Background: In this case, we report multiple isolations of C. jejuni in a patient with common variable immunodeficiency between 2010 and 2018.
Methods: C. jejuni was investigated in the stool samples of the patient by classical culture method using selective media under microaerophilic atmosphere. Antibiotic susceptibilities of the strains were determined by disk diffusion method.
Results: Eight C. jejuni strains were isolated from the patient. All strains were resistant to ciprofloxacin. An erythromycin susceptible isolate was replaced by a resistant strain within a one- and four-month period. An erythromycin resistant isolate was replaced by a susceptible one within a year. The patient recovered all episodes by intravenous immunoglobulin replacement and antibiotherapy.
Conclusions: Prolonged or recurrent C. jejuni infections should not be overlooked in immunosuppressed patients. The fact that antibiotic susceptibility may change should also be kept in mind.

Giant ovarian cysts (GOCs) have become less common in developed countries due to routine health screenings, but they remain prevalent in economically underdeveloped regions. Treatment options for GOCs depend on factors such as age, cyst characteristics, and pregnancy status. Minimally invasive single-port laparoscopic surgery has largely replaced traditional open surgery due to its aesthetic advantages and effectiveness.

Little is known about the genetic diversity of enteroviruses and rhinoviruses in pediatric patients with acute respiratory infections in Russia. We assessed the prevalence of human rhinoviruses/enteroviruses (HRV/EV) in 1992 children aged 0 to 17 years hospitalized with acute respiratory infections during the 2023-2024 epidemic season using PCR.

Hypercoagulation is central to the pathogenesis of acute and post-acute COVID-19. This prospective observational study explored whether rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), a method that unveils coagulation status, predicts outcomes of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. We investigated 62 patients using ROTEM that was conducted at enrollment, clinical deterioration, discharge and follow-up visits 1 and 3 months post-discharge.

The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants has heightened concerns about vaccine efficacy, posing challenges in controlling the spread of COVID-19. As part of the COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness and Variants (COVVAR) study in Uganda, this study aimed to genotype and characterize SARS-CoV-2 variants in patients with COVID-19-like symptoms who tested positive on a real-time PCR. Amplicon deep sequencing was performed on 163 oropharyngeal/nasopharyngeal swabs collected from symptomatic patients.

Introduction: The development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common and significant complication, contributing to morbidity after liver transplantation (LT). Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is common in the overall population, and relevant reinfection after LT may occur. CMV-associated kidney damage has been discussed, but the clinical significance on CKD development after LT remains unclear.
