Seroprevalence and Associated Factors of HBV and HCV among Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Care at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: A Cross-Sectional Study
CONCLUSION: HBV infection in pregnant women was shown to have a high endemicity (13%) in this investigation, whereas the seroprevalence of HCV infection was low (0.5%). HBV infection was significantly associated with a history of blood transfusions, tattooing, and dental therapy. Screening pregnant women for HBV and HCV infections and providing effective therapy would ensure better outcomes for the newborn. In addition, health education must be used to increase knowledge of screening and modes of transmission.PMID:37576850 | PMC:PMC10413223 | DOI:10.1155/2023/2282673 (Source: International Journal of Microbiology)

Description of < em > Streptococcus thalassemiae < /em > sp. nov., a Bacterium Isolated from Human Blood
Int J Microbiol. 2023 Aug 1;2023:3802590. doi: 10.1155/2023/3802590. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTBlood is a precious biological liquid that is normally sterile. Therefore, bacteria in the bloodstream are shown a priori anomaly. A blood culture is systematically performed to diagnose the cause of the bacteremia. Indeed, a patient received in our service had a thalassemia major and underwent a genoidentical transplant. Then, a blood test was performed to diagnose a four-day fever. In this context, we have isolated strain Marseille-Q2617 from the blood sample. It revealed a new bacterial strain that belongs to the genus Streptoc...

Occurrence of Heat-Resistant Mold Ascospores in Pineapple and Sugarcane Field Soils in Thailand
Int J Microbiol. 2023 Jul 27;2023:8347560. doi: 10.1155/2023/8347560. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTHeat-resistant molds (HRMs) are important spoilage fungi of heat-processed fruit products worldwide. Ascospores of HRMs are widely distributed in the soil in which fruits are grown and are often found associated with raw fruit materials. To date, there is little available information on the distribution of HRMs in the soil and on their heat resistance. Thus, this study determined the presence and characterized the heat resistance of HRMs in soil samples from pineapple and sugarcane fields in Thailand. HRMs were detected in all so...

A Comprehensive Review on HIV-Associated Dermatologic Manifestations: From Epidemiology to Clinical Management
Int J Microbiol. 2023 Jul 18;2023:6203193. doi: 10.1155/2023/6203193. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTDermatological disorders are among the most prevalent manifestations of HIV infection/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In this review, we aimed to characterize the various dermatologic presentations among HIV-infected patients with a detailed categorization of the mucocutaneous signs and symptoms, their etiopathogenic factors, and clinical management. In fact, cutaneous manifestations of HIV are quite various, ranging from AIDS-specific skin eruptions (xerosis, pruritic papular eruptions, eosinophilic folliculitis, and ...
