with iterative improvements in management strategies and definitions providing important advances in care for patients. Key to the diagnosis of sepsis is identification of infection, and whilst the diagnostic criteria for sepsis is now clear, the diagnosis of infection remains a challenge and there is often discordance between clinician assessments for infection. Recent Findings We review the utility of common biochemical, microbiological and radiological tools employed by clinicians to diagnose infection and explore the difficulty of making a diagnosis of infection in severe inflammatory states through illustrative case reports. Finally, we discuss some of the novel and emerging approaches in diagnosis of infection and sepsis. Summary While prompt diagnosis and treatment of sepsis is essential to improve outcomes in sepsis, there remains no single tool to reliably identify or exclude infection. This contributes to unnecessary antimicrobial use that is harmful to individuals and populations. There is therefore a pressing need for novel solutions. Machine learning approaches using multiple diagnostic and clinical inputs may offer a potential solution but as yet these approaches remain experimental.

Abstract
Background Asia has more critically ill people than any other part of our planet. The aim of this article is to review the development of critical care as a specialty, critical care societies and education and research, the epidemiology of critical illness as well as epidemics and pandemics, accessibility and cost and quality of critical care, culture and end-of-life care, and future directions for critical care in Asia.
Main body Although the first Asian intensive care units (ICUs) surfaced in the 1960s and the 1970s and specialisation started in the 1990s, multiple challenges still exist, including the lack of intensivists, critical care nurses, and respiratory therapists in many countries. This is aggravated by the brain drain of skilled ICU staff to high-income countries. Critical care societies have been integral to the development of the discipline and have increasingly contributed to critical care education, although critical care research is only just starting to take off through collaboration across groups. Sepsis, increasingly aggravated by multidrug resistance, contributes to a significant burden of critical illness, while epidemics and pandemics continue to haunt the continent intermittently. In particular, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has highlighted the central role of critical care in pandemic response. Accessibility to critical care is affected by lack of ICU beds and high costs, and quality of critical care is affected by limited capability for investigations and treatment in low- and middle-income countries. Meanwhile, there are clear cultural differences across countries, with considerable variations in end-of-life care. Demand for critical care will rise across the continent due to ageing populations and rising comorbidity burdens. Even as countries respond by increasing critical care capacity, the critical care community must continue to focus on training for ICU healthcare workers, processes anchored on evidence-based medicine, technology guided by feasibility and impact, research applicable to Asian and local settings, and rallying of governments for support for the specialty.
Conclusions Critical care in Asia has progressed through the years, but multiple challenges remain. These challenges should be addressed through a collaborative approach across disciplines, ICUs, hospitals, societies, governments, and countries.

Abstract
Sepsis is the most common cause of in-hospital deaths, especially from low-income and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aimed to investigate the mortality rate and associated factors from sepsis in intensive care units (ICUs) in an LMIC. We did a multicenter cross-sectional study of septic patients presenting to 15 adult ICUs throughout Vietnam on the 4 days representing the different seasons of 2019. Of 252 patients, 40.1% died in hospital and 33.3% died in ICU. ICUs with accredited training programs (odds ratio, OR: 0.309; 95% confidence interval, CI 0.122-0.783) and completion of the 3-h sepsis bundle (OR: 0.294; 95% CI 0.083-1.048) were associated with decreased hospital mortality. ICUs with intensivist-to-patient ratio of 1:6 to 8 (OR: 4.533; 95% CI 1.621-12.677), mechanical ventilation (OR: 3.890; 95% CI 1.445-10.474) and renal replacement therapy (OR: 2.816; 95% CI 1.318-6.016) were associated with increased ICU mortality, in contrast to non-surgical source control (OR: 0.292; 95% CI 0.126-0.678) which was associated with decreased ICU mortality. Improvements are needed in the management of sepsis in Vietnam such as increasing resources in critical care settings, making accredited training programs more available, improving compliance with sepsis bundles of care, and treating underlying illness and shock optimally in septic patients.

Abstract
Background To describe factors associated with severe sepsis in diarrheal adults and their outcomes and offender in blood and stool to understand their interplay as clinical features of sepsis and severe diarrhea often overlap. Methods and results We used this retrospective chart analysis employing an unmatched case-control design to study critically ill diarrheal adults aged ≥18 years treated in ICU of Dhaka hospital, icddr,b between January 2011 to December 2015. Of 8,863 in-patient diarrheal adults, 350 having severe sepsis were cases and an equal number of randomly selected non-septic patients were the controls. Cases died significantly more (14.9% vs 4.6%, p = <0.001) than controls. 69% of the cases progressed to septic shock. In logistic regression analysis, steroid intake, ileus, acute kidney injury (AKI), metabolic acidosis, and hypocalcemia were significantly associated with severe sepsis in diarrheal adults (all, p<0.05). 12% of cases (40/335) had bacteremia. Streptococcus pneumoniae [9 (22.5%)] was the single most common pathogen and gram-negatives [27 (67.5%)] were prevailing as a group. Conclusion Diarrheal adults who had ileus, AKI, metabolic acidosis, hypocalcemia, and also took steroids were found to have an association with severe sepsis. Strikingly, gram-negative were the predominant bacteria among the diarrheal adults having severe sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood stream infections (BSI) caused by Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) producing Enterobacteriaceae is a clinical challenge leading to high mortality, especially in developing countries. In this study, we sought to describe the epidemiology of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli strains isolated from Vietnamese individuals with BSI, to investigate the concordance of genotypic-phenotypic resistance, and clinical outcome of ESBL E. coli BSI. METHODS A total of 459 hospitalized patients with BSI were screened between October 2014 and May 2016. 115 E. coli strains from 115 BSI patients were isolated and tested for antibiotic resistance using the VITEK®2 system. The ESBL phenotype was determined by double disk diffusion method following the guideline of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Screening for beta-lactamase (ESBL and carbapenemase) genes was performed using a multiplex-PCR assay. RESULTS 58% (67/115) of the E. coli strains were ESBL-producers and all were susceptible to both imipenem and meropenem. Resistance to third-generation cephalosporin was common, 70% (81/115) were cefotaxime-resistant and 45% (52/115) were ceftazidime-resistant. blaCTX-M was the most common ESBL gene detected (70%; 80/115) The sensitivity and specificity of blaCTX-M-detection to predict the ESBL phenotype was 87% (76-93% 95% CI) and 54% (39-48% 95% CI), respectively. 28%% (22/80) of blaCTX-M were classified as non-ESBL producers by phenotypic testing for ESBL production. The detection of blaCTX-M in ESBL-negative E. coli BSI was associated with fatal clinical outcome (27%; 6/22 versus 8%; 2/26, p = 0.07). CONCLUSION A high prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli isolates harbouring blaCTX-M was observed in BSI patients in Vietnam. The genotypic detection of blaCTX-M may have added benefit in optimizing and guiding empirical antibiotic therapy of E. coli BSI to improve clinical outcome.

