Neuroinvasive flaviviruses such as tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and West Nile (WNV) are widely distributed in continental Croatian regions. We analyzed clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters, molecular epidemiology of neuroinvasive flavivirus infections eastern Croatia. A total 43 patients with confirmed infection hospitalized from 2017 to 2023 were included the study. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used detect RNA samples (cerebrospinal fluid;...
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is one of the most significant arboviruses affecting human central nervous system (CNS) in Europe. Data on cytokine response TBEV infection are limited.We analyzed serum, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and urine samples patients with TBE. The control group consisted 'febrile headache' who had normal CSF cytology. panel included 12 cytokines: TNF-α, IL-6, Th1 (IL-2, IFN-γ), Th2 (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13), Th9 (IL-9), Th17 (IL-17A, IL-17F), Th22 (IL-22) cytokines...
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a protein secreted by activated neutrophils and certain tissues. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic role urinary neutrophil (uNGAL) in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with regard mortality. prospective observational cohort involved 86 adult patients. Patients’ urine samples were collected upon admission 48–72 h after admission. General anamnesis clinical status information obtained from medical records. Within 24 sample...
Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) is a stress-induced cytokine associated with acute and chronic inflammatory states. This prospective observational study aimed to investigate the prognostic roles of GDF-15 routine clinical laboratory parameters in COVID-19 patients. Upon admission 95 adult hospitalized patients Croatia, blood analysis was performed, medical data were collected. The categorized based on survival, ICU admission, hospitalization duration. Logistic regression ROC curve...
Background A rare case of coinfection Plasmodium falciparum and SARS-CoV-2 disease in Croatia is presented this report.Methods We tracked epidemiological laboratory findings a patient with coinfection. complete blood count was performed using the Sysmex XN-2000 analyser (Sysmex Corporation, Kobe, Japan), coagulation analyses were BCS XP coagulometer (Siemens Healthineers AG, Erlangen, Germany). Procalcitonin (PCT) Interleukin-6 (IL-6) measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA)...
Cilj : Istraživanju je glavni cilj ispitati kliničke karakteristike u odnosu na dob i komplikacije te pronaći prediktore koji utječu vjerojatnost pojave komplikacija negativnog ishoda hospitaliziranih bolesnika s influencom. Ispitanici metode Istraživanjem su obuhvaćeni svi hospitalizirani bolesnici klinički i/ili laboratorijski dokazanom gripom Klinici za infektologiju Kliničkog bolničkog centra Osijek razdoblju od prosinca 2018. do travnja 2019. godine. Istraživanje provedeno nad 128...
Purpose: To present a case of acute anteroseptal ST-elevation myocardial infarction in the West Nile virus (WNV) meningoencephalitis. Methods & Materials: A 77-year-old patient was hospitalized late summer 2017 on second day illness manifested by fever up to 38.6 °C and diarrhea. The did not report recent travel but recalled mosquito bites. Past medical history included hypertension. At admission, routine laboratory tests, electrocardiogram (ECG) chest x-ray were performed. In addition,...
