A Novel Case of Legionnaire's Disease after Staying at Home Rentals.

Case of a 44-year-old woman with past medical history of dermatomyositis who had been on Methrotexate therapy who became infected with Legionella pneumophila after staying at a home rental, known commercially as an Airbnb. The patient presented to the ER with complaints of general malaise and subsequently developed sepsis with respiratory failure requiring intubation. CT scan confirmed the diagnosis of pneumonia and through extensive research L.

Evaluation of Indicators of a Vascular Access Device Program led by Nursing Professionals in a High-complexity University Hospital in Colombia.

Objectives: This work sought to evaluate result indicators of the specialized vascular access program led by nursing during the period between 01 January 2018 and 31 December 2019 at Fundación Cardioinfantil -Instituto de Cardiología (Colombia).

Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study based on medical records of 1,210 patients who received insertion of vascular access devices by the specialized group of nurses. Result indicators are described.

An unusual presentation of herpes simplex in an immunocompromised patient.

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a host-adapted human pathogen. HSV-I usually infects non-genital sites at a variety of locations. HSV-2 primarily involves genitalia.

Satellite RNA of cucumber mosaic cucumovirus spreads epidemically in natural populations of its helper virus.

ABSTRACT Three hundred thirty-eight isolates of cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV), sampled from natural populations in six areas of Spain between 1989 and 1996, were screened for the presence of satellite RNA (satRNA). The frequency of CMV isolates with satRNA approached 1.00 in Valencia (east Spain) between 1990 and 1994 where a tomato necrosis epidemic induced by CMV+satRNA had started in 1986 and was smaller north and west of this area in 1992 and 1993.

Genetic Structure of the Population of Pepino mosaic virus Infecting Tomato Crops in Spain.

ABSTRACT The population structure of Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV), which has caused severe epidemics in tomato in Spain since 2000, was analyzed. Isolates were characterized by the nucleotide sequence of the triple gene block and coat protein gene and, for a subset of isolates, a part of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene. The full-length sequence of the genomic RNA of a Solanum muricatum isolate from Peru also was determined.