Abstract
The Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2020 (J-SSCG 2020), a Japanese-specific set of clinical practice guidelines for sepsis and septic shock created as revised from J-SSCG 2016 jointly by the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine, was first released in September 2020 and published in February 2021. An English-language version of these guidelines was created based on the contents of the original Japanese-language version. The purpose of this guideline is to assist medical staff in making appropriate decisions to improve the prognosis of patients undergoing treatment for sepsis and septic shock. We aimed to provide high-quality guidelines that are easy to use and understand for specialists, general clinicians, and multidisciplinary medical professionals. J-SSCG 2016 took up new subjects that were not present in SSCG 2016 (e.g., ICU-acquired weakness [ICU-AW], post-intensive care syndrome [PICS], and body temperature management). The J-SSCG 2020 covered a total of 22 areas with four additional new areas (patient- and family-centered care, sepsis treatment system, neuro-intensive treatment, and stress ulcers). A total of 118 important clinical issues (clinical questions, CQs) were extracted regardless of the presence or absence of evidence. These CQs also include those that have been given particular focus within Japan. This is a large-scale guideline covering multiple fields; thus, in addition to the 25 committee members, we had the participation and support of a total of 226 members who are professionals (physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, clinical engineers, and pharmacists) and medical workers with a history of sepsis or critical illness. The GRADE method was adopted for making recommendations, and the modified Delphi method was used to determine recommendations by voting from all committee members.As a result, 79 GRADE-based recommendations, 5 Good Practice Statements (GPS), 18 expert consensuses, 27 answers to background questions (BQs), and summaries of definitions and diagnosis of sepsis were created as responses to 118 CQs. We also incorporated visual information for each CQ according to the time course of treatment, and we will also distribute this as an app. The J-SSCG 2020 is expected to be widely used as a useful bedside guideline in the field of sepsis treatment both in Japan and overseas involving multiple disciplines.

Abstract
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii, CRAb) is an emerging global threat for healthcare systems, particularly in Southeast Asia. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology was employed to map genes associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and to identify multilocus sequence types (MLST). Eleven strains isolated from humans in Vietnam were sequenced, and their AMR genes and MLST were compared to published genomes of strains originating from Southeast Asia, i.e., Thailand (n = 49), Myanmar (n = 38), Malaysia (n = 11), Singapore (n = 4) and Taiwan (n = 1). Ten out of eleven Vietnamese strains were CRAb and were susceptible only to colistin. All strains harbored ant(3")-IIa, armA, aph(6)-Id and aph(3") genes conferring resistance to aminoglycosides, and blaOXA-51 variants and blaADC-25 conferring resistance to ß-lactams. More than half of the strains harbored genes that confer resistance to tetracyclines, sulfonamides and macrolides. The strains showed high diversity, where six were assigned to sequence type (ST)/2, and two were allocated to two new STs (ST/1411-1412). MLST analyses of 108 strains from Southeast Asia identified 19 sequence types (ST), and ST/2 was the most prevalent found in 62 strains. A broad range of AMR genes was identified mediating resistance to ß-lactams, including cephalosporins and carbapenems (e.g., blaOXA-51-like, blaOXA-23, blaADC-25, blaADC-73, blaTEM-1, blaNDM-1), aminoglycosides (e.g., ant(3")-IIa, aph(3")-Ib, aph(6)-Id, armA and aph(3')-Ia), phenicoles (e.g., catB8), tetracyclines (e.g., tet.B and tet.39), sulfonamides (e.g., sul.1 and sul.2), macrolides and lincosamide (e.g., mph.E, msr.E and abaF). MLST and core genome MLST (cgMLST) showed an extreme diversity among the strains. Several strains isolated from different countries clustered together by cgMLST; however, different clusters shared the same ST. Developing an action plan on AMR, increasing awareness and prohibiting the selling of antibiotics without prescription must be mandatory for this region. Such efforts are critical for enforcing targeted policies on the rational use of carbapenem compounds and controlling AMR dissemination and emergence in general.
