Article Synopsis
- The 2022 mpox outbreak in Belgium involved extensive genomic analysis, revealing 248 complete monkeypox virus genomes related to the MPXV Clade IIb B.1.
- Researchers identified at least 79 introduction events of the virus into Belgium, but local transmission remained limited.
- Tecovirimat showed the strongest in vitro effectiveness against the 2022 MPXV strain, indicating its potential as a treatment option.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how SARS-CoV-2 evolves within immunocompromised patients, revealing new virus lineages resulting from prolonged infections, particularly the Omicron BF.7 sublineage that lasted over a year.
- Researchers analyzed eight samples from a single patient, discovering 87 genetic changes, including variants and deletions, indicating significant viral diversity within different parts of the respiratory system.
- The findings suggest that nasopharyngeal samples alone may not accurately reflect the full range of viral mutations, underlining the complexity of viral evolution in chronic infections.
Article Synopsis
- Misdiagnosis of tenosynovitis often occurs because it's hard to identify and seen as rare, leading to delays in treatment and serious outcomes.
- The report includes a new case of hand tenosynovitis that illustrates the difficulties in diagnosing and managing this condition.
- It also offers a detailed summary of existing case reports to highlight tenosynovitis as an increasingly recognized cause of hand pain.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae fungemias: how heterogenous is their management?

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a yeast used mainly as a probiotic for prevention or treatment of diarrhoea. However, the prevalence of S. cerevisiae fungemia has risen over the past years, notably among patients with predisposing factors.

How and when to treat dogs with suspected secondary bacterial rhinitis and on which test to rely before making a decision to treat with antimicrobials has not been established. The objective is to compare the results of bacterial identification using agar-plate cultures and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing in dogs with nasal discharge suspected to be of bacterial origin.
