Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis to prioritize hospital admission of patients affected by COVID-19 in low-resource settings with hospital-bed shortagePasquale De Nardo, Elisa Gentilotti, Fulvia Mazzaferri, Eleonora Cremonini, Paul Hansen, Herman Goossens, Evelina Tacconelli, the members of the COVID-19MCDA GroupDOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijid.2020.06.082International Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 98, p494 500Open Access Viral Kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 over the preclinical, clinical, and postclinical periodSukbin Jang, Ji-Young Rhee, Yu Mi Wi, Bo Kyeung JungDOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijid.2020.10.099Publication stage: In Press Journal Pre-ProofInternational Journal of Infectious DiseasesOpen AccessPreviewFull-Text HTMLPDFxCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which started in Wuhan in December 2019, has spread worldwide. As of 20 May 2020, the newly emerged severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (genus Betacoronavirus, family Coronaviridae) has been reported in 227 countries with more than 4,789,205 confirmed cases and 318,789 deaths. [1] Contact screening and extensive testing are proposed methods of blocking the transmission of infectious diseases during pandemics.A CHILD WITH ACUTE MYELOID LEUKAEMIA COMPLICATED BY CALCANEAL OSTEOMYELITIS DUE TO MYCOBACTERIUM ABSCESSUS INFECTION AFTER INDUCTION CHEMOTHERAPY SUCCESSFULLY SALVAGED WITH BEDAQUILINE AND CLOFAZIMINEWilson Yau-Ki Chan, Pak-Leung Ho, Kelvin Kai-Wang To, Albert Ying-Lee Lam, Kenneth Wai-Yip Ho, Tak-Wing Lau, Noah Lok-Wah So, Shau-Yin HaDOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijid.2020.10.102Publication stage: In Press Journal Pre-ProofInternational Journal of Infectious DiseasesOpen AccessPreviewFull-Text HTMLPDFxTimeline of events from initiation of chemotherapy treatment to time of publication #1 Course 1 induction chemotherapy (MEC) with mitoxantrone 25 mg/m2, etoposide 750 mg/m2 and cytarabine 2800 mg/m2 administered. #2Course 2 induction chemotherapy (ADxE) with cytarabine 1400 mg/m2, daunorubicin 180 mg/m2 and etoposide 450 mg/m2 administered. #3Oral 6-TG 120 mg/m2 daily was given for total of 18 days (intended for total of 28 days in 4-week cycle), IV cytarabine 75 mg/m2 daily was given on Days 1-4 and Days 15-18 of 4-weekly cycle (total 8 doses given then withheld due to infection).Arginine Depletion as a Therapeutic Approach for Patients with COVID-19Joseph M. Grimes, Shaheer Khan, Mark Badeaux, Ravi M. Rao, Scott W. Rowlinson, Richard D. CarvajalDOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijid.2020.10.100Publication stage: In Press Journal Pre-ProofInternational Journal of Infectious DiseasesOpen AccessPreviewFull-Text HTMLPDFSupplemental MaterialsxThe COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is a tremendous burden on healthcare systems and a risk to both lives and livelihoods around the globe. Many clinical trials are underway, with current strategies focusing on directly disrupting viral machinery, such as with the RNA-polymerase inhibitor remdesivir, or modulating the intensity of the immune response, such as with the anti-cytokine antibodies tocilizumab and sarilumab. Manipulation of the host-virus relationship to disrupt the viral lifecycle represents a novel therapeutic strategy.The benefits and safety of oral sequential antibiotic therapy in non-complicated and complicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremiaM Teresa Pérez-Rodríguez, Adrián Sousa, Antonio Moreno-Flores, Rebeca Longueira, Patricia Diéguez, Milagros Suárez, Olalla Lima, Francisco J Vasallo, Maximiliano Álvarez-Fernández, Manuel CrespoDOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijid.2020.10.097Publication stage: In Press Journal Pre-ProofInternational Journal of Infectious DiseasesOpen AccessPreviewFull-Text HTMLPDFxStaphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is one of the main infections of concern due to its high morbidity and mortality. In recent years, a number of studies have shown that proper management can help improve these patients’ prognoses (Bai et al., 2015; Goto et al., 2017; López-Cortés et al., 2013; Pérez-Rodríguez et al., 2019; Smith et al., 2018). The current clinical guidelines for treating this infection recommend intravenous treatment to reduce mortality and complications (e.g., septic embolism, recurrence) (Gudiol et al., 2015; Liu et al., 2011; Nathwani et al., 2008).COVID-19 hospital outbreaks: Protecting healthcare workers to protect frail patients. An Italian observational cohort studyLuigi Vimercati, Luigi De Maria, Marco