Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, vol.17

“Neutrosophic Sets and Systems” has been created for publications on advanced studies in neutrosophy, neutrosophic set, neutrosophic logic, neutrosophic probability, neutrosophic statistics that started in 1995 and their applications in any field, such as the neutrosophic structures developed in algebra, geometry, topology, etc

Clinical characteristics and laboratory values of children on admission, and outcome

†<p>Date of vaccination unless otherwise stated.</p>‡<p>HBV: Hepatitis B virus. Both received Euvax B™; MMR: Measles, Mumps, Rubella. All received Priorix™; varicella: Varilrix^R.</p>§<p>swelling at injection site beyond the expected after routine vaccination.</p>∥<p>Inotropes used were dopamine, dobutamine, noradrenaline.</p>**<p>MRSA: methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>. NA denotes not available, a plus sign positive or present, and a minus sign negative or absent.</p>*<p>Normal ranges are as follows: hemoglobin concentration, 105–135 g/L; leukocyte count, 6 to 17.5·10⁹/L; platelet count, 150 to 400·10⁹/L; alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level, below 37 U/L; aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level, below 40 U/L; creatine phosphokinase (CK) below 200 U/L; serum creatinine concentration, 18–80 µmol/L;</p

Rapidly progressive soft tissue infection after vaccination.

<p>Severe tissue necrosis around vaccination site in Child 4, two days following vaccination with MMR. MRSA was cultured from wound fluid.</p

Key virulence and resistance genes in isolates HCM3A, HT2001 751, and MW2 as detected by microarray.

*<p>Confirmed with PCR and/or sequencing</p>**<p>Microarray data cannot conclusively prove the location of a gene. Assignation to a MGE is based on known location of that gene in other sequenced strains.</p><p><i>hla</i>, α-haemolysin; <i>hlgACB</i>, γ-haemolysin; <i>hld</i>, δ-haemolysin; <i>clf</i>, clumping factors; ST, sequence type using MLST; <i>cap8</i>, capsule type 8; <i>sasG</i>, accumulation associated protein SA2285; <i>coa</i> M0206v, coagulase with four types described; <i>sasA</i>, haemagglutinin like gene which can contain an insert; <i>cna</i>, collagen binding protein; <i>sdr</i>, serine aspartate repeat proteins; <i>fnbpA</i>, fibronectin binding protein with three types described; <i>lytN</i>, cell wall hydrolase; <i>agr</i>, accessory gene regulator with 4 classes described; <i>trap</i>, target of RNAIII activating protein with 2 types described; <i>sarT</i>, staphylococcal accessory regulator T; MGE, mobile genetic element; SCC, staphylococcal cassette chromosome; <i>mec</i>, methicillin resistance; <i>ccr</i>, cassette chromosome recombinase with 3 types described; <i>far1</i>, putative fusidic acid resistance; <i>PV-luk</i>, Panton Valentine leukocidin; <i>seg</i>, enterotoxin G; <i>sak</i>, staphylokinase; <i>sea</i>, enterotoxin A; <i>sek</i>, enterotoxin K; <i>seb</i>, enterotoxin B; <i>sec</i>, enterotoxin C; <i>bla</i>, β-lactamase; <i>cad</i>, cadmium resistance; <i>ars</i>, arsenic resistance; <i>bacteriocin</i>, putative bacteriocin gene SAR0694-5; - denotes gene not detected; #, phage unrelated to PV-<i>luk</i> phage in MW2.</p
