As of October 11, 2022, a total 26,577 monkeypox cases had been reported in the United States.* Although most are self-limited, lesions that involve anatomically vulnerable sites can cause complications. Ocular occur when Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is introduced into eye (e.g., from autoinoculation), potentially causing conjunctivitis, blepharitis, keratitis, and loss vision (1). This report describes five patients who acquired ocular during July-September 2022. All received treatment with...
Tinea is a common, highly contagious, superficial infection of the skin, hair, or nails caused by dermatophyte molds.*During past decade, an epidemic severe, antifungalresistant tinea has emerged in South Asia because rapid spread Trichophyton indotineae, † novel species; likely been driven misuse and overuse topical antifungals corticosteroids § (1,2).T. indotineae infections are transmissible characterized widespread, inflamed, pruritic plaques on body (tinea corporis), crural fold, pubic...
As of March 7, 2023, a total 30,235 confirmed and probable monkeypox (mpox) cases were reported in the United States,† predominantly among cisgender men§ who recent sexual contact with another man (1). Although most mpox during current outbreak have been self-limited, severe illness death (2-4). During May 10, 2022-March 38 deaths persons or mpox¶ (1.3 per 1,000 cases) to CDC classified as mpox-associated (i.e., was listed contributing causal factor). Among deaths, 94.7% occurred men (median...
We describe a case of tinea genitalis in an immunocompetent woman Pennsylvania, USA. Infection was caused by Trichophyton indotineae potentially acquired through sexual contact. The fungus resistant to terbinafine (first-line antifungal) but improved with itraconazole. Clinicians should be aware T. as potential cause antifungal-resistant genital lesions.
During June 2021, the highly transmissible† B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant of SARS-CoV-2, virus that causes COVID-19, became predominant circulating strain in United States. U.S. pediatric COVID-19-related hospitalizations increased during July-August 2021 following emergence Delta and peaked September 2021.§ As May 12, CDC recommended COVID-19 vaccinations for persons aged ≥12 years,¶ on November 2, were 5-11 years.** To date, clinical signs symptoms, illness course, factors contributing to...
In-person learning benefits children and communities (1).Understanding the context in which transmission of SARS-CoV-2, virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 , occurs schools is critical to improving safety inperson learning.During December 1, 2020-January 22, 2021, Cobb Douglas Public Health (CDPH), Georgia Department (GDPH), CDC investigated SARS-CoV-2 eight public elementary a single school district.COVID-19 cases* among educators students were either self-reported or identified by...
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted and exacerbated long-standing inequities in the social determinants of health (1-3). Ensuring equitable access to effective therapies is essential reducing disparities. Molnupiravir (Lagevrio) nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid) are oral antiviral agents at preventing hospitalization death patients with mild moderate who high risk* for progression severe when initiated within 5 days symptom onset. These medications received Emergency Use Authorization from...

Hospitalizations involving fungal infections increased 8.5% each year in the United States during 2019-2021. During 2020-2021, patients hospitalized with COVID-19-associated had higher (48.5%) in-hospital mortality rates than those non-COVID-19-associated (12.3%). Improved disease surveillance is needed, particularly respiratory virus pandemics.
SummaryA multinational outbreak of nosocomial fusarium meningitis occurred among immunocompetent patients who had undergone surgery with epidural anesthesia in Mexico. The pathogen involved a high predilection for the brain stem and vertebrobasilar arterial system was associated mortality from vessel injury. Effective treatment options remain limited; vitro susceptibility testing organism suggested that it is resistant to all currently approved antifungal medications United States. To...
