Pure Red Cell Aplasia Related to Parvovirus B19 Infection in Simultaneous Pancreas and Kidney Recipient: A Case Report.

A 42-year-old woman received a simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK). Immunosuppression consisted of tacrolimus modified release, prednisone, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and thymoglobulin as induction. The function of both grafts was good.

Isolation of Sabin-like Polioviruses from Sewage in Poland.

As a complement to the active search for cases of acute flaccid paralysis, environmental sampling was conducted from January to December 2011, to test for any putative polio revertants and recombinants in sewage. A total of 165 environmental samples were obtained and analyzed for the presence of polioviruses by use of cell culture (L20B, RD and Caco-2) followed by neutralization and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Out of the 31 CPE positive samples, 26 contained one and 5 two different serotypes, yielding a total of 36 PVs.

Environmental Surveillance of Non-polio Enteroviruses in Poland, 2011.

The aim of this study was to apply environmental surveillance to evaluate circulation of non-polio enteroviruses (NPEVs) in sewage in Poland. Samples of raw sewage were collected in 14 sewage disposal systems from January to December, 2011. Sewage samples were concentrated prior to analysis by RT-PCR and isolation in cells (RD, L20B and Caco-2).

[The analysis of the occurence of human papillomavirus genotypes in patients surveyed in NIPH-NIH in 2007-2009].

The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of each genotype of papillomavirus caused infection in human. In the years 2007-2009 in NIPH-NIH diagnostic tests were carried out, among 250 participants (222 women and 25 men). The samples were tested by PCR and subsequently LiPA hybridization was performed.
