Lack of neutralizing antibodies against influenza A viruses in adults during the 2022/2023 winter season – a serological study using retrospective samples collected in Hong Kong
Hong Kong adopted long and stringent non-pharmaceutical interventions during the period of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. A significantly decreased activity of influenza A viruses was also observed since 2020 as recorded by the weekly influenza surveillance (https://www.chp.gov.hk/en/resources/29/304.html), especially after the social distancing and mandatory mask-wearing regulation came into effect [1]. It is expected that influenza virus outbreak will re-emerge after easing of these restrictions in post COVID-19 era.

Late Diagnosis at Entry on Care in an HIV Clinic in Mexico City: Possibly COVID-19 Pandemic Impact
CONCLUSION: Despite the progressive decrease in late diagnosis prevalence in our population, it remains high. Even more, our results documented a possible increase in the prevalence of late diagnosis associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings highlight the need to prioritize interventions to evaluate and reverse pandemic effects on people living with HIV care.PMID:37461347 | DOI:10.2174/1570162X21666230717150555

Picolinic acid is a broad-spectrum inhibitor of enveloped virus entry that restricts SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A virus in vivo
Cell Rep Med. 2023 Jul 13:101127. doi: 10.1016/j.xcrm.2023.101127. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic highlights an urgent need for effective antivirals. Targeting host processes co-opted by viruses is an attractive antiviral strategy with a high resistance barrier. Picolinic acid (PA) is a tryptophan metabolite endogenously produced in mammals. Here, we report the broad-spectrum antiviral activity of PA against enveloped viruses, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), influenza A virus (IAV), flaviviruses, herpes simplex virus, and parainfluenza virus. Mechanistic studies ...

Clinico-Demographic Profiles of Herpes Zoster Cases in Patients With and Without COVID-19 Infection During the Pandemic: A Retrospective Analysis of 32 Cases
CONCLUSION: The present retrospective analysis of 32 cases indicates that persons who suffered from COVID-19 and presented with HZ were likely to have a higher chance of multi-dermatomal and disseminated involvement. While our analysis cannot establish a true association between COVID-19 infection and HZ reactivation, which will require a large-scale study, clinicians might get a clue of the possible progression of the extent of HZ manifestations from our findings.PMID:37425608 | PMC:PMC10325950 | DOI:10.7759/cureus.40063
