Severe Multiorgan Failure Following Yellow Fever Vaccination.

Background: The yellow fever (YF) vaccination is recommended by the WHO for people traveling or living in endemic areas at risk for yellow fever infections in Africa and South America. Although the live attenuated yellow fever vaccine is a safe and efficient vaccine, rare serious adverse events after vaccination have been reported.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 74-year-old male with multiorgan failure after yellow fever vaccination for a trip to Brazil.

Prognostic value of elevated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T levels in a low risk outpatient population with cardiovascular disease.

Aims: To investigate the prognostic implications of elevated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) values in presumably stable ambulatory coronary artery disease patients.

Methods And Results: We conducted a retrospective, single-centre pilot observational study in a low-risk population. All patients received routine measurement of hs-cTnT at index and follow-up visits.
