Atypical SARS and Escherichia coli Bacteremia

We describe a patient with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) whose clinical symptoms were masked by Escherichia coli bacteremia. SARS developed in a cluster of healthcare workers who had contact with this patient. SARS was diagnosed when a chest infiltrate developed and when the patient’s brother was hospitalized with acute respiratory failure. We highlight problems in atypical cases and offer infection control suggestions

Chronic Hepatitis E Infection Resulting in Graft Failure in a Liver Transplant Tourist

Hepatitis E, usually an acute hepatitis in the immunocompetent, has a chronic form described in immunocompromised hosts. We report the clinical course and outcome of an adult liver transplant recipient whose posttransplant period was complicated by chronic hepatitis E, Epstein-Barr virus infection, and cellular rejection of the graft

Relapsing COVID-19 infection as a manifestation of Good syndrome: a case report and literature review

Good syndrome (GS) is a rare acquired immunodeficiency disease characterized by the presence of thymoma with combined B and T cell immunodeficiency in adults. Recurrent bacterial infections, particularly sinopulmonary infections caused by encapsulated bacteria, remain the most common infective presentation of GS; however, relapsing viral infections have also been reported, likely due to impaired T cell-mediated immunity. Relapsing COVID-19 infection, however, has not been previously reported as a manifestation of GS. We present two cases of relapsing COVID-19 infection in patients with GS; in one case, relapsing COVID-19 was the first manifestation of newly diagnosed GS

Three-dimensional neuraminidase (NA) protein structure of the influenza A/Tanzania/205/2010 (H3N2) strain in complex with oseltamivir carboxylate (depicted as the central mesh), downloaded from the RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB ID: 4GZP).

<p>The ribbons representation of the NA protein structure was generated and edited with the UCSF Chimera software package. The positions of the amino acids, D93, Y155, I222, G248, K249, and D251, were highlighted in red.</p

Three-dimensional proton channel matrix 2 (M2) tetrameric structure of the influenza A/Udorn/307/1972 (H3N2) strain in complex with rimantadine (depicted as the 4 individual meshes), downloaded from the RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB ID: 2RLF).

<p>The ribbons representation of the four tightly packed transmembrane helices (each consisted of 15 M2 primary polypeptide chains) were generated and edited with the UCSF Chimera software package. The positions of the amino acids L26, V27, and S31 were highlighted in green, blue, and red, respectively.</p
