Dried blood spots: An evaluation of utility in the field
Use of dried blood spots (DBS) offers advantages over serum samples in studies conducted in resource-poor settings. The aim of this study was to compare the number of adequate spots collected across different demographic groups. (Source: Journal of Infection and Public Health)

Systemic cryptococcosis in an immune-competent child
We report a case of disseminated cryptococcosis in a young child in whom no immune deficiency was yet identified. A 4-year-old child presented with high-grade fever, intermittent abdominal pain and generalized skin eruptions for the past two months. He had pallor, firm lymphadenopathy, skin lesions with scarring and firm hepatosplenomegaly. (Source: Journal of Infection and Public Health)

Comparative non-metric and morphometric analyses of rats at residential halls of the University of Benin campus, Nigeria
In mammals and across rat species, the variation in conformation is markedly observed in the head and the variation in the shape of the head is mostly determined by the shape of the skull. Hence comparative topographic analysis and morphometry is a veritable tool in precise categorization of peri-domestic rats and species identification. (Source: Journal of Infection and Public Health)

Molecular characterization of lower vaginal swabs for Human papilloma virus in association with Chlamydia trachomatis infection in Cameroonian Women
Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is an etiological factor for cervical cancer development and Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) is considered as a cofactor. Understanding the dynamics of HPV and Ct infection could help to explain the incidence of early onset of cervical cancer (CC) observed in Cameroon.Lower vaginal swabs and sera from sexually active women were analyzed for HPV and Ct infection in association with risk factors. Questionnaires were used to document patients ’ lifestyle and risk factors. (Source: Journal of Infection and Public Health)

Risk of pneumonia in patients with insomnia: A nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study
This study was a population-based retrospective cohort study on a cohort of 8061 patients with insomnia and a control cohort of 16,112 patients (matched by age, sex, and year of diagnosis) from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database for the 2000 –2010 period.Overall incidence of pneumonia was 50.6 per 1000 person-years in the insomnia cohort, which was significantly higher than that in the control cohort (30.9 per 1000 person-years).

Remitting infections due to community-acquired Panton –Valentine leukocidin-producing Staphylococcus aureus in the Milan area
We describe an outbreak of recurrent cutaneous PVL infections in different members of three family clusters. Molecular investigations were performed to confirm the presence of the mecA and PVL genes and to assign the SCCmec type, sequence type (ST) and clonal relatedne ss. A strain of PVL-producing methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) was responsible for infection in two related families (A and B), and a third family (C) was infected with PVL-producing methicillin-sensitive S.
