Article Synopsis
- The study examines how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the rates and types of viral respiratory infections in children under 18 years old, by analyzing medical records from January 2018 to March 2023.
- A significant decline in these infections was noted in 2020 (38.6% drop), followed by a surge in 2021 (188% increase), indicating fluctuating patterns post-pandemic.
- Notably, respiratory syncytial virus and influenza infections rose in frequency in the post-pandemic period, while parainfluenza virus infections showed an unusual increase during summer months, adding new insights to existing research.
Background/aim: Although seasonal human coronaviruses (HCoVs) have long been recognized as respiratory tract viruses, the newly identified SARS-CoV-2 caused a pandemic associated with severe respiratory failure. We aimed to evaluate the incidence of COVID-19 infection in patients diagnosed in three tertiary teaching hospitals, both with and without prior confirmed HCoV infection, and to compare these cohorts in terms of COVID-19 contraction.
Materials And Methods: In our study, we examined HCoV PCR-positive cases obtained retrospectively between January 2014 and March 2020 from three University Hospital Microbiology Laboratories (Cohort 1), as well as PCR-negative patients detected in the same PCR cycle as the positive cases (Cohort 2).
Human papillomavirus DNA testing with the urine sample is not yet available: the accuracy of two distinct kits.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the results and efficiency of two real-time polymerase chain reaction procedures for detecting human papillomavirus utilizing urine samples.
Methods: This study comprised 151 patients who had previously tested positive for human papillomavirus in their cervical samples. Two different commercial real-time polymerase chain reaction techniques were used for identification and genotyping human papillomavirus in urine specimens.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines the role of a rapid assay to measure reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by neutrophils in patients with severe COVID-19 in the ICU
- Results indicate that elevated ROS levels correlate with neutrophil counts and are associated with patient outcomes, with a decline in ROS levels observed in survivors
- The findings suggest that the assay could serve as a valuable tool for predicting mortality and guiding treatment for patients with severe infections related to neutrophil activation
Introduction: Besides generalized symptoms, patients with COVID-19 also show otolaryngological (ENT) symptoms. Globus is one of these symptoms. Anxiety problems may accompany the disease, as well.
