Varicella can have a severe course in immunosuppressed patients. Although prevention is fundamental, live-attenuated varicella-zoster (VZV) vaccine not currently recommended transplant recipients. Our aims were to (1) evaluate VZV immunity pediatric liver (LT) recipients; (2) immunize (two doses) seronegative patients post-LT; (3) monitor safety, (4) assess B and T cell responses. All followed at the Swiss National Pediatric LT Center approached 77/79 (97.5%) enrolled (median age 7.8 years)....
Live-attenuated vaccines are currently contraindicated in solid-organ transplant recipients. However, the risk of vaccine-preventable infections is lifelong, and can be particularly severe after transplantation. In this prospective interventional national cohort study, 44 pediatric liver recipients with measles IgG antibodies <150 IU/L (below seroprotection threshold) received measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) at a median 6.3 years posttransplantation (interquartile range, 4.0 to 10.9). A...
Abstract Routine screening of patients at risk hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has become a priority given recent improvements in therapeutic options and the asymptomatic nature most chronic infections. The aim this study was to evaluate performance Elecsys® Anti‐HCV II assay, new qualitative antibody immunoassay, compared with currently available assays, assess its suitability for routine diagnostic testing. sensitivity II, ARCHITECT® Anti‐HCV, AxSYM® HCV 3.0, PRISM® HCV, Vitros® ECi...
Chickenpox is a highly contagious vaccine-preventable disease that can lead to severe complications, especially in immunocompromised patients. Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) vaccine appears be safe and immunogenic pediatric solid organ transplant recipients, but there are few data on the long-term vaccine-induced seroprotection.In this prospective interventional study, we offered 2 doses of VZV all eligible nonseroprotected children seen 1 year after liver transplant. Vaccine responses were...
The breeding colony of free-ranging rhesus macaques was established in 1938 Cayo Santiago (CS) with animals collected northern India. seroprevalence to cercopithecine herpesvirus type 1 (B virus) and simian retroviruses has been studied previously.This is the first report on seropositivity different viruses using samples shortly after removing (n = 245) from CS. All were negative for measles, immunodeficiency virus D retroviruses. overall prevalence antibodies around 50% T-lymphotropic I...
Background: The detection of microcystins in blood, respiratory mucosa, and urine samples to diagnose acute or chronic microcystin intoxication is difficult requires sophis-ticated analysis techniques. Finding simple quick methods assess the exposure indi-viduals crucial. Objective: This study aims presence specific antibodies (IgG, IgE, IgA, IgM) against microcystin-LR individuals exposed cyanobacterial blooms as a non-com-plex biomarker. Methods: Blood were taken reveal well measure...
A significant proportion of children with seizures present status epilepticus (SE), early in their disease. Our objective was to evaluate whether <i>SCN1A</i> variants predispose SE, outside Dravet's syndrome. analyses were performed aged 1 month 16 years at least one episode (group A), and short only B). Clinical genetic findings compared between both groups. Total 99 included: 61 group A, 38 B. found 2 (3.3%) patients 3 (7.9%) seizures. The difference groups −4.6% (95% CI −18 5.1), not...
One of the main current environmental problems is high rate species extinctions associated with human activities. In a context limited resources for biodiversity conservation, setting conservation priorities therefore necessary. Hence, this study aims at prioritising most interesting and areas water beetles in Autonomous Region Castilla-La Mancha (C-LM), evaluating to which extent these are represented within Natura 2000 network. Hydraena madronensis Castro, García & Ferreras, 2000,...
