Conclusions The patient was confirmed to have SFTSV-infected encephalitis and died rapidly. The SFTSV strain was of Chinese local origin, and tick bites were the most likely route of infection.Introduction Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a natural epidemic disease caused by SFTS...
The onset of disability is associated with worsened mortality1 and substantial increases in medical costs over subsequent years,2 including a disproportionate strain on Medicaid and Medicare. Both cognitive and physical disability impose yet further burdens on families and informal caregivers.3 Irreversible...
BackgroundSevere Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) became a global epidemic in 2003. Comprehensive information on 1-year outcomes and health care
explained, “After delivery, you may think that you can jump back to normal life. However, this time in your life is full of adjustments with a newborn as well as it’s a time to recover from the childbirth. It’s impor...
Background Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging global infectious disease with a high mortality rate. Clinicians lack a convenient tool for early identification of critically ill SFTS patients. The aim of this study was to construct a simple and accurate nomogarm to pre...
SARS infected 8,000 people. With more than 4 million — and more every day — infected by the coronavirus, the long-term damage to health could strain social safety nets and health-care infrastructures for years to come as well as have implications for economies and companies. ...
This strain can be used to explore the pathogenic mechanism and host inheritance-related to SARS-CoV-2. It also provides a convenient tool for evaluating COVID-19 vaccines and antiviral drugs. In addition to ACE2, the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is an important factor in host ...
T-cell responses were determined by intracellular IFN-g staining at various time points after the onset of clinical symptoms, as indicated. Background IFN-g þ from 'no virus' controls has been subtracted. Microneutralizing antibodies were determined by pseudovirus-based neutralization assay. versus...
falciparum laboratory strain 3D7 was compared across frozen and fresh RBCs (n = 6 frozen and n = 14 non-Dantu, 12 Dantu-heterozygote and 12 Dantu-homozygote fresh biologically independent RBC samples per genotype group). The percentage of parasitized RBCs that successfully invaded each genotype ...
Background While the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic was spreading worldwide, with more than 130 million people infected by April 2021 and a death toll of more than 2.7 million people, children accounted for only a small fraction (~0.2%) of infected patie...
