Abstract

On occasion, outbreaks of infection with adenovirus types 3, 7, and 21 cause severe lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in children. From 1990 to 1998, all cases of LRTI due to adenovirus at the Seoul National University Children's Hospital, Seoul, Korea, were reviewed. Adenoviruses were recovered from nasal aspirate specimens of 87 (5.9%) of 1472 children with LRTI. The principal adenovirus serotypes were type 2 (13 [15%] of 87 strains), type 3 (13 [15%]), and type 7 (36 [41%]). Of the 87 infections, 62 (71%) occurred in children <2 years of age, and 81 (94%) occurred in children <5 years of age. Infections due to types 3 and 7 occurred during epidemics, whereas infections due to type 2 occurred sporadically. For patients who were infected with types 3 and 7, extrapulmonary abnormalities were more common and homogeneous consolidation and pleural effusion were frequently identified on radiographs. The mortality rate was 12% overall and 19% among patients who were infected with type 7. Residual sequelae were identified in 6 (50%) of 12 patients who were infected with type 3 and in 9 (25%) of 36 who were infected with type 7. The data confirm that adenovirus types 3 and 7 can cause epidemics of severe LRTI in young childre...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
