The attributable fraction of respiratory syncytial virus among patients of different ages with influenza-like illness an...
...
The detection of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in upper airway samples does not necessarily infer causality of illness. We aimed to calculate the attributable fraction (AF) of RSV in clinical syndromes across age groups. Using unconditional logistic regression models, we estimated the AF of RSV-associated influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe...
A comparative study on epidemiological characteristics, transmissibility, and pathogenicity of three COVID-19 outbreaks ...
...
The Omicron BA.2 variant is probably the main epidemic strain worldwide at present. Comparing the epidemiological characteristics, transmissibility, and influencing factors of SARS-CoV-2, the results obtained in this paper will help to provide theoretical support for disease control. This study was a historical information analysis, using the R pro...
Prostration and the prognosis of death in African children with severe malaria.
...
Malaria is still one of the main reasons for hospitalization in children living in sub-Saharan Africa. Rapid risk stratification at admission is essential for optimal medical care and improved prognosis. Whereas coma, deep breathing, and, to a lesser degree, severe anemia are established predictors of malaria-related death, the value of assessing p...
Detection of Leishmania (Mundinia) macropodum (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) and heterologous Leishmania species ant...
The Australian Leishmania (Mundinia) macropodum parasite causes cutaneous leishmaniasis among marsupial species. Although cutaneous leishmaniasis is a major public health burden worldwide, it is not clear if humans are naturally exposed to the unique L. macropodum. To assess whether humans have an immunoglobulin (Ig) G response to L. macropodum, we...

Characteristics and Clinical Effectiveness of COVID-19 Vaccination in Hospitalized Patients in Omicron-dominated Epidemi...
...
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was severe in the Delta variant-dominated epidemic wave (fifth wave) in Japan. The clinical characteristics and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination are not fully understood in the Omicron variant-dominated wave (sixth and seventh waves), especially in hospitalized patients. We investigated the relationship between v...
Vaccine effectiveness of primary and booster COVID-19 vaccinations against SARS-CoV-2 infection in the Netherlands from ...
...
We estimated VE of primary and booster vaccinations, against SARS-CoV-2 infection overall, and in four risk groups defined by age and medical risk condition, in the Delta and Omicron BA.1/BA.2 periods. VASCO is an ongoing prospective cohort study among Dutch adults. The primary endpoint was a self-reported positive SARS-CoV-2 test during 12 July 20...
Peri-papillary Ischemia as a Potential Screening Biomarker for Early Detection of Tick-borne Infection.
The objective of this study was to determine whether an observed peri-papillary ischemia is a potential biomarker of tick-borne infection (TI). An experimental design analyzing the optic nerve to demonstrate peri-papillary ischemia and vessel density changes through ocular coherence tomography with angiography (OCT-A) in subjects with TI. Glaucoma ...
