Disseminated coccidioidomycosis (DCM) is caused by Coccidioides, pathogenic fungi endemic to the southwestern United States and Mexico. Illness occurs in approximately 30% of those infected, less than 1% whom develop disseminated disease. To address why some individuals allow dissemination, we enrolled patients with DCM performed whole-exome sequencing. In an exploratory set 67 DCM, 2 had haploinsufficient STAT3 mutations, defects β-glucan sensing response were seen 34 cases. Damaging CLEC7A...
Coccidioidomycosis is associated with a broad spectrum of illness severity, ranging from asymptomatic or self-limited pulmonary infection to life-threatening manifestations disseminated disease. Serologic studies before the widespread availability antifungals established current understanding serologic kinetics and dynamics.
Abstract Objective: To describe the pattern of transmission severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) during nosocomial outbreaks disease 2019 (COVID-19) with regard to possibility airborne transmission. Design: Contact investigations active case finding were used assess spread from COVID-19 index patients. Setting: A community hospital and university medical center in United States, February March, 2020, early pandemic. Patients: Two patients 421 exposed healthcare workers....
Abstract Background HIV infection increases the risk of placental malaria, which is associated with poor maternal and infant outcomes. Recommendations in Uganda are for HIV-infected pregnant women to receive daily trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole (TS) HIV-uninfected intermittent sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP). TS decreases malaria adults children but has not been evaluated among women. Methods This was a cross sectional study comparing prevalence between prescribed preventive therapy (IPT-SP)...
Abstract Background Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are poised to transform infectious disease testing. Uniquely, testing is technologically diverse spaces in laboratory medicine, where multiple platforms approaches may be required support clinical decision-making. Despite advances informatics, the vast array of data constrained by human analytical limitations. Machine can exploit streams, including but not limited information overcome limitations provide physicians...
In a retrospective, cohort study at 4 medical centers with high coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination rates, we evaluated breakthrough severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 Delta variant infections in vaccinated healthcare workers. Few work-related secondary cases were identified. Breakthrough largely due to unmasked social activities outside of work.
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate differences in the brain’s haemodynamic response semantically incongruent and congruent sentences adults with an autistic spectrum condition (ASC) a typically developing Control group. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging measure regional variations neural activity during detection semantic incongruities within written sentences. Whilst 12 controls showed pattern extending from posterior cingulate cortices bilaterally left...
We performed a calendar-matched, 12-month, before (November 27, 2017 to November 26, 2018) and after 2018 2019) study, assess the utility of an emergency department-based HIV screening program. There were 710 14 335 patients screened for during pre post-best practice alert (BPA) periods, respectively, representing more than 20-fold increase in following BPA implementation. Total positive tests increased 5-fold
Abstract Objective: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination effectiveness in healthcare personnel (HCP) has been established. However, questions remain regarding its performance high-risk occupations and work locations. We describe the effect of a COVID-19 HCP campaign on SARS-CoV-2 infection by timing vaccination, job type, location. Methods: conducted retrospective review acceptance, incidence postvaccination COVID-19, hospitalization, mortality among 16,156 faculty, students,...
Background The prevalence of syphilis is increasing in many countries, including the USA. ED often used by underserved populations, making it an important setting to test and treat patients who are not evaluated outpatient clinical settings. We aimed assess utility ED-based gonorrhoea/chlamydia cotesting protocol comparing testing practices before after its implementation. Methods implemented electronic health record (EHR) alert that prompted clinicians order undergoing testing. performed a...

Abstract Background With the acceleration of hepatitis C (HCV) epidemic in United States and ongoing public health impact undetected human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infection, there is a critical need for enhanced secondary prevention efforts where patients accessing care are not routinely screened. The purpose this program was to implement routine opt-out HIV HCV screenings high-volume urban emergency department (ED) through use an EMR enhancement increase provider’s likelihood...
Abstract Background New HIV diagnoses in the United States have remained stagnant while incidence has increased among certain groups; additional efforts towards prevention are needed. Most adults who could benefit from Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) not receiving it. Many of these individuals present for healthcare visits bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI), an indication PrEP both men sex with (MSM) and heterosexual individuals; we sought to characterize identify missed...

Coccidioidomycosis is associated with a broad spectrum of illness severity, ranging from asymptomatic or self-limited pulmonary infection to life-threatening manifestations disseminated disease. Current understanding serologic kinetics and features are largely based on studies the 1950s before antifungals were widely available. The effects antifungal therapy characteristics has not previously been evaluated. We retrospectively analyzed chart history complement fixation titer trends 434...
Abstract Background Syphilis incidence across all regions of California increased by 22% compared with 2016 cases; the largest number chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and congenital syphilis cases among states (CDC 2017). The USPSTF recommends targeted screening in patients at risk. However, emergency departments (EDs) is not routinely performed even when present for concerns a sexually transmitted infection (STI). purpose this program was to implement routine ED being tested chlamydia...
