pneumonia (PCP) is one of the most common opportunistic infections in HIV-infected patients. However, coinfection with is infrequent in AIDS patients with PCP. We report a 28-year-old male AIDS patient coinfected with and diagnosed in the bronchoalveolar lavage.

Severity-associated markers and assessment model for predicting the severity of COVID-19: a retrospective study in Hangzhou, China.

Background: The severity of COVID-19 associates with the clinical decision making and the prognosis of COVID-19 patients, therefore, early identification of patients who are likely to develop severe or critical COVID-19 is critical in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to screen severity-associated markers and construct an assessment model for predicting the severity of COVID-19.

Methods: 172 confirmed COVID-19 patients were enrolled from two designated hospitals in Hangzhou, China.

Comparing Noninvasive Predictors of Neurosyphilis Among Syphilis Patients With and Without HIV Co-Infection Based on the Real-World Diagnostic Criteria: A Single-Center, Retrospective Cohort Study in China.

Diagnosis of neurosyphilis is currently based on the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) assessments and CSF-Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (CSF-VDRL) is the traditional "gold standard." In the real world, CSF assessments and CSF-VDRL are not always available. This study aimed to identify noninvasive predictors of neurosyphilis based on real-world clinical parameters and diagnostic criteria in populations with different HIV status.

Spatiotemporal characteristics and the epidemiology of tuberculosis in China from 2004 to 2017 by the nationwide surveillance system.

Background: China has always been one of the countries with the most serious Tuberculosis epidemic in the world. Our study was to observe the Spatial-temporal characteristics and the epidemiology of Tuberculosis in China from 2004 to 2017 with Joinpoint regression analysis, Seasonal Autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model, geographic cluster, and multivariate time series model.

Methods: The data of TB from January 2004 to December 2017 were obtained from the notifiable infectious disease reporting system supplied by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
