The Zurich Primary HIV Infection (ZPHI) study is a longitudinal cohort established in 2002, aiming to the clinical, epidemiological, and biological characteristics of primary infection. ZPHI enrolls individuals with documented HIV-1 At baseline thereafter, socio-demographic, laboratory data are systematically collected, regular blood sampling performed for biobanking. By end December 2022, 486 people were enrolled, which 353 still undergoing active follow-up. Of participants, 86% had an...
The article describes the case of a 68-year-old patient who was admitted to clinic after returning from southern Italy with fever, night sweats, and pancytopenia. After extensive diagnostic investigations that ruled out bacterial, viral, parasitic infections as well other diseases, visceral leishmaniasis (VL) were eventually diagnosed. This diagnosis confirmed by detection Leishmania sp. in bone marrow positive serological tests. Additionally, showed signs macrophage activation syndrome...
Group A Streptococcus (GAS, aka pyogenes) poses a significant public health concern, causing diverse spectrum of infections with high mortality rates. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, resurgence invasive GAS (iGAS) has been documented, necessitating efficient outbreak detection methods. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) serves as gold standard for molecular typing, albeit constrained by time and costs. This study aimed to characterize post-pandemic increased prevalence iGAS on epidemiological...
Switzerland began a national lockdown on March 16, 2020, in response to the rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We assessed prevalence SARS-CoV-2 infection among patients admitted 4 hospitals canton Zurich, Switzerland, April 2020. These care screened 2,807 patients, including 2,278 (81.2%) who did not have symptoms disease (COVID-19). Overall, 529 (18.8%) persons had >1 symptom COVID-19, whom 60 (11.3%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Eight...
Louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) is a neglected disease that has been restricted to East Africa for many decades. Several cases in refugees from the Horn of have recently diagnosed four European countries. We report additional LBRF asylum seekers Somalia and Eritrea who presented with shortly after arriving Switzerland during seven-month period. Multiple spirochetes were visualized on stained blood films which identified as Borrelia recurrentis by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. All patients...
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) cytomegalovirus (CMV) emerged after transient responses to ganciclovir, foscarnet, and cidofovir in a CMV-seropositive recipient who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from CMV-seronegative donor. Experimental treatments using leflunomide artesunate failed. Re-transplantation donor supported by adoptive transfer of pp65-specific T cells maribavir was followed lasting suppression. This case illustrates that successful MDR CMV therapy may...
The effect of centrifugation time heparinized blood samples on clinical chemistry and immunology results has rarely been studied. WHO guideline proposed a 15 min without citing any scientific publications. considerable impact the turn-around-time. We investigated 74 parameters in from 44 patients Roche Cobas 6000 system, to see whether there was statistical significant difference test among specimens centrifuged at 2180 g for min, 10 or 1870 7 respectively.

CME: Typhoid Fever - Clinical Manifestation, Diagnosis, Therapy and Prevention Abstract. Thypoid fever is rare in Western countries. It is, however, among the most common etiologies for febrile illness traveller returning from tropical areas (especially South(east) Asia Sub-Saharan Africa). There are several signs that have been described as classical findings typhoid fever: i) temperatures with relative bradycardia, ii) eosinopenia, iii) slow defervescence, iv) systemic manifestations (e.g....
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the world and caused a supply shortage of personal protection equipment, especially filtering facepiece respirators (FFP). This increased risk many healthcare workers contracting SARS-CoV-2. Various strategies have been assessed to tackle these issues. In critical scenarios, reusing single-use-designed may be required. Thus, an easily applicable reliable FFP2 (or alike) respirator decontamination method, allowing safe re-use by personnel, developed is...
