Article Synopsis
- Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has emerged as a significant public health challenge, marked by rising incidence, severity, and mortality rates associated with intense inflammation.
- The study utilized Raman microspectroscopy to analyze changes in individual erythrocytes, finding notable differences in the Raman spectra between the start of hospitalization and one week into treatment, indicating inflammation levels.
- Key findings include enhanced vibrations related to protein conformation changes and oxygenated hemoglobin levels, suggesting that CDI toxins adversely affect cellular proteins, contributing to disease pathogenicity.
Atypical Gianotti-Crosti syndrome in two HIV and hepatitis B co-infected adults.

We describe an atypical Gianotti-Crosti syndrome in two 43-year-old, unrelated adult male patients with coexistent hepatitis B and HIV infection. Both cases shared many of the hallmarks of childhood Gianotti-Crosti syndrome. We believe that this is the first report in the literature of a Gianotti-Crosti syndrome-like paraviral eruption in HIV and hepatitis B positive adults.
