Coinfection of SARS-CoV-2 with other respiratory pathogens in outpatients from Ecuador.

Worldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has enormously impacted healthcare systems, especially in low and middle-income countries. Coinfections with respiratory pathogens in COVID-19 patients may contribute to worse outcomes. This study identified the presence of 12 viral coinfections and pneumococcal carriers among individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection in outpatient and community settings in Ecuador. From January 2020 to November 2021, 215 nasopharyngeal and nasal swabs were taken from individuals who reported symptoms of COVID-19 or had known exposure to someone with confirmed …

Mpox and Chicken Pox Coinfection Complicated by Acute Urinary Retention: A Case Report.

INTRODUCTION: Mpox and Chicken pox have similar presentations, sometimes causing a diagnostic dilemma. Reports have emerged of coinfections, mostly in the central African region. CASE REPORT: Index patient is a 23-year-old female who presented with a 2-week history of exanthematous vesiculopustular rashes which started from her genital and groin area with accompanying vulvar swelling. It was then followed by other similar rashes involving mainly her face and limbs with some on her trunk. There was also an associated high grade continuous fever. Rashes were painful and itchy with associated ce…

Adenovirus 36 Coinfection in People Living with HIV and its Impact on Lipohypertrophy.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have implicated human adenovirus 36 (Adv36) as a potential contributor to overweight and obesity. People living with HIV have an altered body composition compared to healthy individuals. There is still no evidence to confirm the relationship of Adv36 as one of the causes of lipohypertrophy. The main objective of this study was to verify the viral Adv36 infection as a factor associated with the presence of lipohypertrophy in HIV-infected individuals. METHODS: A case-control study on people with HIV treated at a specialized public health service in southern Brazil.

CONTEXT: Underlying chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection increases the risk of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) when receiving tuberculosis therapies. Prevalence of HBV and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) coinfection is not well reported and no studies have evaluated testing patterns for and prevalence of HBV-LTBI coinfection in the United States. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate patterns of HBV and LTBI testing and prevalence of HBV-LTBI coinfection in the United States. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Quest Diagnostics clinical laboratory data, 2014-2020. PATIENTS: Chronic H…

Endoplasmic Stress Affects the Coinfection of Leishmania Amazonensis and the Phlebovirus (Bunyaviridae) Icoaraci.

Viral coinfections can modulate the severity of parasitic diseases, such as human cutaneous leishmaniasis. Leishmania parasites infect thousands of people worldwide and cause from single cutaneous self-healing lesions to massive mucosal destructive lesions. The transmission to vertebrates requires the bite of Phlebotomine sandflies, which can also transmit Phlebovirus. We have demonstrated that Leishmania infection requires and triggers the Endoplasmic stress (ER stress) response in infected macrophages. In the present paper, we tested the hypothesis that ER stress is increased and required fo…

Reassessment of Evidence about Coinfection of Chickenpox and Monkeypox (Mpox) in African Children.

In west and central Africa, monkeypox occurs mainly in older children, adolescents and young adults. In two large epidemiology studies of monkeypox outbreaks, the investigators observed a sizable number of coinfections of chickenpox (varicella) and monkeypox. Based on a review of the literature, we propose that chickenpox (human herpesvirus-3 infection) is a risk factor for acquisition of monkeypox infection. Our hypothesis states that the chickenpox skin lesion provides an entry site for the monkeypox virus, which is harbored on a fomite in the environment of the patient. The fact that monkey…

BACKGROUND: The risk of possible cross-reactions between serological tests, together with the clinical similarities between dengue fever and … eceived intensive care. Seven patients tested positive on the RID tests, comprising 2 NS1 positive (coinfection), one reactive for IgM and IgG (coinfection), three reactive for IgM not confirmed (false-positive), and one reactive for IgG due to previous infection. Two of the 3 patients with coinfection died. Fever, myalgia, headache, and cough were the most c …

Совпадение хламидиотрахоматиса не влияет на гениталий Mycoplasma, бактериальную нагрузку в врожденных образцах.

Микоплазма гениталий (MG) связан с уретритом у мужчин и слабо связан с воспалительным тазом у женщин. Как правило, сообщается о микоплазменных гениталиях с помощью Neisseria gonorreaeae (NG) и Chlamidia trachomatis (CT), однако о их взаимодействии мало что известно. В одном из исследований было высказано предположение о том, что примеси MG/NG могут увеличить бактериальную нагрузку ПГ, которая, как было установлено, обладает более высокой способностью к передаче. Поскольку еще меньше известно о воздействии одновременной инфекции MG/CT, мы провели оценку того, имеют ли пациенты с врожденными мик

Mycoplasma genitalium coinfections with Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) are commonly reported; however, little is known about their interaction. One study suggested that MG/NG coinfections migh…

COVID-19 and Pneumocystis jirovecii Pulmonary Coinfection-The First Case Confirmed through Autopsy.

