Esophageal, gastric and duodenal ulcers are found in immunocompromised patients due to virus, mainly cytomegalovirus (CMV), and less frequently Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), varicella zoster virus (VZV) and herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 or 2.

Central nervous system infections (CNS) are life-threatening infections in children, requiring urgent intervention and rapid diagnosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of syndromic tests in diagnosing CNS infections and the distribution of viral pathogens in pediatric patients. A total of 145 pediatric patients with a prediagnosis of CNS infection based on clinical findings by a pediatric infectious disease specialist were included in the study.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare, life-threatening condition that may be secondary to drug-induced liver injury (DILI) and certain viral infections. We present the case of a 73-year-old male with a history of fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis with a progressive phenotype, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, who was admitted with ALF potentially secondary to DILI. Prior to admission, he was receiving therapy that may be related to idiosyncratic DILI (I-DILI) and ALF, namely nintedanib, which appears to have a most probable relation to I-DILI in this case, considering it was the most recently started drug.

Oncolytic herpes simplex viruses (oHSV) preferentially replicate in cancer cells while inducing antitumor immunity, and thus, they are often referred to as in situ cancer vaccines. OHSV infection of tumors elicits diverse host immune responses comprising both innate and adaptive components. Although the innate/adaptive immune responses primarily target the tumor, they also contribute to antiviral immunity, limiting viral replication/oncolysis.

Objective: To identify gaps in existing evidence on preconception health interventions to improve the health outcomes of adolescents, young adults, and their offspring.
Study Design: Evidence gap map (EGM) METHODS: Following the Campbell guidelines, we included reviews and interventional studies identified through searches on Medline and other electronic databases from 2010 to July 18th, 2023. Dual screening of titles/abstracts and full texts was conducted on Covidence software, followed by quality assessment and development of 2D-EGM using the EPPI-Reviewer and Mapper software.