Quarato, Antonio Caputi, Pasquale Stefanizzi, Loreto Gesualdo, Giovanni Migliore, Fulvio Italo Maria Fucilli, Domenica Cavone, Maria Celeste Delfino, Stefania Sponselli, Maria Chironna, Silvio TafuriDOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijid.2020.10.098Publication stage: In Press Journal Pre-ProofInternational Journal of Infectious DiseasesOpen AccessPreviewFull-Text HTMLPDFxAs May 20, 2020, a high severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection rate among healthcare workers (HCWs) was described: among them, 26657 were infected, corresponding to 11.7% of all Italian cases. In this regard, almost 80% worked in the hospital setting or in an extra-hospital emergency system (ISS 2020). The One Health concept recognizes that the health of people is closely linked to the health of animals and the environment. The One Health approach encourages the collaborative efforts of the human health, veterinary health, and environmental health communities working locally, nationally, and globally, to achieve optimal health for people, animals, and our environment. The One Health concept has become more important in recent years because many factors such as population growth, globalization of commerce, finance, production, and services, environmental changes such as climate change and deforestation, ever-increasing movement of people, animals, plants, food, and feed have altered the interactions among humans, animals, and the environment. These changes have caused the emergence and re-emergence of many diseases.The World Health Organization (WHO), the Food Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the European Union all support the adoption of the One Health approach to respond to emerging infectious diseases and outbreaks. Without a One Health approach to understanding all the inter-related factors affecting transmission and spread of emerging infectious diseases, prevention, management and elimination will remain beyond our reach.Since its inception in 1994, ISID's Program on Monitoring Emerging Infectious Diseases (ProMED) has advocated the One Health concept by covering emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases and toxic exposures of interest to the plant, animal, and human health sectors. The ”One Health 2017” Virtual Special Issue will include content published in the Journal aligned to the One Health concept. read articles here ITP following vaccinationPaula David, Yehuda ShoenfeldDOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijid.2020.07.085Vol. 99Open AccessPreviewFull-Text HTMLPDFxImmune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder in which autoantibodies inhibit platelet production and impair the circulating ones, leading to thrombocytopenia and, consequently, mucocutaneous and even major bleeding. It is most commonly idiopathic, but it can also be found secondary to other conditions, such as infections (Cines et al., 2009). Most recently it has also been described following different types of vaccination.Phylogenetic dating analysis of HTLV-1 from Chile suggests transmissions events related to ancient migrations and contemporary expansionLouise Zanella, Ismael Riquelme, Maria Elena Reyes, María José Tapia, Soledad Reyes, Bárbara Mora, Tamara Viscarra, Juan Carlos Roa, Carmen Ili, Priscilla BrebiDOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijid.2020.07.037Vol. 99Open AccessPreviewFull-Text HTMLPDFxHuman T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1aA) introduction and dispersion has occurred several times in Chile. HTLV-1aA was possibly introduced in Chile: (i) during ancient human migrations and (ii) during/after the European colonization of South America. Pre-Columbian lineages of HTLV-1aA remain circulating in Chile.Translation of genomic epidemiology of infectious pathogens: Enhancing African genomics hubs for outbreaksMary Aigbiremo Oboh, Semeeh Akinwale Omoleke, Olumide Ajibola, Jarra Manneh, Abdoulie Kanteh, Abdul-Karim Sesay, Alfred Amambua-NgwaDOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijid.2020.08.027Vol. 99Open AccessPreviewFull-Text HTMLPDFxThe novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a viral outbreak caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), first arose in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, and it was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 30, 2020 (WHO, 2020b). Seven months into the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of cumulative cases continues to steadily increase. As of August 3, 2020, 17,660,523 cases had been detected, with 680,894 total deaths globally. Africa has borne 4.5% of global morbidity and 2.0% of fatalities (WHO, 2020a).
