Eating Disorder Spotlight: Stories, Providers & ResourcesARFID: Kickback: Trauma, Depression & PanicARFID Recovery can uncover a larger mental health story! Alina Whitehouse had several years of recovery after the onset of ARFID symptoms but soon discovered that ARFID was merely a cover for deeply rooted trauma that seeped out as panic and depression.

くつ王レディオMSSA血流感染症の治療戦略を問う：ダプトマイシン併用は本当に有効か？DASH試験が示す意外な真実 CIDAdjunctive Daptomycin in the Treatment of Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia: A Randomized, Controlled TrialCitationClinical Infectious Diseases, 2021; 72(9): e196–e203概要カナダ・モントリオールの2施設で、成人MSSA菌血症患者を対象に、標準治療（抗ブドウ球菌βラクタム：クロキサシリンまたはセファゾリン）に加え、5日間のダプトマイシン補助投与が有効かを検証した無作為化二重盲検プラセボ対照試験（DASH試験）。対象・方法登録患者104例（中央値67歳、34.6％女性）。主評価項目：菌血症持続期間（日数）。副次評価項目：90日死亡率、再発率、塞栓/転移性感染、腎毒性・肝毒性・横紋筋融解症発症率。結果全解析集団（ITT）での菌血症持続期間中央値はダプトマイシン群2.04日、プラセボ群1.65日で差はなし（P=0.40）。90日死亡率はダプトマイシン群18.9％、プラセボ群17.7％で有意差なし。再発率、塞栓・転移性感染発生率にも差はなかった。有害事象発生率は両群で同等で、重篤な薬剤関連有害事象はなし。結論MSSA菌血症における標準βラクタム療法へのダプトマイシン併用は、菌血症持続期間や死亡率、再発率を改善せず、 routine での使用は推奨されない。

2025-09-051h 07くつ王レディオレビュー：難攻不落の「黄色ブドウ球菌」 免疫回避から治療の未来まで徹底究明！ Nature Reviews MicrobiologyMethicillin-resistant and susceptible Staphylococcus aureus: tolerance, immune evasion and treatmentCitationNat Rev Microbiol. 2025; doi:10.1038/s41579-025-01226-2概要本総説は、メチシリン耐性黄色ブドウ球菌（MRSA）およびメチシリン感受性黄色ブドウ球菌（MSSA）の感染に関する最新の理解をまとめ、特に薬剤耐性に加えて「トレランス」「免疫回避」といった病態形成因子に焦点を当て、治療戦略の展望を論じている。1. 耐性とトレランス従来、ブドウ球菌感染症の難治化は主に薬剤耐性に帰せられてきた。しかし近年、殺菌的抗菌薬に曝露しても死滅せず休眠状態で生き残る「トレランス」や「パーシスター細胞」の役割が注目されている。これらは遺伝的耐性とは異なり、臨床的再燃や慢性感染の背景因子となる。2. 免疫回避機構S. aureus は多様な毒素や表面タンパクを介して宿主免疫から逃避する。代表的な機序として、補体や好中球による食作用阻害、免疫修飾タンパク質（Protein A, SCINなど）による抗体応答の回避が挙げられる。また、バイオフィルム形成は抗菌薬浸透を妨げるとともに、局所免疫応答を抑制する。これらの戦略はMSSA、MRSAに共通してみられる。3. 臨床像と治療の課題黄色ブドウ球菌は皮膚軟部組織感染から菌血症・心内膜炎に至る幅広い感染症を引き起こす。MRSAは依然として世界的に重要な院内感染起因菌であり、MSSAも同等に高い罹患率と死亡率をもたらしている。治療はβ-ラクタム系（MSSA）やバンコマイシン・リネゾリド・ダプトマイシン（MRSA）が用いられるが、トレランスやバイオフィルム感染では治療失敗が多い。近年は併用療法（例：ダプトマイシン＋β-ラクタム）が有効とする報告があり、殺菌活性の増強が試みられている。4. 新規治療戦略抗菌薬の最適化に加え、免疫療法や抗毒素抗体、ファージ療法、免疫賦活薬などの開発が進められている。また、耐性だけでなく「トレランス」を標的とする薬剤候補の探索も始まっており、慢性再発性感染の克服につながる可能性がある。結論S. aureus 感染の難治化は耐性菌出現のみならず、トレランスや免疫回避の複合要因により説明される。これらの理解を統合し、抗菌薬治療・免疫調節療法・新規アプローチを組み合わせることが、将来の治療成績改善に不可欠である。
