The immunocompromised population is susceptible to pneumonia. The diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia in immunocompromised individuals are challenging clinical endeavors. Previous studies have identified pneumonia as a potential cause of organizing pneumonia (OP), however, the association between pneumonia and OP has not received enough clinical attention. We retrospectively evaluated a case involving infection and OP in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome and concurrent Sweet syndrome. The diagnosis of pneumonia was confirmed through various methods: metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS), Giemsa-staining and fluorescence hybridization of lung tissue, as well as serum immunofluorescence antibody testing. Histopathological analysis of lung tissue revealed OP. The patient was successfully treated with a combination of antibiotics and low-dose glucocorticoids. In immunocompromised individuals, mNGS was capable of detection non- pneumophila serogroup 1. The pathological examination is important for identifying secondary OP and provides the evidence for treatment with glucocorticoids.

Introduction: Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) is a highly pathogenic, drug-resistant, and transmissible "superbug" that causes infections in hospitals and communities. Because of the lack of effective antimicrobial treatment options, morbidity and mortality from CR-hvKP infections have increased dramatically, and outbreaks and the rapid spread of CR-hvKP in hospitals have become a major global public health challenge.

Methods: The mechanisms of molecular evolution in CR-hvKP include the acquisition of a hypervirulent plasmid encoding a virulence gene by carbapenemase-producing K pneumoniae, the horizontal transfer of plasmids carrying carbapenem resistance genes to hvKP, and the acquisition of fusion plasmids carrying both carbapenem resistance genes and hypervirulent genes by classic K pneumoniae.

Introduction: Health restrictions resulting from COVID-19 made it more difficult for families to mourn. The death announcement is a significant moment for families. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences, perceptions and expectations of families who were informed of the death of a close relative in the hospital, at home or in a care home for dependent elderly people (EHPAD) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Risk of Serious Bacterial and Non-Bacterial Infections in People With MASLD.

Liver Int

April 2025

Department of Pathophysiology and Transplantation, University of Milan, Milan, Italy.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become the most common chronic liver disease globally. MASLD is a multisystem disease where metabolic dysfunction plays a key role in the development of MASLD and its most relevant liver-related morbidities and extrahepatic complications, such as cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and certain types of extrahepatic cancers. Among the least examined MASLD-related extrahepatic complications, an ever-increasing number of observational studies have reported a positive association between MASLD and the risk of serious bacterial infections (SBI) requiring hospital admission.

The progression of COVID-19 involves a sophisticated and intricate interplay between the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the host's immune response. The immune system employs both innate and adaptive mechanisms to combat infection. Innate immunity initiates the release of interferons (IFNs) and pro-inflammatory cytokines, while the adaptive immune response involves CD4+ Th lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, and CD8+ Tc cells.
