Association of Prenatal Antibiotics and Mode of Birth With Otolaryngology Surgery in Offspring: A National Data Linkage Study
Conclusions: Antibiotic exposure in pregnancy and cesarean section may adversely affect early immune development and increase the risk of recurrent upper airway infections and allergy/atopy that may require otolaryngology surgery. Mechanistic studies are warranted to explore genetic and/or molecular pathways that explain these findings. This may identify potential therapeutic targets to reduce the burden of otolaryngology surgery.

Factors associated with severity of atopic dermatitis - a Finnish cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Severity determinants in Finnish patients seem to be early-onset, male sex, smoking, overweight, concomitant asthma, palmar hyperlinearity, hand dermatitis and high IgE-levels. A sub-typing of patients in relation to confirmed severity determinants may be useful for course prediction, prognosis, and targeted AD management.PMID:35766133 | DOI:10.1111/jdv.18378

Toxoplasmosis mimicking CMV chorioretinitis in newly diagnosed PLWH: a case report
CONCLUSIONS: despite progressive developments in the management of PLWH, in this case two different kind of opportunistic infection are found in a late-presenter patient. In particular, two aspects can be highlighted. The first one is that, in the setting of an highly impaired immune system, clinical presentation can be deceptive and more than one opportunistic infection can be observed together in the same patient. The second aspect is that after starting antiretroviral therapy, a rapid improvement of viro-immunologic parameters has been documented, probably leading to an immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS)...

Bacterial infection in mosquitoes renders them immune to malaria parasites
(NIH/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) Scientists funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, have established an inheritable bacterial infection in malaria-transmitting Anopheles mosquitoes that renders them immune to malaria parasites. Specifically, the scientists infected the mosquitoes with Wolbachia, a bacterium common among insects that previously has been shown to prevent malaria-inducing Plasmodium parasites from developing in Anopheles mosquitoes.

Prevalence and risk factors associated to pruritus in Plasmodium vivax patients using chloroquine in the Brazilian Amazon.
This study aimed to estimate the frequency of pruritus and associated risk factors in P. vivax-infected patients treated with chloroquine in a reference centre in the Brazilian Amazon. In this cross-sectional study, patients who were prescribed with chloroquine for the treatment of microscopy-confirmed P. vivax infection in the past five days were actively asked about the occurrence of any level of pruritus and potential risk factors were investigated. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression was performed for the analysis of possible risk factors in two sets of patients: (1) all the patients interviewed and (2) r...

NIH scientists develop new tests to detect drug-resistant malaria
(NIH/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) Researchers have developed two tests that can discern within three days whether the malaria parasites in a given patient will be resistant or susceptible to artemisinin, the key drug used to treat malaria. The tests were developed by researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, working with French and Cambodian colleagues in Cambodia.

La Jolla Institute scientist identifies helper cells that trigger potent responses to HIV
(La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology) A major new finding that will significantly advance efforts to create the world's first antibody-based AIDS vaccine was published today by researchers from the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology.La Jolla Institute scientist Shane Crotty, Ph.D., a respected vaccine researcher and member of one of the nation's top AIDS vaccine consortiums, showed that certain helper T cells are important for triggering a strong antibody response against HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
