Incidence of lung and HPV-associated malignancies in HIV-infected patients

OBJECTIVE: Cancers represent one of the leading cause of mortality/morbidity in patients living with HIV (PLHIV) in industrialized countries. The objective of our study was to compare incidence of lung and HPV-related cancers among PLHIV with general population over the 2010-2017 period.Design: Prospective and multicenter cohort study. METHODS: The study included patients with lung and HPV-related cancers from the ANRS CO3 Aquitaine cohort (PLHIV) and the general population-based cancer registry in Gironde area. We calculated incidence rates (IR) for 100,000 Person Year (PY) and Incidence Rate Ratios (IRR). RESULTS: Among the 3,572 PLHIV, 70 cancers were diagnosed in 68 patients including 35 lung and 35 HPV-related cancers (18 oropharyngeal, 11 anal, 6 cervix). IR of lung and HPV-related-cancers were 311.1 in PLHIV and 209.8 in general population for 100,000 PY, respectively. IRR were significantly increased in PLHIV for lung 1.8 [1.4; 2.2] and HPV-related cancer 1.3 [1.0; 1.6] and particularly high for patients between 40-49 years-old (IRR 4.4 [2.3; 8.4] for lung cancer and 3.7 [2.1; 6.5] for HPV-related cancer). CONCLUSIONS: We emphasized the persistent high risk of lung and HPV-related cancer despite advent of antiretroviral therapies, particularly in the age strata of 40-49 years. Screening procedures should take into account this finding

Staphylococcus capitis isolated from bloodstream infections: a nationwide 3-month survey in 38 neonatal intensive care units

International audienceTo increase the knowledge about S. capitis in the neonatal setting, we conducted a nationwide 3-month survey in 38 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) covering 56.6% of French NICU beds. We demonstrated 14.2% of S. capitis BSI (S.capBSI) among nosocomial BSIs. S.capBSI incidence rate was 0.59 per 1000 patient-days. A total of 55.0% of the S.capBSIs were late onset catheter-related BSIs. The S. capitis strains infected preterm babies (median gestational age 26 weeks, median birth weight 855 g). They were resistant to methicillin and aminoglycosides and belonged to the NRCS-A clone. Evolution was favorable in all but one case, following vancomycin treatment
