Article Synopsis
- In November 2023, five newborns with fever and suspected human parechovirus (PEV-A) infection were studied, and PEV-A positivity was confirmed through advanced testing methods.
- Metagenomic sequencing and amplicon-based whole genome sequencing revealed that the infections were caused by PEV-A genotype 3 (PEV-A3), with all analyzed samples showing identical consensus sequences.
- The study indicated the presence of at least two viral quasispecies and suggested that the cluster of cases was microbiologically related, contributing valuable data for understanding PEV-A3's evolution and pathogenicity.
Introduction: The most harmful and most frequent foetal agent is cytomegalovirus. The progress in diagnostic tools and therapeutic opportunities opened new perspectives in the diagnosis and management of foetal cytomegalovirus infection.
Aim: Evaluation of cytomegalovirus virological test results performed during pregnancy between 2007 and 2012.
Article Synopsis
- The study conducted a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with human parvovirus B19 infection in Hungary in 2011, focusing on clinical and laboratory data.
- In total, 72 patients were identified, with clinical manifestations including rash, blood disorders, and fever, demonstrating various symptom combinations but usually highlighted by exanthema.
- The findings aim to improve the recognition of human parvovirus B19 clinical symptoms, especially noting atypical presentations and the potential effects on pregnant women.
