Background/objectives: Spain has been in a measles elimination phase since 2014. No evidence exists about the distribution of measles cases among the population born outside Spain. The aim of this study was thus to describe the epidemiological situation of measles, stratified by place of birth, during the post-elimination period in Spain.

Background: The cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary inflammatory disease clinically characterized by three overlapping types and associated with interleukin (IL)-1β.We reported a rare case of CAPS in a patient with accompanying symptoms such as growth retardation and urticaria-like rash. These clinical manifestations were caused by mutations in the NALP3 gene.

Background: Coxsackievirus (CV) A6 has emerged as an important causative agent in global outbreaks of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), which typically presents as a mild illness with a large generalized rash, herpes. However, some patients can develop encephalitis, pneumonia, myocarditis and liver injury. Our previous study took the view that CVA6 could replicate in mouse liver, leading to acute liver injury; however, the precise underlying mechanism remains elusive.

It is a major cause of hearing loss and brain damage. Women may get CMV infection for the first time during pregnancy (primary infection) or may experience 'non-primary' infection, either by reactivation of previous CMV infection or by a new infection with a different strain of the virus.

Background: The rubella virus is a major contributor to birth defects globally and is preventable by vaccination. In 2020, the world was supposed to be free of both rubella and Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS) however this goal has yet to be realized with only 93 out of 194 WHO member states confirmed rubella-free in 2020.
Methods: A retrospective measles and rubella case-based surveillance data record review was conducted from 2018 to 2022 to document rubella epidemiology after the introduction of rubella vaccination in Lesotho and progress toward elimination.
