COVID-19 patients are prone to coinfections during their hospitalization. These coinfections are challenging as they involve longer hospital stays, high costs, and higher risk of mortality. Here, we present a case of a patient with multi-infection by resistant parasites, fungi, and bacteria during his hospitalization in a hospital in Lima, Peru.

Health Technology Assessment Unit, Hospital Universitario Ramón y Cajal and Universidad de Alcalá (IRYCIS), CIBER Epidemiology and Public Health (CIBERESP), Madrid, Spain.
The aim was to assess the efficacy of ivermectin moxidectin for treating infection. Ovid MEDLINE, Embase and Web of Science databases were searched for studies comparing ivermectin and moxidectin from inception to February 2024. The outcomes: elimination of infection or parasitological cure, mortality and serious adverse events.

In Brazil, Visceral Leishmaniases is caused by Leishmania infantum, and domestic dogs are the main reservoirs in its urban transmission cycle. As an alternative to euthanizing dogs, miltefosine has been used to treat canine visceral leishmaniasis since 2016. In this study, we have assessed the efficacy of miltefosine for treating canine visceral leishmaniasis in a new endemic area through follow-up of naturally infected dogs was evaluated.

Background: Diseases in humans caused by amphizoic amoebae that can result in visual impairment and even blindness, have recently been identified more frequently worldwide. Etiologically complex incidents of keratitis, including those connected with strains detected in Poland, were evaluated in this study.
Methods: Corneal samples from cases resistant to antimicrobial therapy assessed for epidemiological, microbiological and parasitological aspects were investigated by phase-contrast microscope, slit lamp and by confocal microscopy.

Article Synopsis
- - Human strongyloidiasis is often misdiagnosed due to a lack of awareness about the crucial developmental stages of the parasite, particularly the fourth-stage larvae (L4a).
- - This study reports the successful identification of these L4a larvae in two clinical cases in Australia using direct wet-mount microscopy methods on sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage samples.
- - It highlights important morphological characteristics of L4a, such as its conical tail and mature genital features, to improve diagnostic accuracy for parasitological laboratories.
