Co-infections have an unknown impact on the morbidity and mortality of new clinical syndrome called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The is caused by pandemic SARS-CoV-2 it probably connected with severe traces in elements immune system. Apart from possible Aspergillus infections, particularly patients acute respiratory distress (ARDS), other fungal infections could occur, more easily, due to immunological dysregulation critical condition these patients. Probiotic preparations...
Summary Haemophilia A and B has been associated with increased prevalence of low bone mass (67–86%). The aim this study was to estimate the disease in haemophiliacs its association potential risk factors. Adult patients haemophilia followed-up Centre Northern Greece were included. Bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) lumbar spine (LS), femoral neck (FN), total hip (TH) great trochanter (GT). One-hundred four male (aged 45.8 ± 15.1 years) 50 controls...
A case-control study was performed to assess the serum levels of TNF- α , IL-12/23p40, and IL-17 in patients with plaque psoriasis, compare them healthy controls, correlate disease severity, as represented by Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI). 32 consecutively selected, untreated active, chronic psoriasis were recruited compared age- sex-matched controls. Serum cytokine determined solid phase sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (R&D Systems Europe, Ltd.). The mean significantly...
In this study, the first such study in Greece, we used polyphasic identification combined with antifungal susceptibility to analyze Aspergillus clinical isolates comprising 102 common and rare members of sections Fumigati, Flavi, Terrei, Nidulantes, Nigri, Circumdati, Versicolores, Usti. High amphotericin B MICs (>2 μg/ml) were found for 17.6% strains. Itraconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole >4 μg/ml shown 1%, 5%, 0% isolates, respectively. Anidulafungin, micafungin, caspofungin minimum...
(1) Background: Autologous, allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and other cellular therapies, including CAR T gene therapy, constitute a cornerstone in the management of various benign malignant hematological disorders. Invasive fungal infections (IFD) remain significant cause morbidity mortality HCT recipients. Therefore, we investigated prevalence risk factors IFD following therapies an era novel antifungal prophylaxis. (2) Methods: In this study, retrospectively enrolled...
Nail psoriasis and onychomycosis can often be hard to differentiate clinically may coexist, complicating each other's course. The aim of this study was determine the prevalence among patients with nail not being treated immunosuppressive agents, which constitute an independent risk factor for fungal infections. A cross-sectional performed. All adult who were receiving antifungal and/or treatment recruited at 2nd University Dermatology Department Aristotle Thessaloniki from 10/2016 till...
Summary Haemophilia A and B have been associated with increased prevalence of low bone mineral density ( BMD ). However, the utility turnover markers BTM ) remains unknown. The aim this study was to evaluate metabolism in men haemophilia investigate associations between disease. Serum N‐ NTX ‐I), C‐terminal telopeptide type I collagen CTX ‐I) tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase band‐5b TRAP ‐5b), as resorption markers, osteocalcin OC bone‐specific alkaline (b‐ ALP ), formation were assessed....
Abstract Background Superficial mycoses are defined as the fungal infections of skin, hair or nails that caused by dermatophytes, yeasts and non‐dermatophytic moulds. Dermatophytes most frequently isolated fungi from specimens patients with superficial mycoses. Objective Studying possible alteration epidemiology in Northern Greece during last two to three decades. Materials methods Data concerning coming mainly region Macedonia, Greece, between January 2010 2014 were recorded analysed. They...
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune bullous disease that mainly affects elderly patients. In this retrospective study, in a series of patients with BP, data on systemic medications were collected order to investigate possible association active BP.Thirty-four BP studied two groups. Group A contained who receiving and group B no medications. All sera examined by immunoassay for the existence anti-BP180NC16a anti-BP230, prior initiation steroid treatment.Patients similar age both groups...
Summary Haemophilia A and B have been associated with increased prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD). However, no study has so far evaluated the effects anti-osteoporotic therapy on BMD in haemophilia. The primary endpoint this prospective was to estimate effect 12-month oral ibandronate 150 mg/ month patients haemophilia B. Secondary its turnover markers (BTM) resorption [serum C-terminal telopeptide type 1 collagen (sCTX), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase band 5b] formation...
Hemoglobinopathies constitute the most frequent monogenic disorders worldwide and in Greece. In Greece, carrier frequency is estimated at about 8.0%, resulting a heavy disease burden past. Therefore, implementation of national prevention program was an urgent necessity. Moreover, due to migration flow from different geographic areas last two decades, observed spectrum underlying mutations expanded, leading adaptation diagnostic approaches. We report results National Thalassaemia Prevention...
Background and Purpose: Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are a major cause of morbidity mortality in immunocompromised children. The purpose our study was to evaluate the incidence IFIs pediatric patients with underlying hematologic malignancies determine patient characteristics, predisposing factors, diagnosis, treatment efficacy, outcome IFIs. Materials Methods: For study, retrospective analysis performed on cases proven probable from January 2001 December 2016 (16 years). Results: During...
Abstract Candida auris is an emerging fungal pathogen associated with multi-drug resistance rates and widespread outbreaks in hospitals healthcare units worldwide. Sequencing studies have revealed that different clonal lineages of the fungus seem to be prevalent among distinct geographical sites. The first case C. Northern Greece was reported Thessaloniki October 2022, almost 2 years after isolation (Athens 2019). Mycology Laboratory Medical School Aristotle University stands as reference...
