complex (MAC) infection in severely immunocompromised people living with HIV: Findings from a five-year cohort.

Background: We sought to clarify the current incidence, risk factors and symptoms of disseminated complex (dMAC) infection in admitted people living with HIV in a hospital in the Southeast of Spain.

Methods: 5-years observational, retrospective and single-centre study. Demographic, clinical and analytical variables, along with microbiological, treatment and follow-up were collected.

Analysis of HLA Alleles in Different Cohorts of Patients Infected by from Southern Spain.

Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by protozoa of the genus , which is endemic in certain areas of Europe, such as southern Spain. The disease manifests in various clinical phenotypes, including visceral, cutaneous, mucosal, or asymptomatic leishmaniasis. This diversity in clinical outcomes may be influenced by the host immune response, with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules playing a crucial role in determining susceptibility and progression of the infection.

Bacteremia caused by Veillonella parvula: Two case reports and a review of the literature.

Veillonella parvula is a non-motile gram-negative coccus that forms part of the normal microbiota in several body sites and which has been rarely isolated as cause of infections in human population, particularly in bacteremias. Here we give the overview of characteristics of genus Veillonella and the summary of its role in infections, particularly in bacteremia. We additionally report two patients with bacteremia due to V.

Evaluation of a new CT/NG/TV/MG Real-Time PCR Kit (Vircell) versus the Allplex STI Essential Assay (Seegene) for the diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections.

Sexually transmitted infections (STI) are a public health problem. Real-time PCR assays are the most sensitive test for screening and diagnosis of these infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate a new CT/NG/TV/MG Real-Time PCR (RT-PCR) kit (Vircell) for the detection of , , and for the diagnosis of sexual transmitted infections using the Allplex STI Essential Assay (Seegene) as the reference's method.
