Article Synopsis
- - Universal antifungal treatment is recommended for hematology patients during chemotherapy to prevent invasive aspergillosis (IA), but challenges persist in resource-limited areas; identifying at-risk individuals could improve outcomes.
- - A pilot study in Thailand from April 2021 to January 2023 focused on the potential of nasal wash galactomannan (GM) tests as a predictor for IA in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and those undergoing stem cell transplantation (SCT).
- - Of the 34 enrolled patients, 52.9% were diagnosed with IA after six months, but nasal wash GM had limited predictive value, with sensitivity of 40% and specificity of 80%; further research is needed to strengthen
Background: Adjustment of immunosuppression is the main therapy for BK polyomavirus (BKPyV)-associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN) after kidney transplantation (KT). Studies of BKPyV-specific T cell immune response are scarce. Here, we investigated BKPyV-specific T cell immunity in KT recipients diagnosed with BKPyVAN.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a 20-year retrospective study of KT recipients who were diagnosed with laboratory-confirmed dengue from January 1997 to September 2017 according to the 2009 World Health Organization (WHO) classification.
Background: HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) is the major cause of treatment failure after scaling up of antiretroviral therapy (ART). HIVDR testing prior to ART initiation is not routinely performed in resource-limited settings. We aimed to assess the prevalence of primary HIVDR by short reverse transcriptase (RT) genotypic resistance assay and evaluate of the impact of the mutations on the treatment outcomes.
