Eosinophilia associated with Strongyloides infection, severe asthma, and central bronchiectasis
The primary causative agent of human strongyloidiasis is Strongyloides stercoralis, a soil-transmitted helminth of the Strongyloides genus.1 Although strongyloidiasis characteristically occurs through contact with contaminated soil, rare cases of human transmission have also been documented.1 The nematode can be found globally; however, its prevalence is higher in tropical and subtropical regions.1 Within the United States, the highest rates of strongyloidiasis are seen in immigrants, especially those coming from Latin American countries where intestinal parasites, such as S  stercoralis, are endemic.

Significance of coexistent granulomatous inflammation and lung cancer
Conclusions Incidental detection of granulomatous inflammation in patients undergoing lung resection for cancer, even in a TB-endemic country, may not require any intervention. Such findings may be due to either mycobacterial infection in the past or ‘sarcoid reaction’ to cancer. Although all patients should have their resected specimen sent for acid-fast bacilli culture and followed up until the culture results are reported, the initiation of the management of such patients as per existing lung cancer management guidelines does not affect their outcome adversely.

Zika virus infection as a trigger of atopic dermatitis
Zika virus (ZIKV), a single-strand RNA virus from the Flaviviridae family, has been a major worldwide public health problem primarily because of its association with congenital defects and Guillain-Barr é syndrome. The ZIKV infection was first identified in Uganda in 1947. Since the description of the endemic transmission in South and Central America in 2015, travel-associated cases have been reported in every state of the United States, except for Alaska, with locally acquired cases reported in T exas and Florida.

Sushi, cervice and gnathostomiasis - A case report and review of imported infections
We describe a case of imported cutaneous gnathostomiasis in a Thai patient living in France. Gnathostomiasis is a zoonosis of food origin. The disease is endemic in Southeast Asia and Latin America. However, over the past 30 years, an increasing number of imported cases has been described in Europe and America. The disease is rare in Western Europe and the majority of cases described had a cutaneous clinical presentation. The disease may sometimes be confused with allergy, leading to a delay in diagnosis.

An imported case of leprosy in a trainee from Indonesia to Japan
A 33-year-old Indonesian man who was visiting Japan as a trainee in agricultural sector presented to the outpatient department of dermatology with a 1-year history of progressive rash. The rash had originated on his trunk and had gradually spread to his chest, abdomen, back and arms (Figure 1). The patient was not on any medications. He also denied any history of an allergy. Polymorphic, confluent, partially raised, hypopigmented macules that had progressed slowly were observed. The lesions demonstrated associated scaling, alopecia, and anesthesia. Although a left greater auricular nerve enlargement was detected, the patie...

Susceptibility to mycobacterial disease due to mutations in IL-12R β1 in three Iranian patients
AbstractIn the last decade, autosomal recessive interleukin-12 receptor β1 (IL-12Rβ1) deficiency, the most common cause of Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD), has been diagnosed in a few children and adults with severe tuberculosis in Iran. Here, we report three cases referred to the Immunology, Asthma and Allergy ward at the National Research In stitute of Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases (NRITLD) at Masih Daneshvari Hospital from 2012 to 2017 with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria infections due to defects in IL-12Rβ1 but with different clinical manifestations. All three w...

Long-term effectiveness of one and two doses of a killed, bivalent, whole-cell oral cholera vaccine in Haiti: an extended case-control study
Publication date: September 2018Source: The Lancet Global Health, Volume 6, Issue 9Author(s): Molly F Franke, Ralph Ternier, J Gregory Jerome, Wilfredo R Matias, Jason B Harris, Louise C IversSummaryBackgroundNo study of long-term protection following killed oral cholera vaccination has been done outside of the historically cholera-endemic areas of south Asia, or has examined protection after a single-dose vaccination regimen. To address this, we examined the duration of protection of the standard two-dose regimen and an incomplete regimen of one dose up to 4 years after vaccination in Haiti.MethodsIn the setting of two-do...

Determinants of low measles vaccination coverage in children living in an endemic area
Conclusion: We reported inadequate measles immunization rate in Southern Italy, with lowest rates in children ≤ 2 years or with underlying conditions. Only a minority had true contraindications to vaccine uptake. Implementation strategies addressed to health-care professionals and families should focus on the reported determinants to increase measles vaccination coverage.What is Known:• Measles is a viral, highly communicable disease, preventable by vaccine.• Measles elimination in Europe failed as demonstrated by outbreaks in several countries, due to low immunization rates.What is New:• Inadequate measles immu...
