From COVID pandemic spread until now, many HSCT unrelated donor registries recommend as a precaution a systematic COVID-19 testing for all donors during the precollection time. Literature is quite poor to support this systematic attitude. We report one sibling allogeneic HSCT which we proceeded despite a positive COVID test on related asymptomatic donor and summarize the all seven cases reported until now. We suggest to question this systematic COVID testing, two years after pandemic began, when there is no systematic testing on other blood products received during all the haematological malignancies treatment process.

Outcomes of surgical patients in a tertiary ICU with incidental COVID-19 in comparison with COVID-19 naïve patients.
S Afr J Surg
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Tygerberg Hospital, Stellenbosch University, South Africa.
Background: COVID-19 was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, where it spread over a wide geographic area until it reached the status of a pandemic in 2020. We postulated that patients who were diagnosed with incidental COVID-19, and underwent surgery, did not have a worse outcome due to the COVID-19 virus compared to their counterparts who did not have the virus.
Methods: This retrospective study included surgical patients (COVID-19 incidentals and COVID-19 negatives) who were admitted to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) at Tygerberg Academic Hospital between 1 May 2020 and 31 December 2021.
SARS-CoV-2 surveillance in a hospital and control of an outbreak on a geriatric ward using whole genome sequencing.

SARS-CoV-2 Sequencing Consortium, University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Mainz, Germany.
Background: During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, dominant viral variants were repeatedly replaced by new variants with altered properties, frequently changing the dynamics of the infection event, as well as the effectiveness of vaccines and therapeutics. SARS-CoV-2 variant monitoring by whole genome sequencing was established at the University Medical Center Mainz, Germany to support patient management during the pandemic.
Methods: SARS-CoV-2 RNA samples from the University Medical Center were analysed weekly with whole genome sequencing.
Invasive aspergillosis in critically ill patients with diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

State Key Lab of Respiratory Diseases, Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Health, Department of Critical Care Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, 151 Yanjiang Street West, Guangzhou, 510120, Guangdong, China.
Background: In the intensive care unit (ICU), invasive aspergillosis (IA) has a poor prognosis. Some studies report a positive association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and IA in critically ill patients, but the relationship between DM and IA in the ICU remains controversial. We aimed to clarify the relationship between DM and IA among patients in the ICU in a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: An estimated 10-30% of people with COVID-19 experience debilitating long-term symptoms or long covid. Underlying health conditions associated with chronic inflammation may increase the risk of long covid.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine whether long covid risk was altered by pre-existing asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults.

Background: Viremia has been detected in a significant proportion of patients with acute respiratory viral infection, yet its clinical value remains underappreciated.
Objectives: This study synthesized available evidence to comprehensively assess the prevalence of viremia and its impact on clinical outcomes.
Data Sources: Data were retrieved from Medline (via Ovid), Embase, and the WHO COVID-19 database.
