Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of infection may cause severe illness in patients suffering a secondary infection by a heterologous dengue virus (DENV) serotype. During ADE of infection, cross-reactive non- or poorly-neutralizing antibodies form infectious virus-Ab complexes with the newly infecting serotype and enhance virus infection by binding to the Fcγ receptors (FcγR) on FcγR-bearing cells. In this study, we determined that molecular determinants of DENV2 envelope protein critical for virus entry during non-ADE infection are also required for ADE infection mediated by FcγRIIA, and binding of virus-Ab complexes with FcγRIIA alone is not sufficient for ADE of infection. The FcγRIIA mainly plays an auxiliary role in concentrating the virus-Ab complex to the cell surface, and other primary cellular receptors are required for virus entry. Understanding the viral entry pathway in ADE of DENV infection will greatly facilitate rational designs of anti-viral therapeutics against severe dengue disease associated with ADE.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate and understand the safety profile of Genvoya by mining and analyzing adverse drug event (ADE, adverse drug event) reports from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS, FDA Adverse Event Reporting System) database, thus providing valuable reference information for individuals infected with HIV.
Methods: Data were obtained from the FAERS database, covering the period from the first quarter of 2015 to the fourth quarter of 2023, focusing on reports where Genvoya was the primary suspected drug. Data import and extraction were conducted using MySQL 8.

Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) is an immunological paradox whereby sensitization following a primary viral infection results in the subsequent enhancement of a similar secondary infection. This idiosyncratic immune response has been established in dengue virus infections, driven by four antigenically related serotypes co-circulating in endemic regions. Several coronaviruses exhibit antibody-mediated mechanisms of viral entry, which has led to speculation of an ADE capacity for SARS-CoV-2, though in vivo and epidemiological evidence do not currently support this phenomenon.

Purpose: Critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are frequently prescribed antibiotics, with many reporting an antibiotic allergy label, predominantly to penicillin. Mislabeling contributes to suboptimal antibiotic use, increasing multidrug-resistant organisms and Clostridium difficile infections, and increased hospital length of stay. This prospective study implemented an antibiotic allergy assessment and testing program in the ICU, independently of clinical immunology/allergy services.