Background: Establishing the diagnosis of COVID-19 and Pneumocystisjirovecii pulmonary coinfection is difficult due to clinical and radiological similarities that exist between the two disorders. For the moment, fungal coinfections are underestimated in COVID-19 patients. Case presentation: We report the case of a 52-year-old male patient, who presented to the emergency department for severe dyspnea and died 17 h later. The RT-PCR test performed at his admission was negative for SARS-CoV-2. Retesting of lung fragments collected during autopsy revealed a positive result for SARS-CoV-2. Histopat…

Helminth Coinfection Alters Monocyte Activation, Polarization, and Function in Latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection.

Helminth infections are known to influence T and B cell responses in latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Whether helminth infections also modulate monocyte responses in helminth-LTBI coinfection has not been fully explored. To this end, we examined the activation, polarization, and function of human monocytes isolated from individuals with LTBI with (n = 25) or without (n = 25) coincident Strongyloides stercoralis infection (S. stercoralis-positive and S. stercoralis-negative respectively). Our data reveal that the presence of S. stercoralis infection is associated with lower frequencies of …

Human Papillomavirus Coinfection in the Cervical Intraepithelial Lesions and Cancer of Mexican Patients.

According to their oncogenic properties, Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs) are classified into two types: Low-Risk (LR-HPVs) and High-Risk Human Papillomaviruses (HR-HPVs). The immune system naturally controls the majority of HPV infections; however, when the HR-HPV infection is persistent, the risk of developing cervical cancer increases. Previous studies indicate that multiple-infection or coinfection with HR-HPV occurs frequently and can potentiate the development of cervical lesions. This study aimed to establish the HPV coinfection rate in squamous intraepithelial lesions from Mexican patient…

COVID-19 with dengue shock syndrome in a child: coinfection or cross-reactivity?

COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has spread globally. Coinfection with other endemic viruses is likely to complicate the clinical presentation and outcome. Information on clinical manifestations and management strategies on COVID-19 coinfection with endemic diseases in children is yet to evolve. The risk of dengue infection exists in 129 countries and it is endemic in more than 100 countries. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic might overlap with the dengue epidemics in tropical countries. We report the first paediatric case to the best of our knowledge of COVID-19 encephalitis with dengue shock syndrome. …

Encephalitis with coinfection by Jamestown canyon virus (JCV) and varicella zoster virus (VZV).

We present the case of a 59-year-old Midwestern farmer who presented with altered mental status, dysarthria, urinary incontinence, and a rig … sive care unit. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of encephalitis associated with coinfection by VZV and JCV. While the relative contributions of these viral pathogens to the patient's illness are difficult to ascertain, the clinical features of this case are consistent with co-pathogenesis, possibly driven by antecedent corticosteroid use. …

Survival model analysis of tuberculosis treatment among patients with human immunodeficiency virus coinfection.

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection is the highest clinical epidemiology and public health issue. Despite many programs established to tackle the epidemic, TB target controls have not been reached. One of the many factors attributed to the failure in TB treatment is HIV coinfection. The aim of this study is to assess the survival rate of HIV infection among TB patients and the risk factors of death among the TB patients with HIV coinfection during the retro of directly observed treatment, short-course (DOTS) program. METHODS: This study is a retro…

Metagenomic analysis of mycobacterial transrenal DNA in patients with HIV and tuberculosis coinfection.

The existence of "transrenal" DNA (tr-DNA), i.e. cell-free DNA that has distributed through the renal barrier to the urine, was first shown from a pathogen in 2000 (Botezatu et al., 2000). However, a targeted search for tr-DNA from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT) started relatively recently (Cannas et al., 2008; Green et al., 2009). While other MBT cellular components found in the urine, e.g. lipoarabinomannan, have been used as an enhanced diagnostic tool, tr-DNA has the potential for strain specific identification or a more persistent biomarker during treatment of active disease. We therefo

Лечение хронического гепатита, вызванного гепатитом В и гепатитом дельта-заражением.

По оценкам, 20-40 млн. человек во всем мире инфицированы вирусом гепатита дельты (HDV), главным образом быстро меняющейся болезнью печени. Терапия хронической ВИЧ-инфекции по-прежнему является неудовлетворенной потребностью. На сегодняшний день рекомендуется использовать только интерферонную терапию (IFN) для лечения ВИЧ-инфекции, и показатели ответов являются неудовлетворительными; кроме того, многие пациенты нетерпимы к лечению IFN или не имеют права на такое лечение. В последние годы разрабатываются новаторские подходы, в том числе следующие: борьба с проникновением вируса в гепатотоциты; и
