Genotyping methods and their contributions to the study of tuberculosis dynamic in Latin America
Conclusions: The data obtained demonstrated the importance of expanding collaborative networks of tuberculosis (TB) research groups to countries with low productivity in this area, the commitment of the few Latin American countries to advance TB research, as well as the inestimable value of building a Latin America database, considering ease of population mobility between countries.

Myositis-specific autoantibodies in a non-traveler, patient from a non-endemic country, with Plasmodium vivax malaria
Conclusions: Malaria would not normally be considered during the initial diagnostic workup in a non-traveler and a patient from a non-endemic country. However, a thorough parasitic evaluation in patients presenting with a broad range of autoantibodies might be of particular importance. (Source: The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries)

Stevens-Johnson syndrome: a case report of possible cephalosporin-induced cutaneous adverse reaction
We describe the clinical history of a 55-year-old Caucasian woman who was exposed to cephalosporins.In resource-constrained countries and hospitals where cutaneous biopsy is not readily available, it is not easy to diagnose Steven Johnson Syndrome. This is particularly true in countries where the incidence of infectious diseases such as scarlet fever and measles is high and the early symptoms of SJS can be mistaken for these conditions. We used the Naronjo scale to confirm the probable association of the drug with the syndrome. Physicians while writing prescriptions for their patients need to warn them of potential side ef...

Diagnostic and prognostic values of immunocyte ratios in patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit
Conclusions: Both N/LPR and CRP*PCT had high values to predict mortality in sepsis patients. CRP*PCT, PDW/PC and MPV/PC were independent factors to predict the prognosis of sepsis. (Source: The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries)

PNI, NLR and PLR combined detection prognosis of patients with chronic hepatitis C-associated cirrhosis complicated by T2DM
Conclusions: The PNI, NLR, and PLR were closely related to the prognosis of chronic hepatitis C-associated cirrhosis complicated by T2DM, and their combined detection had the highest specificity and sensitivity for the early prediction of the poor prognosis of chronic hepatitis C-associated cirrhosis complicated by T2DM, which has important clinical value.

Neutralizing antibodies from naturally infected individuals against SARS-CoV-2 Gamma and Delta variants in the Paraguayan population
Conclusions: Our findings show that antibodies generated by non-VOC infection have reduced neutralizing capabilities against Gamma and Delta variants that appeared subsequently and might have implications for immunity strategies. (Source: The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries)

Apnea or cyanosis as COVID-19 initial presentation in newborns
Conclusions: Apnea and cyanosis can be a manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 infection in newborns, which suggests the need to include it in the diagnostic workup as other viral respiratory infections. (Source: The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries)

Relationship of angiopoietin-2 level with the prognosis of the COVID-19 disease
Conclusions: We concluded that angiopoietin-2 level in COVID-19 patients upon their presentation to the hospital might be an important parameter in predicting and ascertaining their place of hospitalization. (Source: The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries)

Clinical characteristics and risk factors associated with secondary bacterial pneumonia among COVID-19 patients in ICU
Conclusions: Secondary bacterial pneumonia was found to be associated with the severity and survival of the disease in patients admitted to ICU due to COVID-19. Duration of mechanical ventilation and use of corticosteroids and high-dose corticosteroids are risk factors for secondary bacterial pneumonia.

HBeAg testing is better than quantitative HBsAg assay as an alternative to HBV DNA assay among HBV-infected pregnant women
Conclusions: HBeAg testing should be considered over qHBsAg assay as an alternative to HBV DNA assay because of its technical simplicity, lower cost, and fewer missed treatments. (Source: The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries)

Angiogenesis and eosinophilia in the nasal mucosa of patients with different clinical phenotypes of chronic rhinosinusitis
Conclusions: Patients from AERD phenotype have the highest degree of stromal eosinophilic infiltration and endothelial proliferation in comparison to other CRS phenotypes. Eosininophil infiltration marker BMK13 correlates better with the clinical parameters of CRS in comparison to the vascular proliferation markers.

Comparison of two multiplex PCR tests for common pathogen detection in hospitalized children with acute respiratory infection
Conclusions: These two methods are comparable in detecting common pathogens of ARTIs in children. As XYres-MCA analysis is more cost-effective, it could play an important role in diagnosing ARTIs in children in less economically developed regions.

The role of TNF receptors as mediators of chronic vasculitis in possible milder forms of the CNS tuberculosis
Conclusions: The histopathological presentation of TB is not always limited to granulomas, abscesses, or meningitis; there are also clinical presentations characterized only with chronic inflammation of nervous and vascular tissue. (Source: The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries)
