COVID-19 infection after vaccination.

Background: Although vaccination is the most effective and specific approach for prevention of infectious diseases, but in a small percentage of vaccinated person's breakthrough infections can occur. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of different common vaccines in this area.

Methods: 109 COVID-19 vaccinated patients were enrolled, with different types of vaccines (Sinopharm, AstraZeneca, Sputnic, Bharath, CovIran Barkat and Pasto-CoV) and time of administration in 2021 in Babol, Iran.

Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis and pneumonia in a HIV positive patient: A case report.

Key Clinical Messages: Early diagnosis of cryptococcal infection is the key to improving outcomes, any newly diagnosed HIV patient presenting with subacute or chronic headache, particularly those who are CD4-deplete, should be investigated for cryptococcal meningitis. We had some delay in our patient management, including delay in HIV diagnosis, delay in doing LP and delay in initiation of anti-cryptococcal treatment and also early start of ART before specific cryptococcal treatment exacerbated IRIS in the patient. So, paying attention to these points can improve the prognosis of such patients.

The prevalence of latent/chronic infection in liver transplant candidates in Taleghani Hospital of Tehran, Iran, from 2020 until 2021.

Aim: The present study aimed to study the prevalence of various latent infections in pre-transplanted patients.

Background: Due to chronic immunosuppressive therapy, patients receiving organ transplants are at risk for reactivation of various infections. Due to the complications in the course of diagnosing and treating the post-transplant infection, screening transplant recipients and donors is vital.

Immunosuppressive regimens on conversion of cytomegalovirus infection to disease in liver transplant recipients.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is one of the most common infectious complications after liver transplantation. It is the cause of numerous morbidity and mortalities. Intensity of immunosuppression defined as overall immunosuppressive drug dosage seems to affect infectious complications.

Fulminant hepatitis following COVID-19 vaccination: A case report.

The common side effects of COVID-19 vaccination were mostly self-restricted local reactions that quickly resolved. Nevertheless, rare autoimmune hepatitis cases have been reported in some vaccinated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. This article presents a young man who developed fulminant hepatitis a few days after vaccination with the first dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.

endocarditis: a rare nosocomial infection of native heart valves.

is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen predominantly associated with hospital-acquired infections. Here we present a case of infective endocarditis of native Mitral and Aorta valves caused by in a 73-year-old man. He underwent surgical excision and Pathologic specimen showed growth after 48 hours that was extensively drug-resistant (XDR).

Outcome of a HIV Positive Patient Infected with COVID-19 After an Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation: A Case Report.

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) announced the SARS-COV-2 disease pandemic on March 9, 2020. With the advent of this disease, another health burden was added to about 37.9 million people in the world who are infected with HIV and are suffering from various diseases.

COVID-19 and kidney transplant recipients.

Background: The novel coronavirus has become a global threat and healthcare concern. The manifestations of COVID-19 pneumonia in transplant patients are not well understood and may have more severe symptoms, longer duration, and a worse prognosis than in immunocompetent populations.

Aims: This study proposed to evaluate the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 pneumonia in kidney transplant recipients.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease in an Iranian Woman; a Rare but Important Cause of Lymphadenopathy.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease (KFD), is a rare and self-limited condition of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, which typically presents as fever and lymphadenopathy. We describe a case of KFD in an Iranian woman. Due to low incidence and high importance, awareness of this disease is necessary for clinicians for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
