- The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic poses significant challenges for everyday life, especially for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) who are vulnerable due to their treatments with disease-modifying therapies (DMTs).
- Understanding vaccine effectiveness and safety for MS patients, especially regarding potential risks and neurological impacts, is essential since these patients might be at risk of disease relapses following infections.
- Vaccination is recommended for MS patients not in an active disease phase, as it offers some protection despite concerns about reduced immune responses due to certain DMTs, and timing for vaccinations and DMT regimen is crucial for optimizing the vaccine's effectiveness.
Malaria is one of the worlds most important infectious diseases, occurring in many tropical and subtropical countries.

More than 200 million people get malaria every year worldwide, and hundreds of thousands of them, mostly children under 5 years of age, die of it.

Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis
September 2017
Risk assessment of central nervous system (CNS) infection patients is of key importance in predicting likely pathogens. However, data are lacking on the epidemiology globally. We performed a multicenter study to understand the burden of community-acquired CNS (CA-CNS) infections between 2012 and 2014.
