A monkeypox (MPX) outbreak has expanded worldwide since May 2022. We tested 147 clinical samples collected at different time points from 12 patients by real-time PCR. MPX DNA was detected in saliva all cases, sometimes with high viral loads. Other were frequently positive: rectal swab (11/12 cases), nasopharyngeal (10/12 semen (7/9 urine (9/12 cases) and faeces (8/12 cases). These results improve knowledge on virus shedding the possible role of bodily fluids disease transmission.
Many countries have seen a two-wave pattern in reported cases of coronavirus disease-19 during the 2020 pandemic, with first wave spring followed by current second late summer and autumn.

The clinical and epidemiological characteristics the cases this may differ from those earlier reports.To document current outbreak.We conducted prospective cross-sectional study multiple medical facilities Spain to describe 2022 outbreak.In total, 185 patients were included. Most started with primarily localized homogeneous papules, not pustules, probable area inoculation, which could be...
To investigate the metabolic and immunologic factors associated with presence of central arterial stiffness as measured by augmentation index (AIx).We conducted a cross-sectional study 69 female patients systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) compared control group 34 healthy women. The anthropometrical variables, vascular studies, analytic data were obtained same day. AIx was assessed peripheral tonometry. analysis lipoprotein populations performed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)...
Erythematous patches or swollen plaques appearing usually after 4 days more at the injection site of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination are commonly known as ‘COVID-Arm’.1 It is considered normal to have signs inflammation up 3 vaccine administered. Pathological inflammatory reactions those that persist beyond days. COVID-Arm one most reported adverse effect all COVID-19 vaccines, but it seems much frequent with mRNA-1273.2-4 almost exclusively described in women.5 Skin biopsies shown superficial...
