Objectives: Daratumumab-treated myeloma patients may face increased seasonal influenza risk due to weakened postvaccination immune responses, especially with daratumumab treatment. We aimed to assess humoral responses to boosted influenza vaccination in daratumumab-treated or -untreated patients.
Methods: In a single-center study, we evaluated humoral responses (hemagglutination-inhibition assay) one month following a two-injection (4-weeks apart) influenza vaccination (standard dose) in 84 patients with multiple myeloma (40 with daratumumab in the past year).
Article Synopsis
- HSCT recipients have a high risk of severe COVID-19 and show altered immune responses to vaccinations; this study focused on how well they responded to the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine.
- A significant number of HSCT recipients were given a third vaccine dose if their antibody levels were low a month after the second dose; six months later, the antibody levels declined but 72% still had protective levels.
- Factors like immunosuppressive treatment and low lymphocyte counts were linked to reduced antibody levels, and a small number of participants experienced COVID-19 infections, with one resulting in death.
Objectives: COVID-19 patients affected by haematological malignancies have a more severe course of the disease and higher mortality, prompting for effective prophylaxis. The present study aims to evaluate the humoral response after mRNA vaccination as well as the impact of a third vaccine dose in patients with lymphoid malignancies.
Methods: We conducted a single-centre study, evaluating the serological responses of mRNA vaccination amongst a cohort of 200 patients affected by lymphoid malignancies after two or three doses using an industrial SARS-CoV-2 serology assay for anti-receptor binding domain (RBD) Spike IgG detection and quantification.
Purpose: The first-line therapy for patients with keratitis is different for bacteria, filamentous fungi, and yeasts. The timely onset of treatments depends on rapid and accurate diagnosis. However, fungal cultures produce high rates of false-negative results.

Of the 72 strains studied, 33 (45.8%) were resistant to at least one MLS antibiotic, including 24 (72.
