Article Synopsis
- * During the outbreak, tests were conducted on 246 patients for neuroinvasive and febrile diseases, confirming WNV cases across ten counties and indicating new areas affected by human cases for the first time.
- * Phylogenetic analyses indicated the circulation of WNV lineage 2, and testing of horses and poultry showed the presence of WNV antibodies, alongside the detection of viral RNA in local birds and mosquitoes, emphasizing the need for ongoing 'One Health' surveillance.
Article Synopsis
- West Nile virus (WNV) IgM antibodies can last for up to 500 days, prompting a study on the role of IgG avidity in diagnosing WNV infections in patients with neuroinvasive disease and asymptomatic cases.
- Serological tests revealed that IgM antibodies were present in 87% of analyzed samples, with low avidity indices indicating recent infections, while high avidity was found in samples from previous infections.
- The findings suggest that IgG avidity can effectively distinguish between recent and past WNV infections, with a strong inverse relationship between IgM levels and avidity, indicating that IgG avidity tests may not be necessary for patients with very high IgM levels.
The aim of this study was the determination of bacteria present in maxillary and ethmoid cavities in patients with chronic sinusitis and to correlate these findings with bacteria simultaneously present in their nasopharynx. The purpose of this correlation was to establish the role of bacteria found in chronically inflamed sinuses and to evaluate if the bacteria present colonized or infected sinus mucosa. Nasopharyngeal and sinus swabs of 65 patients that underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery were cultivated and at the same time the presence of leukocytes were determined in each swab.
