Human T-Lymphotropic Virus-1 Associated With Adult T-Cell Lymphoma: A Case Report.

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) was subsequently identified as the cause of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). While oral manifestations of this disease have been documented, they remain poorly described in the literature. We present the case of a 32-year-old patient who exhibited facial and oral swelling in the upper jaw.

Emergency of oral haemorrhage: Retrospective study over 2 years.

Introduction: Oral haemorrhages (OH) represent a relatively rare reason for an emergency consultation, among dental pain, infectious processes and traumas. Various haemorrhagic risk factors are described, particularly those related to a general medical context or local factors. It is common to associate OH with haemorrhagic risk patients.

In-Host Flat-like Quasispecies: Characterization Methods and Clinical Implications.

The repeated failure to treat patients chronically infected with hepatitis E (HEV) and C (HCV) viruses, despite the absence of resistance-associated substitutions (RAS), particularly in response to prolonged treatments with the mutagenic agents of HEV, suggests that quasispecies structure may play a crucial role beyond single point mutations. Quasispecies structured in a flat-like manner (referred to as flat-like) are considered to possess high average fitness, occupy a significant fraction of the functional genetic space of the virus, and exhibit a high capacity to evade specific or mutagenic treatments. In this paper, we studied HEV and HCV samples using high-depth next-generation sequencing (NGS), with indices scoring the different properties describing flat-like quasispecies.
