Article Synopsis
- Human Pegivirus-1 (HPgV-1) is commonly found in humans but its effects on pediatric cancer patients with febrile neutropenia (FN) are not well-studied.
- In a study analyzing 30 children, it was found that 23.3% had detectable HPgV-1 RNA, with slightly higher rates in those with FN (26.7%).
- The predominant strain in the samples was identified as HPgV-1 genotype 2, prompting further research into its potential impact on FN and the health of immunocompromised patients.
Introduction: Early intervention and parental education for preemies are limited in some low-income countries. Thus, this study aimed to assess whether daily tummy time (TT) associated with usual care (UC) enhances motor and cognitive development in preemies from low-income countries. The main and secondary aim was to assess prone head elevation (PHE) and motor and cognitive functions, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- Respiratory illnesses caused by viral infections affect all age groups but are challenging to diagnose due to overlapping symptoms and incomplete local diagnostic panels.
- A metagenomic study of 66 nasopharyngeal swab samples from patients with acute respiratory issues revealed significant undetected viruses, like rhinoviruses and enterovirus D68, as well as other notable viruses such as human herpesvirus and human parvovirus B19.
- The findings highlight the critical role of viral metagenomics in uncovering overlooked viruses, which could inform public health strategies to improve diagnostics and patient care.
Dengue virus (DENV) is currently causing epidemics of unprecedented scope in endemic settings and expanding to new geographical areas. It is therefore critical to track this virus using genomic surveillance. However, the complex patterns of viral genomic diversity make it challenging to use the existing genotype classification system.
