A prospective investigational study of vitamin D status in patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia, 2023.05.16,
https://doi.org/10.1093/rpsppr/rqad018 .
Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is the most common healthcare-associated infection (HCAI) contributing to death. Rising antimicrobial resistance has resulted in few effective antibiotics for HAP. Vitamin D deficiency was highly prevalent in the HAP participants. Vitamin D deficiency was also present in some participants, despite prescribed prophylactic supplementation. Vitamin D stimulates immunity and hence vitamin D deficiency would have potentially increased the susceptibility of acquiring HAP.

Preexisting immunity does not prevent efficacy of VSV-based filovirus vaccines in nonhuman primates, 2023.06.08,
https://doi.org/10.1093/infdis/jiad208 .
Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV) made headlines in the past decade causing outbreaks of human disease in previously nonendemic yet overlapping areas. While EBOV outbreaks can be mitigated with licensed vaccines and treatments, there is not yet a licensed countermeasure for MARV. This study again demonstrates that VSVΔG-based filovirus vaccine can be successfully used in individuals with pre-existing VSV vector immunity highlighting the platform’s applicability for consecutive outbreak response.

Negligible risk of surface transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in public transportation, 2023.05.03,
https://doi.org/10.1093/jtm/taad065 .
Our findings suggest that surface transmission played no or negligible role in spreading SARS-CoV-2 in Prague. The results also demonstrate the potential of the new biosensor to serve as a complementary screening tool in epidemic monitoring and prognosis.

Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 among recruits in a US Army training environment: a brief report, 2023.05.03,
https://doi.org/10.1093/pubmed/fdad026 .
In 2020, preventive measures were implemented to mitigate the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) among 600–700 recruits arriving weekly at a basic combat training (BCT) facility in the southern United States. Nonpharmaceutical measures, such as masking, and social distancing, were maintained throughout quarantine and BCT. We assessed for SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the quarantine milieu.

Travel-related respiratory symptoms and infections in travellers (2000–2022): a systematic review and meta-analysis, 2023.06.13,
https://doi.org/10.1093/jtm/taad081 .
Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are common in travellers due to the year-round or seasonal presence of respiratory pathogen and exposure to crowded environments during the itinerary. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the prevalence of RTIs and symptoms suggestive of RTIs among travellers according to risk groups and/or geographic region, and to describe the spectrum of RTIs.

The first case of human infection with H5N1 avian influenza a virus in Chile, 2023.06.13,
https://doi.org/10.1093/jtm/taad083 .
Considering that the seasonal influenza season is approaching in the southern hemisphere, these types of outbreaks and zoonotic events put at risk and dangerously alert the possibility of latent recombination events between different types of influenza viruses in natural animal reservoirs and/or human populations.

Hepatitis C Virus Micro-elimination Among People With HIV in San Diego: Are We on Track?, 2023.03.22,
https://doi.org/10.1093/ofid/ofad153 .
Rising incidence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) among people with HIV (PWH) in San Diego County (SDC) was reported. In 2018, the University of California San Diego (UCSD) launched a micro-elimination initiative among PWH, and in 2020 SDC launched an initiative to reduce HCV incidence by 80% across 2015–2030. We model the impact of observed treatment scale-up on HCV micro-elimination among PWH in SDC.

Lack of Hepatitis C Virus Elimination by 2030 in Los Angeles County at Current Treatment Rate, 2023.03.10,
https://doi.org/10.1093/ofid/ofad125 .
The time is now for the United States to go beyond testing and linkage to care and implement effective approaches that integrate publicly funded treatment activities to accelerate HCV elimination. Los Angeles County is primed for leveraging the existing case-reporting and public health management approach. Further investments and public health efforts are necessary; otherwise the goal of HCV elimination by 2030 will remain elusive.
