HIV researcher will head NIH ’s infectious disease institute
The infectious disease institute at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) will soon have its first new chief in nearly 4 decades. Jeanne Marrazzo, an expert on sexually transmitted infections, will become director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in the fall. She will succeed Anthony Fauci, who stepped down in December 2022 after 38 years at NIAID’s helm. Marrazzo, 61, currently directs the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). A physician and epidemiologist, she has expertise in HIV prevention, vaginal infections, horm...

Did the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic change asthma prevalence?
Circulating coronaviruses have been associated with asthma exacerbations; however, early in the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, asthma exacerbations decreased.1 Similarly, other pandemic coronaviruses (sever acute respiratory syndrome [SARS] and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) have not been associated with asthma exacerbations.2 However, as SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) becomes less virulent and more like the circulating non-pandemic coronaviruses, there have been reports that asthma exacerbations are increasing.

The Use and Teaching of Telemedicine in Allergy/Immunology Training Programs
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe use of telemedicine has greatly increased since the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This review discusses the types of telemedicine, current telehealth curricula in medical education, and benefits and disadvantages of incorporation of telemedicine into Allergy/Immunology training programs.Recent FindingsThe majority of Allergists/Immunologists use telemedicine in their clinical practice with leaders in graduate medical education recommending inclusion of telemedicine in training. Fellows-in-training reported that use of telemedicine in Allergy/Immunology training duri...

Health Status and Inconveniences of Asthmatic Children During the First Year of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Iran J Allergy Asthma Immunol. 2023 Jun 16;22(3):245-253. doi: 10.18502/ijaai.v22i3.13052.ABSTRACTThe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been the most significant health concern in recent years, with respiratory symptoms being the most prominent. In children, asthma is the most prevalent chronic disease. Due to the similarities between the symptoms of these two conditions, we sought to assess the general health status of pediatric patients with asthma and their COVID-19-related difficulties during the first year of the pandemic in Iran. We collected data for this study by administering a questionnaire to the ...

Exosomes from Adipose Tissue-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Induce Regulatory T Cells in COVID-19 Patients
This study aimed to assess the effect of MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-Exo) on the differentiation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) into Tregs from patients with COVID-19. Exosomes were isolated from adipose tissue-derived MSCs. PBMCs were separated from the whole blood of COVID-19 patients (n=20). Treg frequency was assessed before and 48 hours after treatment of PBMCs with MSC-Exo using flow cytometry. Expression of FOXP3 and cytokine genes, and the concentration of cytokines associated with Tregs, were assessed before and after treatment with MSC-Exo. The frequency of CD4+CD25+CD127- Tregs was significantly hig...

Immune Profiling of SARS-CoV-2; What We Know and What We Don't Know
Iran J Allergy Asthma Immunol. 2023 Jun 16;22(3):217-232. doi: 10.18502/ijaai.v22i3.13050.ABSTRACTCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), described as World War 3, is the current worldwide health challenge and nearly all countries have so far faced this disaster. There is still no cure because of the complicated pathogenesis, however, there are several studies on track investigating different aspects of the immune response to the virus. In this review, we will provide an overview of recent investigations that have analyzed immune cells in patients with COVID-19. We will then discuss the differences in immune profiles between ...
