Disseminated cytomegalovirus infection in a child with langerhans cell histiocytosis
We present a 3-year-old male child with multisystem refractory Langerhans cell histiocytosis, who had very high CMV viremia and disseminated CMV infection with secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and was successfully treated without organ damage and sequelae. Although routine screening is not recommended, CMV viremia/disease needs to be considered in non-transplant immunocompromised children with multisystem involvement with unexplained cytopenia.

Capsule-deficient cryptococcal meningitis: A diagnostic conundrum
Trupti Shende, Gagandeep Singh, Immaculata Xess, Swati Khullar, Renu Kumari Yadav, Reshu Agarwal, M Vasantha Padma SrivastavaJournal of Global Infectious Diseases 2022 14(4):165-169 Cryptococcosis is a serious systemic mycosis. Its incidence has escalated in the past four decades. Cryptococcus neoformans causes localized or disseminated infection in immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. The capsulated form is commonly encountered which can be diagnosed on an India ink preparation or antigen detection. However, the noncapsulated forms are very rare and require a high index of suspicion for correct diagnosis. Here...

Purpura fulminans and spotted fever: A case series from South India
Karthik Gunasekaran, Divyaa Elangovan, Susmitha Perumalla, Kundavaram Paul Prabhakar Abhilash, John Antony Jude PrakashJournal of Global Infectious Diseases 2022 14(4):162-164 Purpura fulminans (PF) is associated with acute infections such as meningococcal, staphylococcal, streptococcal, and rickettsial infections. However, there are only a few reports of association of PF with rickettsial fever from India. In this case series of seven adults with PF, four were definitive cases of spotted fever as the ompA real-time polymerase chain reaction was positive. The other three adults were probable cases of spotted fever, as the...

Peripheral blood mononuclear cell cytokine mRNA profiles in acute respiratory infection patients
Conclusion: Investigation of the nuances of systemic cytokine production, in response to specific viral and bacterial pathogens, makes it possible to assess the risks of developing hypercytokinemia during respiratory infection with agents circulating in the human population and to predict the pathogenicity and virulence of circulating threats.

Genotype profiles of rotavirus strains in children under 5-year-old outpatients with diarrhea in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia
Conclusions: The dominant rotavirus genotype is G1P[8], followed by G3P[8], G3P[6], G3P[9], G2P[4], and NT. The most common rotavirus positive in age group is >12–24 months and >24–59 months, while the highest percentage is at the age of ≤6 months. (Source: Journal of Global Infectious Diseases)

Identification and antifungal drug susceptibility pattern of Candida auris in India
Conclusion: Correct identification of C. auris can be obtained with the use of MALDI-TOF and sequencing methods. A small percentage of fluconazole-sensitive isolates are present. Although elevated MICs for amphotericin B and echinocandins are not generally observed, the possibility of resistance with the irrational use of these antifungal drugs cannot be denied. Pan azole-resistant and pan drug-resistant strains of C. auris are on rise. (Source: Journal of Global Infectious Diseases)
