The share of the elderly population is growing worldwide as life expectancy increases. Immunosenescence and comorbidities increase infectious diseases’ morbidity mortality in older adults. Here, we aimed to summarize latest findings on vaccines for against herpes zoster, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), COVID-19, pneumococcal disease examine vaccine recommendation differences this age group Europe United States. PubMed was searched using keywords “elders” “vaccine” alongside...
Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections are a major public health threat due to the limited therapeutic options available. The introduction of new β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors (BL/BLIs) has, however, altered treatment for such pathogens. Thus, four BL/BLI combinations—namely, ceftazidime/avibactam, meropenem/vaborbactam, imipenem/relebactam, and ceftolozane/tazobactam—have been approved attributed carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales species Pseudomonas aeruginosa....

The ABO blood groups, Lewis antigens, and secretor systems are important components of transfusion medicine. These interconnected have been also shown to be associated with differing susceptibility bacterial viral infections, likely as the result selection over course evolution constant tug war between humans infectious microbes. This comprehensive narrative review aimed explore literature present current state knowledge on reported associations ABO, Lewis, groups SARS-CoV-2 infection...
Humoral immunity has emerged as a vital immune component against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Nevertheless, subset of recovered Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) paucisymptomatic/asymptomatic individuals do not generate an antibody response, constituting paradox. We assumed that immunodiagnostic assays may operate under competitive format within the context antigenemia, potentially explaining this phenomenon. present case where persistent...
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes significant morbidity and mortality, especially in young children the elderly. RSV vaccine development puzzled vaccinologists for years. Safety concerns of initial formulations, lack an absolute correlate protection, as well need selection appropriate attenuation antigen-adjuvant combination, contributed to delayed production. The recent stabilization RSV-F glycoprotein prefusion (preF) conformation that constitutes primary target RSV-neutralizing...
Summary Immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 have been vigorously analyzed. It has proposed that a subset of mild or asymptomatic cases with undetectable antibodies may clear the virus in T-cell cytotoxic-dependent manner, albeit recent data revealed importance B-cells regard. We hypothesized underdiagnosed antigenemia/viremia conceal humoral response possibly through immunocomplex formation. report first case late-onset seroconversion detected following decline levels. Consequently,...
