Rapidly spreading Omicron (B1.1.529) poses a considerable health risk, despite being labeled as a mild SARS-CoV2 oval hexagon glass jar variant.The higher transmissibility, immune evasion properties along blunting the effect of vaccine are some of its unique features, a fact that should not be ignored, no matter how benign it might be.We suggest th
Nodular Lymphangitis (Sporotrichoid Lymphocutaneous Infections). Clues to Differential Diagnosis
Nodular lymphangitis, also known as sporotrichoid lymphocutaneous infections, is characterized by suppurative inflammatory nodules along the lymphatic vessels.This manifestation is classic of sporotrichosis, however, other infections such as nocardiosis, atypical mycobacteriosis, leishmaniasis, among others, can also express this clinical pattern.S
The effects of host diversity on vector-borne disease: the conditions under which diversity will amplify or dilute the disease risk.
Multihost vector-borne infectious diseases form a significant fraction of the global infectious disease burden.In this study we explore the relationship between host diversity, vector behavior, and disease risk.To this end, we have developed a new dynamic model which includes two distinct host species and one vector species with variable preference
Transitory absence of ABO antibodies during severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection
Since the advent of the pandemic, ABO blood group has a role in the immunopathogenesis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.Disagreement between forward and reverse typing leads to ABO discrepancy which arise either due to intrinsic problems or from the technical errors in performing the test.Here, we document t
