For bacterial pink eye, antibiotics are prescribed to help clear the infection more quickly. But it's possible for the condition to persist or return. Pink eye, or conjunctivitis, is a common eye condition with many causes, including viruses and bacteria. It causes itchy, watery eyes, redness, and discharge. Pink eye caused by an infection with bacteria is known as bacterial conjunctivitis. If you have this type of pink eye, a doctor or healthcare professional may prescribe antibiotic eye drops or ointments. The medication typically starts working within 24 hours . Even without antibiotics, a mild case of bacterial pink eye almost always improves within 10 days . But it's possible for the infection to return after treatment. Read on to learn the reasons why bacterial pink eye could return, what symptoms to look out for, and how to avoid reinfecting yourself. What can cause pink eye to persist or return after antibiotics use? Most of the time, pink eye goes away within a few day...

1. Interleukin-23 inhibitors had a lower risk of developing paradoxical eczema when treated for plaque psoriasis compared to TNF inhibitors, IL-17 inhibitors and IL-12/23 2. Clinical features associated with increased paradoxical eczema risks included increasing age, history of atopic dermatitis, and history of hay fever. The risk was also lower in males. Evidence Rating Level: 1 (Excellent) Study Rundown: Biologics targeting tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and various interleukins effectively treat plaque psoriasis but are linked to adverse events such as paradoxical psoriasis, cutaneous lupus, and granulomatous disorders. Reports have also shown the development of paradoxical eczema during biological exposure. However, it needs to be clarified whether the risk of developing eczema varies across clinical features and different classes of biologics. Therefore, this prospective study evaluated three primary outcomes: (1) the incidence of paradoxical eczema as a whole and specific to b...

Cellulitis treatment usually includes oral antibiotics used to kill the bacteria causing the skin infection. Most cellulitis symptoms will decrease after three to five days with most infections clearing up in about 10 days. The signs that cellulitis is healing include: Swelling decreases Pain lessens Redness fades Skin becomes less sensitive This article will review the different stages of healing and what to do if antibiotics don't work.  Illustration by Michela Buttignol for Verywell Health Brief Overview of Cellulitis Infection Cellulitis is a skin infection caused by bacteria that enter through a cut, bite, or other type of wound, or through cracked, dry skin. It's most often caused by group A Streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Cellulitis is usually red, swollen, painful, and warm to the touch. People with weakened immune systems, venous insufficiency, lymphedema, poor healing from chronic...

In the most general of terms, pneumonia is an infection in the lungs caused by inflammation of the air sacs, known technically as alveoli. Those alveoli fill up with fluid or pus, which leads to symptomslike coughing, fever, and chills. But pneumonia can be much more complicated than that—it can be caused by different things (a virus, bacteria, or fungus), acquired in different environments (in the community or at the hospital), and can even differ in how much the infection affects the lungs. Multifocal pneumonia narrows the diagnosis down a little more to how much of the lung is affected. Essentially, multifocal pneumonia is a term that's used to describe pneumonia in different spots of the lung, Raymond Casciari, MD, a pulmonologist and chief medical officer at St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, Calif., told Health . "Multifocal could be two spots in the same lobe or two spots in different lobes," Casciari said. Getty Images To better understand w...

Abstract Nipah virus (NiV) is a highly lethal zoonotic paramyxovirus that poses a severe threat to humans due to its high morbidity and the lack of viable countermeasures. Vaccines are the most crucial defense against NiV infections. Here, a recombinant chimpanzee adenovirus-based vaccine (AdC68-G) and a DNA vaccine (DNA-G) were developed by expressing the codon-optimized full-length glycoprotein (G) of NiV. Strong and sustained neutralizing antibody production, accompanied by an effective T-cell response, was induced in BALB/c mice by intranasal or intramuscular administration of one or two doses of AdC68-G, as well as by priming with DNA-G and boosting with intramuscularly administered AdC68-G. Importantly, the neutralizing antibody titers were maintained for up to 68 weeks in the mice that received intramuscularly administered AdC68-G and the prime DNA-G/boost AdC68-G regimen, without a significant decline. Additionally, Syrian golden hamsters immunized with AdC68-G and DNA-G via ho...

Tinea versicolor treatment can include topical over-the-counter (OTC) anti-fungal medications and prescription anti-fungal creams and oral medications. Typically, the condition won't lead to serious issues if untreated. Tinea versicolor medication can help improve the patches of discolored skin and symptoms like itching. Tinea versicolor is a yeast-like fungal infection of the skin. It is also known as pityriasis versicolor. The condition is neither contagious nor dangerous, but it can be persistent, recurring, and bothersome. Some people may need to use a tinea versicolor treatment every month to keep it at bay. This article discusses types of tinea versicolor treatments, including home remedies, and when each is used. Verywell / JR Bee What Is Tinea Versicolor? Tinea versicolor is a common fungal skin condition caused by yeast-like fungi called Malassezia . It's called "versicolor" because the yeast produces a lightening ...
