Triple Burden: The Incorrigible Threat of Tuberculosis, HIV, and COVID-19
Infect Disord Drug Targets. 2023 Nov 6. doi: 10.2174/0118715265259959231031104820. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) hasn't seen the dawn since its emergence, however waxing and waning has resulted in the emergence of deadly variants. The effects of the pandemic have not been limited to its virulence, but have rather conferred multiple collateral effects, especially in developing countries; thereby, designating it as a SYNDEMIC. The same culminated in neglect of non-COVID-19 conditions like tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). Besides be...

Overview of Human Papillomavirus Infection
Infect Disord Drug Targets. 2023 Nov 3. doi: 10.2174/0118715265257105231025112708. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHuman papillomavirus (HPV) is a DNA oncogenic virus. HPV infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease, and is capable of infecting mucosal and cutaneous membranes of the anogenital, upper aerodigestive tract, and other head and neck mucosal regions. Although HPV infection is generally asymptomatic and can be easily resolved by the immune system, if it persists and progresses, it can lead to cancer. HPV is permanently responsible for 5% of human cancers. Malignant lesions related to HPV include oral ...

Monitoring the Serotype Prevalence of Streptococcus pneumoniae over a Decade in Iran: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Based on our pooled results, the majority of the serotypes of pneumococci in the Iranian population were 23F, 19F, and 19A, respectively, over the last decade. The findings can be valuable in selecting effective pneumococcal vaccine candidates and targeted antibiotics in Iranian patients.PMID:37937572 | DOI:10.2174/0118715265265907231025111012 (Source: Infectious Disorders Drug Targets)

Estimating the Size of the Hidden Population of COVID-19
CONCLUSIONS: The study findings indicate that the estimated 'true' numbers of COVID-19 patients in one town in Iran were significantly higher compared to the official numbers. The RDS method can help capture the potential size of infections in further pandemics or outbreaks globally.PMID:37909430 | DOI:10.2174/0118715265255039231018113634 (Source: Infectious Disorders Drug Targets)

An Overview of the Global Alarming Increase of Multiple Drug Resistant: A Major Challenge in Clinical Diagnosis
Infect Disord Drug Targets. 2023 Oct 31. doi: 10.2174/1871526523666230725103902. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe increased spreading of antibiotic resistance among different infectious agents has been a fast-growing public health challenge worldwide; this is because of the discovery of new resistance mechanisms and the reduction in quality and effective treatments of general pathogenic infections. This has caused unsuccessful microbial responses to standard therapy, which could lead to a higher risk of mortality, prolonged illness, and more expenditures for health care. Most parasites, bacteria, fungi, and viruses can pr...

An Overview of Conventional and Black Cumin Seeds (Nigella sativa) Therapy in the Management of Nipah Viral Infection
Infect Disord Drug Targets. 2023 Oct 25. doi: 10.2174/0118715265258029231017112421. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe recent outbreaks of Nipah viral infection were associated with severe respiratory illness, lethal encephalitis, and an extremely high mortality rate. As there are no approved antiviral medications, patients with NiV infections are currently treated with repurposed or investigational antivirals and supportive care. This review examines the potential health benefits of N. sativa in the treatment of NiV infection. To identify relevant studies, the literature was searched in online databases like Medline/PubMed...
