The pathogenic oomycete Pythium insidiosum causes a fatal infectious illness known as pythiosis, impacting humans and certain animals in numerous countries in the tropics and subtropics. Delayed diagnosis is a primary factor contributing to the heightened morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. Several new serodiagnostic methods have been developed to improve the identification of pythiosis.

Kaempferol (Kae) is a flavonoid that has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. In recent years, there have been increasing reports on viral infection-induced Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) with high rates of disability and fatality. Therefore, in order to search for effective peripheral nerve injury repair drugs, we used rats with experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN) as the typical animal model for GBS, and implemented Kae treatment intervention on EAN rats.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the relationship between pancytopenia (a decrease in blood cells) and disseminated histoplasmosis, noting that this connection is rarely documented in existing literature.
  • The authors reviewed 72 cases worldwide, primarily from the Americas, finding that many patients had underlying conditions, such as HIV and haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.
  • Recovery rates were relatively high at 73.6%, but significant mortality was attributed to diagnostic delays and complications, indicating that early recognition of pancytopenia may be crucial for better patient outcomes.

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an enveloped positive-sense RNA virus, is a member of the alphaviruses and cause fever and arthralgia in humans. We performed genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9-based screens and identified Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1) as an essential cellular factor for CHIKV. Deficiency of YBX1 inhibited CHIKV RNA replication and impaired virus production.
